Queen Camilla's health setback alters royal visit plans

The escapades of the British royal family have captivated the media worldwide for many years. Lately, however, there has been much discussion about the health problems of the royals, of which there is certainly no shortage. Currently, much attention is focused on Queen Camilla. The wife of King Charles III contracted a severe infection, which has significantly disrupted her royal duties.

The Emir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, along with one of his wives, has arrived in the United Kingdom on an official state visit. Naturally, the British royal family prepared a series of attractions for the guests. One of these was welcoming the couple during a ceremonial horse parade on the parade ground. However, Queen Camilla was not present at the event.

It turns out that Queen Camilla has still not recovered from the severe infection she contracted during her trip to Australia, which took place in October. The programme for the Emir of Qatar and his wife's visit to the royal court had to be modified because doctors advised Camilla to avoid outdoor activities due to her health condition.

The queen will not attend the official welcoming during the state visit of Qatar due to persistent side effects from a chest infection, but she will participate in other parts of the day, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

Although the queen did not attend the formal welcoming, she was present at a special presentation and lunch at Buckingham Palace. According to a report from the "Daily Mail," the 76-year-old revealed during the event that the chest infection she contracted was a form of pneumonia. Camilla also emphasised that she "still suffers from chronic side effects of this illness." A source from the service noted that the queen has experienced a "significant drop in energy."
