Queen Camilla cancels appearances as she reveals her full health diagnosis
- Replies 4
Queen Camilla, a prominent figure in the British royal family, has recently been the subject of concern after a series of cancelled public appearances.
The 77-year-old royal has now disclosed the full extent of her health struggles, which have been more serious than initially perceived by the public.
During a state visit in London, Queen Camilla opened up about her health diagnosis to guests, revealing that what was thought to be a mere chest infection turned out to be a about of pneumonia.
Fortunately, it has been clarified that her condition was viral and not bacterial, and she no longer suffers from the illness.
Despite her absence from the outdoor elements of the Qatari royal visit due to post-viral fatigue, Queen Camilla was seen arriving by car at Buckingham Palace.
She joined her husband, King Charles, and their esteemed guests, the Emir of Qatar and his wife, for the indoor portion of the event.
The onset of her health issues can be traced back to the royal tour of Australia and Samoa in October, which Queen Camilla undertook with King Charles.
Since then, she has had to withdraw from several high-profile engagements, including the Remembrance Day commemorations and the Royal Variety Performance.
Doctors have insisted that Queen Camilla take ample time to recover, which is a more pressing recommendation after she had to cancel her appearance at the Royal Variety Performance in London.
This cancellation raised eyebrows, as she had only recently returned to her royal duties in a limited capacity and seemed to be recuperating.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson stated, 'Following a recent chest infection, the Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest.'
Earlier, Queen Camilla had to forgo her attendance at the Field of Remembrance annual opening at Westminster Abbey, where the Duchess of Gloucester stepped in on her behalf.
She also missed the Palace's reception for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, hosted by King Charles, and subsequently withdrew from Remembrance events after being observed coughing during recent engagements.
The initial statement from the Palace expressed regret. It conveyed the Queen's apologies to those who might be inconvenienced or disappointed by her absence:
'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 be recovered in time to attend this weekend's Remembrance events as normal.'
This revelation comes in a year marked by health challenges within the royal family, with both King Charles and the Princess of Wales facing their medical battles against unspecified forms of cancer.
