Palace Offers Concerning Health Update on Queen Camilla as King Charles Battles Cancer
Gossips about the monarchy are as common as afternoon tea, but the recent flurry of speculation surrounding Queen Camilla's abruptly canceled appearances feels like a crescendo. This uproar happens amid King Charles' ongoing cancer treatment and Kate Middleton's simultaneous cancer battle. So it's hardly surprising that concerns rise when royal engagements are scrapped these days.
Queen Camilla and King Charles returned home after a grueling nine-day tour of Australia and Samoa. The trip marked King Charles' first visit to a Commonwealth realm as monarch. Since announcing his cancer diagnosis, the King has been undergoing treatment without any significant updates on his health status. Although the palace has refused to disclose the specific type of cancer the King is fighting, rumors suggest it could be pancreatic cancer.

The King's illness has placed an extra burden on Queen Camilla to represent the Royal Family, given Princess of Wales', Kate Middleton, own cancer treatment. Reports indicate that Middleton has been diagnosed with a hidden type of cancer and underwent chemotherapy as a preventive measure earlier in the year.
So, why did Queen Camilla call off two planned appearances? Is she ill? And will she be attending the Remembrance events set for the weekend? Here's the latest scoop.
Is Queen Camilla unwell?
Yes, Queen Camilla is struggling with her health, although it's not reported to be severe. "Her Majesty The Queen is battling a chest infection for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest," a statement from the palace reads. "As a result, Her Majesty is compelled to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she optimistically hopes to recover in time for the Remembrance events scheduled for the weekend. She regrets any inconvenience or disappointment caused by her absence."
The Queen was noticeably absent at the annual Field of Remembrance event held at Westminster Abbey on November 7. In her place, the Duchess of Gloucester represented her at the event, which is organized by a charity supporting members of the armed forces in their quest for employment. The charity, The Poppy Factory, is one of the Queen's patrons.
Similarly, the Queen has reneged on co-hosting a Buckingham Palace reception alongside King Charles to honor all medalists for Team Great Britain competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympic Games. The event was also planned for November 7.
It remains unconfirmed whether the Queen will join the rest of the royal family for the Remembrance events designated for the weekend. The British Royal family typically comes together on Remembrance Day, November 10, to honor lives lost in war by appearing at The Cenotaph war memorial in London. Rumors indicate that the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, may also participate in the event.
