Palace shares touching footage of the Queen highlighting her advocacy work as she recovers from a chest infection.
Buckingham Palace has released a poignant video of Queen Camilla following news of her illness, which has forced her to cancel upcoming engagements. The 77-year-old Queen is currently recovering from a chest infection, with her doctors advising a brief period of rest.
The video, shared by the royal family, underscores Camilla’s decade-long commitment to amplifying the voices of survivors of domestic and sexual violence. The Palace accompanied the video with a heartfelt message: "The Queen has worked tirelessly to highlight the stories of survivors for over ten years."
The clip also offers a preview of the forthcoming ITV documentary titled Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors, where viewers will gain further insight into Camilla’s advocacy and the vital conversations she has helped facilitate.
The release comes shortly after the Palace issued a statement about the Queen’s health, noting, "Her Majesty is currently unwell with a chest infection and has been advised to rest. With regret, she has had to withdraw from her engagements this week but hopes to recover in time for the weekend’s Remembrance events."
Camilla was notably absent from this year’s Field of Remembrance ceremony at Westminster Abbey, an event where participants honour fallen service members by planting poppy memorials. The Queen’s absence was keenly felt, though the Palace remains hopeful she will be well enough to attend upcoming Remembrance Day commemorations.
