The palace announced on November 5 that Camilla had fallen ill with a chest infection and would be canceling her plans for the week. The news came a few days after she and Charles had returned from their trip to Australia and Samoa.

The 77-year-old royal admitted she was still “coughing” as she resumed her duties after canceling several appearances due to the illness.

Queen Camilla of Britain is recovering after a chest infection led her to miss several engagements, including Remembrance events. She has returned to royal duties, recently attending a Buckingham Palace reception where she chatted with actress Emily Mortimer about their mothers' shared smoking habit.
