Queen Wins Praise During Charity Visit Amid Potential Royal Schedule Clash
Queen Camilla has taken a thoughtful step following Harry's surprise announcement regarding the return of the Invictus Games to the UK in 2027—a decision that could reportedly lead to a scheduling clash with the Queen’s milestone birthday celebration.
The 77-year-old Queen made a public appearance on Thursday to officially open a new healing garden after attending a significant event at Buckingham Palace. She also visited the Asian Women's Resource Centre (AWRC) to mark its 45th anniversary, earning praise for her warm gestures while highlighting the charity’s vital support for women and children from Black, Minority, and Ethnic backgrounds.
During her visit, Queen Camilla toured the newly refurbished centre, engaging with staff, volunteers, and trustees, and spoke with survivors of domestic abuse. Her latest engagement underscores her ongoing dedication to raising awareness about domestic abuse and supporting organisations that assist survivors.
Meanwhile, Harry’s announcement that the Invictus Games will return to the UK in 2027 could potentially spark frustration within the royal household, as the event may coincide with Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday. The Queen has not had a close relationship with Harry, making the possible overlap a topic of royal interest.
The day before her public appearance, Buckingham Palace released a video of Queen Camilla hosting a reception attended by A-listers Cate Blanchett, Andrew Garfield, and James Corden, a known friend of Harry. The engagement further highlights Queen Camilla’s active role within the royal family, maintaining a steady presence amid ongoing family dynamics.
