Queen Camilla is reported to be recovering well, though she continues to experience occasional symptoms of post-viral fatigue following an illness. She appeared in good health on December 3, participating in the official events marking the first day of Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani’s State Visit to the UK. Her participation in these events, including a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace, demonstrates her ongoing recovery.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has also returned to her royal duties after completing cancer treatment. Having undergone chemotherapy earlier in 2024, Middleton expressed in September that she felt a sense of relief after finishing her treatment. She had largely stepped back from public appearances this year due to her health, but her return to the royal duties signifies a positive recovery.
Queen Camilla’s health issues initially surfaced in November when a chest infection was made public. She has had lingering symptoms, including a cough, which caused her to miss some events such as the Gladiator II premiere and the Royal Variety Performance. Despite these challenges, she is still fulfilling royal engagements, with a scheduled appearance at the Entente Littéraire Prize Ceremony in London on Wednesday.
In a personal note, Camilla’s husband, King Charles III, revealed his cancer diagnosis earlier this year. He expressed gratitude for the public’s support, noting how his own experience with cancer has deepened his respect for the work of organizations supporting patients and their families.
