Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Queen Camilla will not attend several planned engagements this week due to a chest infection. The palace has not released any additional information about her illness or medical treatment, but reports indicate that the queen is resting at home under the guidance of her physicians. In her place, the Duchess of Gloucester will represent the Queen at the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday.
