Per The Telegraph, during a recent state visit by the Qatari dignitaries, Queen Camilla shared an update on her health with guests, revealing that her recent chest infection was indeed a form of pneumonia.
The revelation came amidst her continued recovery, which has seen her stepping back from several high-profile engagements.
The 77-year-old Queen, who has faced health challenges following a lengthy trip to Australia and Samoa, is now suffering from post-viral fatigue.
Her condition - confirmed to be viral rather than bacterial - means she no longer has active pneumonia but is experiencing significant bouts of tiredness that have impacted her public duties.
At a significant moment during the state visit, Queen Camilla opted out of the outdoor ceremonial welcome at Horse Guards Parade due to the cold weather, which could have exacerbated her condition. Instead, she chose a more subdued arrival at Buckingham Palace, where she warmly greeted the Emir of Qatar and his wife indoors.
This cautious approach comes after the Queen had to miss not only the outdoor event but also other important engagements such as the Royal Variety Performance, the UK premiere of Gladiator II, and the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph.
A royal source provided insight into the Queen's current state, telling The Telegraph: "Some days, the Queen is on really good form. It’s just one of those things. She has lost the coughing, but the lingering side of it is bouts of extreme tiredness. There has to be a degree of flex in the Queen’s diary at the moment."
The adjustments to Queen Camilla's schedule and the careful management of her public appearances reflect a mindful approach to her recovery, ensuring she maintains her health while still fulfilling her royal duties as much as possible.
The news also comes as King Charles III continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
We wish Queen Camilla the best with her recovery.
