Why Did Queen Camilla Cancel Royal Engagements? Health Update

As a dedicated royal follower with a decade-long fascination for the British monarchy, I can’t help but express my concern over Queen Camilla‘s recent health issues and subsequent cancellation of her engagements. Having followed her journey since her marriage to King Charles III, it’s heartening to see their strong bond and unwavering commitment to duty.


Recently, Queen Camilla has had to postpone all her planned public duties due to some health concerns and a persistent chest ailment. This unexpected announcement has left many wondering about the Queen’s current state of health and the reasons behind these cancellations.

Here’s an overview of Queen Camilla’s health status and the cancellations of her royal engagements.

Here’s what happened to Queen Camilla

Queen Camilla is currently battling a chest infection, and her doctors have suggested some rest. This news was confirmed by Buckingham Palace through a statement that mentioned Her Majesty’s unwell state and the need for her to cancel her scheduled activities this week. However, she looks forward to recovering in time to attend the Remembrance events as usual over the weekend. (Based on The New York Times report)

Queen Camilla has expressed regret to those impacted by her absence, as she is unable to attend due to illness. Specifically, she won’t be present at the Field of Remembrance ceremony in Westminster Abbey this Thursday. In her stead, the Duchess of Gloucester will represent her. Similarly, Queen Camilla also won’t attend the Buckingham Palace reception held by King Charles III, which recognizes the achievements of Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

Queen Camilla’s illness happened shortly after she and her husband King Charles III returned from a royal tour to Australia and Samoa. This tour marked King Charles III’s first visit to Australia as a monarch.

On previous occasions, such as in the year 2023, Queen Camilla has had to cancel events due to illness. Specifically, she contracted COVID-19 and was unable to attend a planned visit to the West Midlands.

In 2019, five years back, a bout of chest illness compelled Camilla to withdraw from a grand dinner at the London Library and an event at Westminster Abbey’s Field of Remembrance, which took place the following day (as reported by Daily Mail).
