Queen Camilla 'upset' to miss Remembrance events - 'They are dear to her heart'

Following the announcement that Queen Camilla will be unable to attend the Remembrance events in London this weekend owing to a chest infection, a leading royal expert has looked at how the Queen, who has a deep, personal connection with the Armed Forces - will be feeling and why it will be a particularly difficult to come to terms with.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said. "Following doctors’ guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend’s Remembrance events.

While this is a source of great disappointment to The Queen, she will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties early next week." After the news that the Queen would not be able to join the Royal Family for the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance on Saturday evening, or the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Sunday, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively told OK!: "This is such a shame, as to see all the senior royals back on parade together would have been heartening. "Chest infections can be quite nasty as you grow older and it’s important that the queen follows her doctor’s advice and rests.

But there are other factors at play here as well: she wouldn’t want to risk passing the infection onto Catherine or anybody else." On the Queen's recuperation, Jennie added: "The Palace haven’t said where Camilla is recovering but it could well be at her home in Ray Mill which would mean she was also keeping a precautionary distance from the King as he resumes his cancer treatment.
