Queen Camilla Receives Diagnosis of Small Infection — Royal Fans Send Prayers for Healing
Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Camilla, 77, has a chest infection.
According to the BBC, Camilla’s diagnosis has led her to cancel Thursday’s engagements, including her planned appearance at the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, where the Duchess of Gloucester will represent her.

It was also reported that Camilla will miss an evening reception at Buckingham Palace for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, which King Charles III will now host alone.
On doctors’ advice, Camilla will rest at home. However, she still aims to attend special events over the weekend, including Saturday’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall and Sunday’s Cenotaph service in Whitehall.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer extended well-wishes for her “speedy recovery” for the Queen.

Some questioned whether the King and Queen were fit to lead, “Charles and her need to step down. Their health issues prevent them from doing their duties. Queen Elizabeth knew what she was doing when she held out as long as she did! 😂 it was her plan all along for Charles and this woman to be in power as little time as possible. I love it [sic]!”
Another stated, “She’s elderly. I’d say the trip wore her out, probably Charles too.”
