Queen Camilla will make her first public appearance later today, after Buckingham Palace revealed she was ill with a chest infection.
Last Tuesday, it was revealed that Her Majesty had pulled out of a number of scheduled engagements because of the seasonal bug. Doctors advised a short period of rest at home.
The Palace later advised that following doctors’ advice she would not be attending Remembrance events, which included the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening and the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph.
“Following doctors’ guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend’s Remembrance events,” the Palace said in a statement.
“While this is a source of great disappointment to the Queen, she will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties early next week.”
But the Queen is due to return to royal duties today, as she hosts a reception at Clarence House to celebrate the authors and books shortlisted for this year’s Booker Prize.
