That same evening, King Charles hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, an event that Queen Camilla had originally been scheduled to co-host.

By November 12, Camilla felt well enough to attend the Booker Prize reception at Clarence House. Passionate about literature, she was eager to be there but had to depart early. Before leaving, she told one of the finalists, “I really wanted” to attend and reassured them that she was “obviously getting much better… A bit of sort of coughing going on.”

“I think I’m on the mend, but these things always take a bit time to get rid of,” she added. “You think you’ve got rid of it, then they just sort of hang on for a little bit, but hopefully I’m on the mend now.”

On November 13, the king and queen were scheduled to celebrate the 100th anniversary of London’s Film and TV Charity, an organization that provides support to struggling cinema workers and their families. However, as her illness lingers, Camilla has been forced to step back from the highly anticipated Gladiator II premiere at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, leaving Charles to attend alone.

According to Newsweek, this event marks “the 72nd Royal Film Performance delivered by the charity, which marks its 100th anniversary this year.”
