November 05, (THEWILL) – Queen Camilla is ill and has, therefore, cancelled her engagements for the week due to a chest infection, Buckingham Palace said.
“Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest.
“With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to recover in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal”, the Palace said in a statement.
Camilla, 77, will however, miss this year’s Field of Remembrance event at London’s Westminster Abbey on Thursday, which allows former service personnel and others to plant a poppy memorial to remember those who have lost their lives in the armed forces.
“She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result”, the palace spokesperson said, adding that her place will be taken by the Duchess of Gloucester.
King Charles had cancelled public engagements in February and only resumed in April following ongoing treatment for cancer.
The King and his Queen recently returned from a royal tour in Australia and Samoa.
