It is reported that the Queen will return to public duties today following a bout of illness, but will miss the Gladiator II premiere in order to aid her recovery, a royal source told the Press Association.

Last week, the palace confirmed that the Queen would have to cancel her engagements over the weekend after she had fallen ill with a chest infection.

A statement explained: "Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest.

"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.

"She apologises to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result."

Camilla, 77, was scheduled to attend the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday, but was replaced by the Duchess of Gloucester.

She also had to pull out of a Buckingham Palace reception - hosted by The King - for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, which will take place the same evening.
