Britain’s Queen Camilla, aged 77, is expected to resume her public duties on Tuesday following her absence from weekend events due to a chest infection. Despite her recovery, she will be limiting her time at scheduled engagements. Queen Camilla plans to attend a reception for the finalists of the prestigious Booker Prize for fiction writing, as well as a reception for the television and film industry. However, she will be reducing her participation in both events.

Unfortunately, Queen Camilla will not be attending the premiere of the film “Gladiator II” on Wednesday night, as advised by her doctors to prioritize her health and recovery. Her absence was notable during the “Festival of Remembrance” at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saturday and the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph war memorial, significant events that honor those who served Britain in past wars and conflicts.

These annual events, held before Armistice Day, are traditionally attended by members of the royal family, making Queen Camilla’s absence all the more noticeable. Despite missing these important gatherings, the Queen's health remains a top priority, and her return to public duties marks a positive step in her recovery process.
