The Queen Consort has pulled out of a visit to a food charity in east London as she continues her recovery from COVID.

King Charles made the trip solo instead, meeting with staff and volunteers at The Felix Project.

Buckingham Palace has said Camilla had made an “excellent recovery”, but was taking time out ahead of a busy day of royal engagements on Thursday.

Camilla, 75, tested positive for COVID on 13 February for the second time, forcing her to miss a series of engagements.

She missed visits to Milton Keynes, Birmingham, and Telford last week and postponed a Clarence House literary reception, now due to take place on Thursday.

Despite this, a spokesperson said: “Her Majesty has made an excellent recovery from last week’s illness.

“However, to allow for additional preparation ahead of Thursday’s rescheduled literary reception and other commitments, Her Majesty will not be attending today’s Felix Project engagement.

“His Majesty’s diary remains unaffected.”
