The Queen hopes to recover in time for the important Remembrance Day observances this weekend.

Queen Camilla has withdrawn from her scheduled engagements this week due to a chest infection, as confirmed by Buckingham Palace.

King Charles, who married Camilla in 2005, is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, diagnosed in February 2024, which has limited his engagements.

Symptoms of chest infections include persistent cough, wheezing, breathlessness, and high temperature, among others.

Queen Camilla is a patron of The Poppy Factory charity, which assists military families in finding employment, and the Field of Remembrance event marks its 96th year.

Despite her illness, Camilla is expected to attend the global premiere of Gladiator II on November 13, 2024.

Additionally, she is scheduled to host a reception for authors shortlisted for the Booker Prize at Clarence House on November 12, 2024.

Chest infections are common during autumn and winter, often following colds or flu, and can affect the lungs or large airways.

She will be represented by Birgitte, the Duchess of Gloucester, at the Field of Remembrance event at Westminster Abbey on November 7, 2024.

Recent travel, including long-haul flights from a nine-day tour of Australia and Samoa, may have contributed to her seasonal illness, which has been confirmed not to be COVID-19.

At 77 years old, Queen Camilla has been actively involved in royal duties, especially following King Charles's health issues earlier this year, including his cancer diagnosis.

Details about the Queen's illness and treatment remain limited, but she is reportedly under medical supervision.
