It comes as Buckingham Palace announced on Tuesday that Camilla, who recently returned from a busy long-haul tour to Australia and Samoa and a luxury spa break in India, was unwell with a chest infection.

They said she would miss the opening of the Field of Remembrance and a reception for Olympic and Paralympic athletes on the same day while she recovers.

However, the Queen’s recovery seems to be going well as on Wednesday, the Palace released a new statement which said that she is expected to join King Charles at the glitzy global premiere of Gladiator II next week.

Next week’s newly announced engagements for Camilla, which also include a Booker Prize reception at Clarence House on Tuesday, will raise hopes she can attend this weekend’s Remembrance events.

The Queen, who is resting at her Wiltshire home Ray Mill, is hoping to be able to go to the annual Festival of Remembrance on Saturday evening at the Royal Albert Hall, and the poignant national Remembrance service at the Cenotaph on Whitehall on Sunday.
