Queen Camilla is to cancel a number of planned engagements this week. This was announced by Buckingham Palace on Tuesday morning. A week after returning with King Charles III from a tour of Australia and the Samoa Islands, the Queen was ill and was resting at home. She will not be able to attend the inauguration on Thursday of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, where she will be represented by the Duchess of Gloucester. The Queen Consort, aged 77, is being monitored by doctors and still hopes to attend the annual Cenotaph ceremony on Remembrance Day on Sunday.
“Her Majesty the Queen is currently suffering from a lung infection which, according to her doctors, requires a period of convalescence,” the press release said. It is with great regret that Her Majesty has therefore had to abandon her commitments for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend's Remembrance events. »
