Meanwhile, Prince William embarked on a significant project to address homelessness in Cornwall, visiting a plot of land for the construction of housing. King Charles, currently undergoing cancer treatment, met military personnel and families at an Army training base in Surrey, while Queen Camilla hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for the 90th anniversary of Brooke, a charity dedicated to working animals.
