Is Queen Camilla more poorly than we think?

Camilla seems to have picked up the bug around the time of her Australia/India trip so maybe it’s a strain that we in the UK have no immunity against yet?

Though there do seem to be some vicious germs about just now. A three weeks plus illness is not unusual, to go by friends’ experiences recently.

Yes, Katherine will be doing her Carol concert.

Don't want to be picky but her name is Catherine.

Dh had bad chest viral infection for 8 weeks and there’s still residual congestion left. Camilla will have lots of private medical care but it’s still a virulent virus.

She’s a smoker so it maybe one of those lingering coughs, that drive people mad in the theatre…

I believe she no longer smokes

I thought she gave up years ago because Charles disliked it so much.

I'm not a royalist butI think Camilla is a wonderful force of nature & very attractive. However, don't forget that she will be receiving the very best of healthcare & be toasty warm too, unlike the rest of us poor Plebs who just pay the taxes & get sub-standard healthcare & can't afford to heat our homes properly. Open your eyes people, don't believe all the spiel.😬

She is a smoker, still.
Plenty of pictures if her with a fag on the go.

I feel the same Primrose.
I hope she gets well soon.

I hope she gets well soon. I have rather warmed to her recently.

I don’t think she is very unwell, because according to BBC News

‘She returned to public duties last week, but is understood to still be under the weather after a busy week of engagements.’

She’s probably tired and run down, but it doesn’t sound serious.

She gave up smoking 20 years ago.

I suspect that the Queen has the really vicious chest infection doing the rounds, as others have mentioned. DH and Ihave both had it. I usually get over these thngs in a week but with this one it was nearly 3 weeks before I felt well again.

DH's attack of it was so bad, it triggered his other health problems and ended with him having a fortnight of almost daily health interventions and it has significantly damaged his health.

I felt ok after a few days but quite tired and my iron levels were rather low, apparently, although that could have been a coincidence.

It was the irritating cough which was draining and annoying.

I hope your DH feels better soon, is he taking Vitamin D and other any other vitamins to boost his immune system?

Thank you. I enjoy that.

Many people here are having Covid symptoms being really bad for longer periods but testing negative I don’t think the tests have kept up with the changes in the virus

Yes, Katherine will be doing her Carol concert.

Probably heartbroken about her dog too. Get well soon Camilla.

Yes, I know how long it takes not to have teary eyes and low mood after that.
I hope she is on the mend soon.
Is The Princess of Wales doing her carol concert this year?

I've had a bad chest infection, 12 days ago doctor in A&E said it was 50/50 that I'd be admitted, I got to go home. 12 days on after a 5 day and then 7 day prescription for antibiotics I'm still not 100% and I'm younger than the Queen.

I'm also a lifelong non smoker so I can't even blame that.

The aftermath of chest infections can linger so she may have been advised not to be amongst large crowds at the moment, just to be on the safe side. No, FriedGreenTomates2 on a nippy November evening I know where I would rather be and it wouldn't be the Royal Variety Performance.

Chesty colds can hang about at this time of year and be very draining. If one were to speculate which one shouldn't especially about royalty (used to be treason) our dear Queen is an ex-smoker and may well find recovery slower than non smokers.

If it's the same virus that I had, which is doing the rounds and so many people have (not Covid), this is the first day I haven't coughed except for a little first thing this morning. Touch wood.
That's five or six weeks of a very irritating but not chesty cough.
I don't smoke either.

Probably heartbroken about her dog too. Get well soon Camilla.

I wish the Queen a speedy and full recovery.

As we age it takes longer to shake off infections, I guess she is running on empty after the stresses and strains of the past year.

I assume the King is going?

If so, I expect someone will be drafted in to accompany him.

They probably draw lots, hoping it’s not their turn to attend.

Joking aside, I hope the Queen is soon better.

Royal Variety Performance with a cough ?
