In brief
Camilla, 77, hopes to recuperate in time for Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Queen Camilla has decided to step back from royal duties as she battles a chest infection, according to Buckingham Palace. The 77-year-old monarch, married to King Charles III, has been advised by her doctors to rest after falling ill. This means she will miss two engagements scheduled for Thursday, including a significant event at Westminster Abbey. The palace expressed that Her Majesty “regrets the inconvenience caused” by her absence. The hope is for her recovery in time for this weekend's Remembrance Day ceremonies, a time to honor those who have lost their lives serving in the armed forces. Currently, Queen Camilla is recuperating at home with medical support.This year has been challenging for the royal family, with both King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales, undergoing treatment for cancer. King Charles recently resumed public duties after a brief hiatus due to his health, while Catherine has also returned to her royal commitments after her own treatment. The couple had just returned from their tour in Australia and Samoa, where their engagements were marked by heavy rain, but they managed to participate in several events. Meanwhile, King Charles continues his engagements, meeting with international diplomats, including Qatar's new ambassador.
