After a busy few weeks, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Queen Camilla is unwell with a chest infection and has been forced to cancel her engagements this week
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Queen Camilla is unwell with a chest infection and has been forced to cancel her engagements this week. The news comes after an incredibly busy time for the Queen as she and King Charles have recently returned from a successful tour of Australia and Samoa to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest. As well as pulling out of a Buckingham Palace reception for Olympic and Paralympic athletes hosted by the King, The Duchess of Gloucester has been asked to step in on the Queen's behalf and attend the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday.The news of the Queen's illness comes ahead of the release of the ITV documentary Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors which charts Camilla's passion for supporting the victims of domestic abuse.
She goes on to add: “One of the most difficult things about domestic abuse, to understand, it’s not the bruises and the black eyes, which, unfortunately you see, through violence, this is something that creeps up very slowly and, far too often, it ends up with women being killed.”
