The Royal Household has been dealing with many health challenges, under which the Queen’s health has been reported to have deteriorated.
UK Royal Health News: Sombre concerns are looming over the British royal household. While recent public celebrations have brought brief moments of unity and joy, reports suggest that behind the grandeur of palace walls, Queen Camilla’s health is becoming a growing cause for concern. This development adds a new layer of tension to a family already under immense strain due to King Charles’ ongoing battle with cancer.
Although King Charles’ cancer diagnosis has dominated headlines over the past year, far less attention has been paid to Queen Camilla who, sources say, is quietly grappling with persistent health issues of her own, all while shouldering the emotional and public pressures of royal life.
Royal Health Crisis Deepens: King Charles and Queen Camilla Under Medical Supervision
Several inside sources have revealed that Queen Camilla’s declining health has become increasingly apparent within private circles, even though she continues to maintain a steady presence at public royal events.
A source who has insider knowledge of the family said that the Queen is “on her last legs,” and she is battling multiple diseases that hinder her mobility. She has been seen wearing specially made footwear that is designed to hide visible deformities in her feet, which includes bunion growths that have made walking difficult for her. Despite the intervention in her case from specialists, Queen Camilla is said to resist surgical or medical help, opting for treatments that help her ease symptoms without dramatically changing her public schedule.
Many of the royal insiders have also signalled that an alarm is sounding that she may soon be requiring the use of a wheelchair, which is something she is reluctant to accept due to her idea of not appearing vulnerable in the public eye.
A Discreet Liver Surgery?
The Palace, which consistently follows the royal protocol, has not yet opened up about the full extent of her medical challenges. But still, it is known that Camilla had undergone a secret liver-related surgery in the past, which has been linked to her history of alcohol consumption.
Besides all this, she had recently been diagnosed with pneumonia, which is known to significantly disrupt her schedule in late 2024. After a strenuous overseas tour to Australia and Samoa, she came back home with what was first thought to be a seasonal chest infection, but it was later confirmed to be a viral pneumonia.
For the treatment the hospitalisation wasn’t necessary, but the illness had left her fatigued and coughing for weeks. Her doctors had asked her for rest, which then had resulted in the cancellation of various high-profile appearances that included the Royal Variety Performance and Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Even after she recovered from the pneumonia, she still continued to experience post-viral fatigue and lethargy, which ultimately became the condition that pushed her to limit her public engagements and not go out much in public.
Her team is on its toes and has since been cautious about reintroducing her to complete royal duties, while ensuring that she has enough time to recover while still fulfilling essential commitments. The mental and emotional toll of King Charles’ illness is also believed to be one of the reasons that has affected her health, specifically as she tries to maintain composure and carry the burden of her additional royal responsibilities.
King Charles Continues To Face Health Issues
Talking about King Charles, his diagnosis remains a source of national and international concern. It was confirmed in February 2024 by Buckingham Palace where it told that he had been diagnosed with cancer and was now undergoing a routine hospital visit for prostate issues. It has not yet been disclosed which type or form of the specific cancer he has been suffering from, but the officials made the public aware that it is not prostate cancer. The King has reflected a sense of transparency and has chosen to share his diagnosis with the aim of encouraging public dialogue and eliminating stigma around the disease.
Despite the ongoing treatment, King Charles has reflected unparalleled dedication towards his role. While according to the sources, his cancer is reportedly incurable, experts have said that it is manageable with extreme care.
Royal commentator Camilla Tominey has suggested that the King is likely to “live with” the condition rather than succumb to it, and the plans and procedures are already underway for his 80th birthday celebrations in 2028.
In a spirit that may signal a rebound, there has been news and speculation that King Charles might appear alongside Prince Harry during the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. Such a move would not only reflect his dedication towards his family unity but may help to soften public perception during a time when the monarchy faces unprecedented personal and institutional challenges from the public.
