Now King Charles will going alone to the Royal Variety performance.
Buckingham Palace is insisting there is no cause for alarm.
Shortly after the King and Queen returned to the UK following their tour of Australia and Samoa, Camilla began experiencing symptoms of a chest infection.
On November 5, Buckingham Palace issued an initial statement revealing that Queen Camilla was unwell with a chest infection.
A palace spokesman said: “Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest.
“With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal.
“She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.”
This saw the Queen miss the annual Field of Remembrance event at Westminster Abbey on November 7.
The Duchess of Gloucester agreed to represent Camilla at the Field of Remembrance.
She also pulled out of the weekend’s Remembrance events, including the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night and the Sunday service at the Cenotaph.
But, while the infection has been disruptive, it is not expected to have long-term effects on her ability to perform royal duties.
