Buckingham Palace has shared a heartwarming update regarding Queen Camilla’s latest role within the royal family, as she steps forward amid King Charles's ongoing health challenges. The Queen Consort has been named the patron of the King Charles III Sacristy building project at Westminster Abbey, which will serve as a venue for state occasions and welcome visitors.
Alongside photos of Camilla visiting the site, Buckingham Palace issued a statement that read: "Today, The Queen visited the site of the new King Charles III Sacristy building at Westminster Abbey, which will welcome visitors and serve as a gathering place on State occasions." The project is located on the original site of the medieval Great Sacristy, built in the 1250s, which played a vital role in Abbey life by storing sacred items and hosting processions.
This announcement follows a heartfelt message from King Charles and Queen Camilla offering condolences to the people of Nepal, who have been affected by devastating floods and landslides.
