What happened to Queen Camilla?
“Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest,” a palace spokesperson said in a statement to the New York Post.
While she is forced to take time off from her royal duties due to illness, Queen Camilla wishes to attend the Remembrance events slated for this weekend, should she recover in time.
The spokesperson continued to say, “With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal.”
