Queen Camilla has pulled out of attending tonight’s Royal Variety Show due to her recent chest infection, Buckingham Palace has said.
A spokesperson for the royal family said the Queen would not attend the entertainment industry fundraising performance due to ongoing health issues, which have affected her royal duties.
In a statement, the Palace said: “Following a recent chest infection, The Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest.”
“With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight’s Royal Variety Performance. His Majesty will attend as planned,” the spokesperson said.
