Queen Camilla, who has returned to the royal duties while spending time with King Charles in Scotland, made a big confession about her health.
During her latest visit to the Royal Academy of Dance at its global headquarters in London, the 79-year-old shared a major update on her health. She admitted that she felt "a little creaky" following the summer break at Balmoral Castle.
To a question from her ballet instructor Sarah Platt about her wellbeing, the Queen responded as saying: "I'm still standing!" before adding with a laugh: "Just!"
Queen Camilla is also making every efforts to suppot her husband amid ongoing family crises and King charles cancer treatment.
The outing marked her first official engagement since the Scottish holiday, and she appeared in fine spirits despite her self-deprecating assessment.
At the academy, she was greeted by its president, Dame Darcey Bussell - the celebrated ballerina and former Strictly Come Dancing judge.
Camilla embraced her teacher warmly upon their reunion, dressed in an Anna Valentine outfit, before settling in to observe a class. Broadcaster Angela Rippon, herself a Silver Swans participant, joined her for the occasion.
"It's so uplifting. It gives you a bit of a buzz and makes you feel a lot better. I love it, and you were brilliant!" the Queen told them, adding: "It's absolutely the best thing."
