Queen Camilla pulls out of engagements due to health concerns

Buckingham Palace announced the news

The Queen consort and her husband King Charles had recently been on a royal tour to the Pacific, visiting Australia, Samoa and other commonwealth territories in the region.

In doing so the King becomes the first reigning monarch to visit a Commonwealth nation in over a decade.

Now, it has been reported that 77-year-old Queen Camilla has withdrawn from her engagements this week due to a chest infection as announced by Buckingham Palace.

Two weeks ago the royal couple embarked on a six-day tour of Australia, the first major escapade for the King since his cancer diagnosis.
