What Illness Was Queen Camilla Diagnosed With?
Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Camilla, 77, has a chest infection.
According to the BBC, Camilla’s diagnosis led her to cancel engagements on November 7, 2024, including her planned appearance at the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, where the Duchess of Gloucester represented her.

It was also reported that Camilla will miss an evening reception at Buckingham Palace for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, which King Charles III will now host alone.
On doctors’ advice, Camilla will rest at home. However, she still aims to attend special events over the weekend, including Saturday’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall and Sunday’s Cenotaph service in Whitehall.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer extended well-wishes for her “speedy recovery” for the Queen.

Many royal supporters sent their well-wishes, with one writing, “That’s very bad news … I’m sorry Her Majesty Queen Camilla is unwell. I wish her comfort, peace, rest, recovery & may she receive excellent medical care & treatment for what’s ailing her. God bless her! 🤕😷🤧🤢❤️🩹✝️🙏 [sic]”
Another supporter simply said, “I pray she has a speedy recovery. 🙏”

Some questioned whether the King and Queen were fit to lead, “Charles and her need to step down. Their health issues prevent them from doing their duties. Queen Elizabeth knew what she was doing when she held out as long as she did! 😂 it was her plan all along for Charles and this woman to be in power as little time as possible. I love it [sic]!”
Another stated, “She’s elderly. I’d say the trip wore her out, probably Charles too.”
More royal supporters continued to wish Camilla a swift recovery, while others offered prayers for her healing.
Several noted her dedication to royal duties, especially during Charles’s recent absences.

Another fan expressed sympathy for the demands of her role, noting that she has been working very hard, which could be overwhelming at her age.

Amid mixed reactions from netizens, the Palace shared that Camilla’s condition appears minor, possibly due to recent long-haul travels with Charles.
In October, the couple visited Australia and Samoa, where Camilla shared candid moments with the public

“I’m dropping some tea on you guys right now. I’ve been on Mounjaro for the last uhm, I think, what, eight months,” disclosed the musician.

Diverting their attention to Taylor’s physical appearance, a social media user wrote, “Who cares looks like she put on about 30 pounds.”
