After weeks of shouldering the responsibility of royal engagements, Queen Camilla is taking a step back to recharge, according to reports. Hello! has revealed that she will be taking a short, week-long hiatus from her duties, allowing her to take a break from her busy schedule.
During her break, other senior members of the Royal Family will step in to carry out the duties on her behalf. Queen Camilla is expected to return to work on March 11, when she will lead the Royal Family for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.
This move comes as no surprise, considering King Charles’s recent health issues. He was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer last month, after undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate. Currently, he is undergoing treatment and splitting his time between London and the royal estate of Sandringham in Norfolk, England.
In the midst of King Charles’s health concerns, Camilla has taken on additional royal duties. She recently acted as the figurehead for the royal family at the memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece. However, this added responsibility has undoubtedly taken its toll.
This brief hiatus will give Queen Camilla a well-deserved break, allowing her to spend quality time with her husband and other family members. The exact details of their plans are unknown, but we can imagine they will make the most of this precious time together.
As for King Charles’s recovery, the royal family has been keeping the details private. However, during a meeting with the British Prime Minister, he shared that he has been touched by the overwhelming support and well-wishes from the public. The message from the royals is that Charles is doing well and maintaining a positive outlook.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, the future Queen, is also taking time to recover. After her hospitalization in late January for a planned abdominal procedure, she has been resting at home. She is not expected to return to public engagements until after Easter. While there have been concerns about her health, Kensington Palace has assured the public that there is no cause for alarm.
Let’s wish King Charles and Queen Camilla a pleasant and rejuvenating time together during this break.
