Queen Camilla 'tired' after being ill with pneumonia

Queen Camila has told guests at a royal visit that she's still feeling the effects of having been ill with pneumonia.

It's led to her having to pull out of a number of events over recent weeks.

Even though the lung infection has now cleared, she says she is still feeling tired.

She has been advised by her doctors to take more time to recover.

At the start of November, Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Camilla had a chest infection.

The 77-year-old was forced to cancel a number of events so that she could rest at home.

She has now revealed that her chest infection was a form of pneumonia and that she is still suffering from tiredness due to the illness.

Pneumonia is the name given to the inflammation of the lungs which is usually caused by an infection such as flu, a cold or other viruses.

The news came as the Queen was at a visit from the Qatari royal family to the UK.

The visitors were given a private lunch at Buckingham Palace, to be followed by a visit to the Houses of Parliament and a state banquet on Tuesday evening.

Queen Camilla took part in the indoor bits of the events but didn't attend the outdoor parts of the welcoming ceremony.

Instead, Princess Catherine stepped in, alongside King Charles.
