The British royal family faced significant challenges in 2024, including King Charles and the Princess of Wales both undergoing cancer treatment. This led to a 'slimmed-down monarchy,' with other royal members stepping in to fulfill duties. Queen Camilla recently had a media-highlighted reunion with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, while King Charles was absent due to his health issues. The reunion showcased their amicable relationship post-divorce, as they greeted each other warmly. At Royal Ascot, Camilla also made a fashionable appearance, wearing a floral dress and engaging with attendees, further demonstrating her active role within the royal family. Meanwhile, Sarah, Duchess of York, also revealed her own cancer diagnosis, adding to the family's difficulties this year.
