Camilla forced to pull out of event after 'contracting illness', Palace confirms
Queen Camilla has been forced to pull out of an engagement after contracting a "seasonal illness", Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The Queen Consort had been due to attend an event in the West Midlands tomorrow, which has now been postponed.
She had been expected to visit Elmhurst Ballet School, in Birmingham, to celebrate the school's centenary before visiting Southwater One Library in Telford - but these engagements will now be re-arranged.
However, the palace has said that at the moment, Camilla is hoping to be well enough to undertake engagements scheduled for Wednesday as planned. It is believed she has been struck down with a heavy cold or bug.
