Queen Camilla’s outing is “subject to medical advice” as the royal continues to recover from an infection, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
Camilla, who announced earlier this week that she is battling a chest infection, has not yet confirmed her attendance at the forthcoming Remembrance events.
In a statement, the Palace said: “His Majesty The King and Members of the Royal Family will attend engagements to mark Remembrance in 2024.
“The Queen’s attendance at Remembrance events will be subject to medical advice nearer the time.”

The Queen, 77, missed the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday, where she was represented by the Duchess of Gloucester.
She returned to the UK last week after a trip with the King to Australia and Samoa, which included a stopover in India on the way back.
Doctors have advised a short period of rest at home, but she hopes to be well enough to attend Remembrance events at the weekend.
The Remembrance events will include the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday and the commemorative service on Sunday morning at the Cenotaph in Whitehall.

The Queen also missed a Buckingham Palace reception for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, which was hosted by King Charles on Thursday evening.
Despite Camilla’s attendance on Remembrance Sunday remaining unclear, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Princess Kate will be present.
Kate was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year and underwent a course of preventative chemotherapy, leading her to retreat from public life.
In a statement, the Palace said: “Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
