The Queen will miss Remembrance events this weekend while she recovers from a chest infection, Buckingham Palace says.
A statement said Queen Camilla was “following doctors’ guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk”.
“While this is a source of great disappointment to the Queen, she will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties early next week,” the statement said.
On Friday, it was confirmed the Princess of Wales would attend Remembrance events in London this weekend as she gradually returns to public duties following her cancer treatment.
The Queen, who is 77, had withdrawn from events earlier in the week.
She missed the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday, where she was instead represented by the Duchess of Gloucester.
The Queen returned to the UK last Wednesday after a trip with the King to Australia and Samoa, which included a stopover in India on the way back.
