<p id=”par-2_35″>Royal expert Ingrid Seaward told <a href=”https://www.gbnews.com/royal/queen-camilla-health-latest-weakened” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>GB News</a> that she worries for the queen consort’s health. Camilla Parker Bowles was diagnosed with pneumonia in November and she continues to experience <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-health-challenges-result-difficult-decisions-buckingham-palace.html/?swcfpc=1″>health challenges</a> after battling the illness.</p>
<p id=”par-3_21″>“Queen Camilla has always been prone to chest infections. This one turned into viral pneumonia which is not uncommon,” Seaward explained.</p>
<p id=”par-4_27″>“It just means her chest is weakened even more. She just has to be very careful. It does take some time to recover,” the royal expert continued.</p>
<p id=”par-5_47″>“This is why she hasn’t gone out into the cold. If she can just stay in one temperature there is a better chance of recovery,” the expert concluded. She referred to Camilla’s participation in the indoor portions of a state visit from Qatar’s Emir and his wife.</p>

<p id=”par-8_50″>A Buckingham Palace spokesperson subsequently stated: “The Queen has been suffering from a viral infection which has been diagnosed as pneumonia.

<p id=”par-10_50″>The outlet quoted a friend who claimed, “People forget that Camilla never set out to be queen. She never signed up for the hamster wheel. [Camilla] just happened to fall in love with a prince. However, she has risen to the demands of the job but she finds it exhausting.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_49″>A second person was quoted as saying, “We are all extremely concerned that this happened. Thank goodness she seems to have recovered. Camilla just needs to rest and recuperate now over Christmas and I only hope they drive her and the king to church on Christmas Day if it’s cold!”</p>
<p id=”par-12_26″>The palace has not yet announced if the queen consort will partake in the annual walk to church when the royal family celebrates Christmas at Sandringham.</p>
