Queen Camilla has decided to step back from tonight’s Royal Variety Performance as she continues recovering from a chest infection.
At 77 years old, the Queen made the choice based on her doctors’ advice, which emphasized the importance of rest after a busy week of engagements.
According to a Buckingham Palace spokesperson, lingering post-viral symptoms have prompted Her Majesty to prioritize her health.
“With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight’s Royal Variety Performance,” the statement read.
Despite her absence, King Charles will attend the event as planned.
Sensible Steps for a Full Recovery
While Camilla is reportedly “on the road to recovery,” sources note that such infections often require time to fully clear.
Given the demanding nature and late hours of tonight’s event, she has prudently chosen to follow medical advice.
The Queen will remain in London for the evening but intends to travel to Sandringham in the coming days, sticking to her original schedule.
Insiders have reassured the public there is no cause for alarm, describing the illness as a “nasty bug that’s going around.”
While she is still feeling slightly under the weather, she is said to be steadily improving.
Disappointment but Determination
A royal source shared that Queen Camilla is “naturally disappointed” to miss the evening’s performances.
However, she has expressed her sincere apologies to everyone involved, affirming her belief that “the show must go on.”
She hopes to resume her regular public duties soon, once fully recovered.
