Princess Eugenie<\/strong> <\/a>has shared an update on her uncle King Charles III<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s health in the middle of his cancer battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for asking. He\u2019s doing well,\u201d Eugenie, 33, said during the Elephant Family\u2019s Little Egg Hunt on Thursday, March 21, per X<\/a> footage shared by ITV reporter Chris Ship<\/strong>. \u201cHe\u2019d also be very proud today because the Elephant Family is very close to his heart too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Elephant Family nonprofit, which was founded by Queen Camilla<\/strong>\u2019s late brother Mark Shand<\/strong>, held one of its main fundraising campaigns<\/a> on Thursday. The outdoor art exhibition helps raise funds for the organization\u2019s conservation work. Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew<\/strong> and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, is a patron of the Elephant Family.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe royal line of succession has been shaken up and moved around \u2014 but where do members of the British royal family stand when it comes to their place in line to the throne? Queen Elizabeth II had been head of the Commonwealth since 1952 when she died in September 2022 at the age of [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSo happy to be part of the opening of @elephantfamily @clarencecourt Little Egg Hunt this morning,\u201d she wrote via Instagram on Thursday. \u201c12 artists have created 12 installations forming a live Easter Egg trail around Chelsea, raising awareness of the important conservation work the charity does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eugenie further noted that Thursday is the 10th anniversary of the death of Shand, who was Charles\u2019 brother-in-law. (Charles married Camilla, 76, in 2005 after their respective divorces.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThis felt like a perfect way to celebrate his memory. What an incredible visionary he was to create @elephantfamily and help protect these beautiful giants,\u201d Eugenie concluded her social media post.<\/p>\n

Eugenie was the sole royal to attend the Thursday benefit. Charles, 75, has limited his public appearances as he receives treatment for cancer, though he has held a few audiences<\/a> at Buckingham Palace throughout the month.<\/p>\n
