Queen Consort Camilla is said to have spent the past week enduring a broken toe whilst supporting her husband King Charles III. It's not known how the 75-year-old sustained the injury but it's believed it occurred prior to the Queen's death last Thursday.
A source close to the royal family revealed that she's been 'getting on' with the job of supporting the King in the hectic and emotionally-draining period since his mother passed away, despite having been in 'quite a lot of pain'. According to The Telegraph the source said, "'It is unfortunate timing to say the least but she's been an absolute trouper".
The spokesperson for King Charles has refused to comment on individuals' 'medical conditions'. The news comes as the royal couple head to Wales later today for the King's first visit to the country since he ascended to the throne.

Charles and Camilla will attend a remembrance service at Llandaff Cathedral. The day after the Queen's death a notice was put outside the cathedral announcing that it had closed until further notice in order to prepare for the service.
Many streets in the area have been closed throughout the week, while residents have been told to move their cars ahead of the Royal visit. You can read more about that here.
Following that the King will receive condolences at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay before having a private audience with Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford at Cardiff Castle and attending a reception hosted by the Welsh Government. Afterwards, he and Camilla will then return to Buckingham Palace in the evening.
