In light of the lack of public information regarding the health of King Charles and Princess Catherine, rumors and speculation about Britain’s royal family have intensified, as Queen Camilla is reportedly taking a week off from her duties.
The Sunday Times first reported on Saturday that Camilla had cleared her schedule for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on March 11th.
According to The Times, Camilla will take a break to spend some time with the King and her family after leading the royal family in 13 public engagements since King Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis on February 5th.
Some royal commentators speculate that the King’s health must be improving as a result of Camilla’s absence, while others have questioned the timing and implications, given that other senior members of the royal family have been required to step aside.
On X, which was previously Twitter, the hashtag #WheresKate and the term “Kate Middleton” took off. Many of the posts were satirical, but the theme was the same: why has Catherine not been seen or heard from by the public? Some joked that the Princess was growing out her bangs, while others wondered if she was still recovering from plastic surgery or if her marriage was in trouble.
