Prince Charles addressed Queen Elizabeth's health on Wednesday.
Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are in the midst of a royal tour of Jordan and Egypt, as Sky News reported.
During the tour, the heir to the UK throne spoke to a reporter from Sky News about his mother's health, as a video tweeted by the outlet shows.
He said quietly that his mother was "alright."
"Once you get to 95, it's not quite as easy as it used to be," the prince said with a laugh of the Queen, who celebrated her 95th birthday in April.
"It's bad enough at 73," he added, referencing his own age.
He then ended the interview, waving to reporters as he walked away, as the short video shows.
Queen Elizabeth has canceled multiple public appearances in recent weeks because of her health.
On October 20th, she abruptly canceled a trip to Northern Ireland after she "reluctantly accepted" medical advice to rest following a brief hospital stay for "preliminary investigations."
Most recently, she pulled out of a Remembrance Sunday service as a result of a sprained back on Sunday.
The monarch has made virtual appearances since receiving advice to rest, including an appointment with the ambassador from the Republic of Korea, Gunn Kim.
Representatives for Prince Charles did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
