Palace Adjusts Royal Schedule as Queen Recovers from Viral Chest Infection
Queen Camilla’s health issues continue to impact her royal duties, prompting Buckingham Palace to adjust her official schedule for the State Visit of the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani.
The Queen, who is reportedly dealing with lingering effects of a viral chest infection, will not participate in the ceremonial welcome at Horse Guards Parade on Tuesday. King Charles and Prince William will represent the Royal Family at the outdoor event. Camilla will also miss the carriage procession back to Buckingham Palace.
Despite these changes, the Queen is expected to attend other elements of the State Visit, including a luncheon at Buckingham Palace and a viewing of an exhibition in the Picture Gallery.
Camilla’s health challenges, believed to have started during her trip to Australia and Samoa, have significantly diminished her energy levels. Over the past several weeks, she has withdrawn from key royal engagements, including Remembrance Sunday Weekend and the Royal Variety Performance.
Doctors have recommended that Queen Camilla limit her public appearances and focus on rest to avoid further complications. The Palace has assured that her recovery remains the priority, with her schedule being adjusted accordingly.
Queen Camilla’s reduced engagements underscore the importance of balancing royal responsibilities with health and well-being, as she continues to recover under medical guidance.
