The Queen has withdrawn from the Qatari state visit scheduled for tomorrow due to her recovering from a chest infection, as advised by doctors to conserve her energy levels. She will still attend parts of the visit but with reduced commitments.
The Queen has had to withdraw from the Qatari state visit tomorrow as she's still recovering from a chest infection. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson revealed: "Her Majesty has had a nasty viral chest infection which – as is not uncommon in such cases – continues to have some lingering side effects, in particular leaving Her Majesty with significantly diminished reserves of energy.
"The Queen will join the Farewells on Wednesday. Please note there has been no alteration in any diagnosis or treatment being received. Her Majesty just needs time to rest and recover fully, which is more challenging with a back-to-back diary programme such as the SV." The Queen has been fighting a chest infection for weeks, and it made her withdraw from the Remembrance Sunday ceremony and the Royal Variety Performance in November.
"With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight’s Royal Variety Performance. His Majesty will attend as planned."Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who has faced her own major health problems this year, said: "Love is the light that can shine bright, even in our darkest times."
