Queen Camilla is reportedly leaving the UK for a holiday after picking up 13 extra engagements on top of her own to help her husband King Charles, who is suffering from cancer.

Queen Camilla will be back in action on March 11 to represent King Charles at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, according to The Times, per GB News.
The insider told the publication, "Although she was not expecting to find herself in the position of leading the family, the Queen is absolutely prepared to do whatever needs to be done for the institution.
