What's next?
The Queen is hopeful to be recovered in time for Remembrance events this coming weekend, the spokesperson said.
Queen Camilla has been forced to pull out of her planned engagements this week after suffering a chest infection, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday.
Camilla, 77, is resting at home while she recovers but no further details of her illness have been given, as is usual with royal medical issues.
"Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest," a palace spokesperson said.
"With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend's Remembrance events as normal."
The illness means Camilla will miss this year's Field of Remembrance event at London's Westminster Abbey on Thursday, which allows former service personnel and others to plant a poppy memorial to remember those who have lost their lives in the armed forces.
"She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result," the palace spokesperson said.
Her place will be taken by the Duchess of Gloucester.
Camilla was in Australia last month for a royal tour with King Charles, before going to Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
The pair returned to the United Kingdom at the end of October following the 10-day trip.
The king himself is still undergoing treatment for cancer which was diagnosed back in February, forcing him to cut back on some of his engagements.
