Queen Camilla Returns to Duties After Illness

Queen Camilla is gradually resuming her public duties after recovering from a seasonal chest infection, which caused her to miss several events, including Remembrance Sunday and the Gladiator II premiere. She returned to work on November 12 by hosting a reception for the Booker Prize finalists at Clarence House, although her interactions were limited due to her ongoing recovery. Camilla expressed her desire to engage with the authors, stating, 'I’m getting much better….I really wanted to come.' Despite her return, she will not attend the Gladiator II premiere and will cut short her participation at a Buckingham Palace reception celebrating the film industry. King Charles will represent her at both events, ensuring that she avoids any strain during her recuperation period. A Palace spokesperson noted that she hopes to fully recover in time for future engagements, expressing regret for any inconvenience caused by her absences.
