Queen Camilla health update as she confirms illness during state visit

Queen Consort Camilla is said to be suffering with 'extreme tiredness' as she has pulled out of a number of events after being diagnosed with "a form of pneumonia"

This update follows the Palace's announcement that Camilla would be absent from the ceremonial welcome for the Qatari state visit, still feeling the effects of the chest infection she caught after her trip to Australia and Samoa. Her Majesty has not required hospital treatment but is experiencing lingering side effects, chiefly suffering extreme bouts of tiredness which has meant the need for greater flex in her working diary. "Her symptoms have been persistent for a number of weeks but fortunately she is well enough to attend several engagements for the Qatari state visit and looks forward to returning to a full schedule as soon as possible."
