Dressed in a floral Fiona Clare dress, which she has worn on at least eight previous occasions, the royal spoke to Suzy Moon, who works for MacMillan partnership, who asked about King Charles.

The royal couple hosted various members of the family at the Scottish castle – include the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as Keir Starmer.
The new Dyson Cancer Centre brings together the majority of the Royal United Hospital’s cancer services, including a research hub, chemotherapy and radiotherapy services, a 22-bed in-patient ward, a dedicated pharmacy and nuclear medicine and physics teams under one roof.
Construction of the centre began in 2021 after supporters (more than 11,000 people donated in total) raised more than £10 million. The centre was backed by an additional £40m in Government funding and opened to patients in April this year.
In the Macmillan Wellbeing Hub, a non-clinical, calming space where patients, families and carers can receive practical and emotional support, Her Majesty will meet patients and hear about the support they’ve received at the centre. Her Majesty will also meet clinical staff and patients receiving treatment in the Medlock Unit (Chemotherapy and Day Unit).
After touring the William Budd inpatient ward, meeting in-patients and clinical staff, Her Majesty will be invited to join a Reception in the Main Atrium with those involved in the centre’s construction, supporters and other members of staff.
Before departing, The Queen will unveil a plaque officially opening the Dyson Cancer Centre.
