Buckingham Palace in major announcement as Queen withdraws from all engagements this week


After a busy few weeks, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Queen Camilla is unwell with a chest infection and has been forced to cancel her engagements this week

As well as pulling out of a Buckingham Palace reception for Olympic and Paralympic athletes hosted by the King, The Duchess of Gloucester has been asked to step in on the Queen's behalf and attend the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday. She goes on to add: “One of the most difficult things about domestic abuse, to understand, it’s not the bruises and the black eyes, which, unfortunately you see, through violence, this is something that creeps up very slowly and, far too often, it ends up with women being killed.” Queen Camilla is an important advocate for ending domestic abuse (Image: 2022 Getty Images)The documentary, which airs ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25, brings together a number of campaigners, politicians and celebrities including the likes of former Prime Minister Theresa May, Cherie Blair, Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Patrick Stewart – and they all share the view that Camilla’s work to tackle the subject is a force for good.
