Queen Elizabeth II will not be attending Remembrance Day events this weekend due to her recovery from a chest infection to minimize the risk to others, as per Buckingham Palace announcement. Despite her absence, Queen Camilla will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties soon. The King and Princess of Wales will be present at both events, with the King laying a wreath of poppies at the Cenotaph on Sunday.
This weekend marks the first time the princess has carried out two consecutive days of official engagements since the beginning of the year. The King, who recently returned from a tour of Australia, has been limiting his engagements to allow for rest during his cancer treatment. The palace emphasized that there is no cause for concern regarding Camilla’s health, as her husband and daughter-in-law have been cautious to protect themselves.
Camilla had to cancel previous engagements earlier this week on the advice of the Queen’s doctors for a short period of rest. Officials mentioned that the Queen’s attendance at upcoming events would depend on medical advice closer to the time. Despite the challenges faced by the Royal Family this year, Prince William expressed pride in his wife and father for their resilience in handling their health struggles. He described 2024 as the hardest year of his life, emphasizing the difficulties faced in balancing personal challenges with ongoing responsibilities.
