The Queen will miss this weekend’s Remembrance Day events due to illness, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. Advised by doctors to rest and avoid public gatherings, she will observe the ceremonies privately.
A Palace spokesperson stated that while disappointing, Her Majesty hopes to resume duties next week. This follows her recent cancellations due to a seasonal chest infection.
Despite her absence, the Royal Family, including the King and Princess of Wales, will attend key events such as the Royal British Legion Festival and the Cenotaph ceremony.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer wished the Queen a speedy recovery, while the King and Camilla recently concluded a demanding overseas tour. The King will uphold tradition by laying a wreath at the Cenotaph, honoring fallen servicemen and women.
The Festival of Remembrance will pay tribute to soldiers from past and recent conflicts, with the Royal Family leading the nation in honoring heroes.
