Buckingham Palace in major announcement about Queen Camilla as she pulls out of public appearance

ok.co.uk:

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Queen Camilla will no longer be able to attend the Royal Variety Performance this evening due to "lingering post-viral symptoms" following her chest infection.The cancellation - which comes after the Queen was unable to attend Remembrance events in London earlier this month - has left her feeling "naturally disappointed" and hopes to be back to work soon.

The King will still attend this year's show at the Royal Albert Hall for the first time since his accession and will watch on as Alan Carr and Amanda Holden host the celebration, while the likes of Elton John, Penn & Teller and BGT winner Sydnie Christmas perform.

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 "With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight's Royal Variety Performance.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 King and Queen last attended the annual show when they were still the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in 2016, with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh taking their place in 2022 and the Prince and Princess of Wales taking to the royal box with the Crown Princess of Sweden and Prince Daniel last year.
