The Queen Consort caught Covid early last year and had to cancel her appearance at a number of events in the aftermath of the illness.

The Princess Royal deputised for Camilla at the Cheltenham festival last March, as she was pacing herself after overcoming the virus. She also missed a Commonwealth event.

Now, the Queen Consort has been forced to postpone a visit to the West Midlands after contracting the illness. 

Camilla was due to visit Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham on Tuesday, as well as a library in Telford to thank staff and representatives from outreach and voluntary groups for their contribution to the community.
