He wasn’t there yesterday at the celebrations Remembrance Sundaythe ceremony for the fallen which takes place every year in London. And she didn’t even show up at a series of events organized at Clarence House, her official home with King Charles III, including a reception dedicated to the English Olympic champions. The statement from Buckingham Palace was of few words: Queen Camilla is not wellhas a chest infection and stays at home for a few days – his very own, in the Wiltshire countryside, leaving Carlo alone in the capital. Parker Bowles hopes, they say, to return to work this week. But are they hiding something at court?
After King Charles and Kate Middleton, also Queen Camilla?
This evening, the British broadcaster Itv will transmit Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doorsa major documentary about Camilla’s battle with domestic abuse. However, her absence and the silence in recent days from the Buckingham Palace press office on the Queen’s true condition is starting to worry, giving rise to serious speculation. And after a year of uncertain news about Charles and Kate’s health – both still being treated for cancer – i Royal watcher they start to wonder: is this really just a chest infection?
Is Queen Camilla hospitalized?
