Queen Camilla Diagnosed with Chest Infection, Cancels Engagements

The 77-year-old monarch is resting at home under medical supervision following her recent overseas tour.

  • Queen Camilla has been advised to rest after being diagnosed with a chest infection, a condition affecting the lungs or large airways.
  • Symptoms of chest infections can include a persistent cough, wheezing, breathlessness, and a high temperature.
  • The Queen recently returned from an official tour to Australia and Samoa, which may have contributed to her illness.
  • Doctors are monitoring her condition, with treatment options including antibiotics if the infection is bacterial.
  • Chest infections are common in autumn and winter, with elderly individuals or those with pre-existing conditions at higher risk.
