Queen Camilla, who is recovering from pneumonia, posed for photos with the Amir of Qatar alongside King Charles on Tuesday, Dec. 3, before the royal family hosted a state banquet for the guests of honor.

Queen Camilla is unable to attend the welcome ceremony for the Emir of Qatar’s state visit to the UK, leaving the King to host alongside the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.

The visiting Qatari royals were given a parade along the Mall, but Queen Camilla stayed away from the outdoor parts of the official welcome - as she revealed she had been suffering the side-effects of a form of pneumonia.

Queen Camilla is setting the record straight about her recent health struggles. Queen Camilla, who had been on reduced duties due to a chest infection, recently updated guests at Buckingham Palace about her health after reducing duties for the Qatar state visit.
