Queen Camilla is returning to public duties on Tuesday after a chest infection, although with some changes to her schedule.

The Queen, who is 77, cancelled a number of engagements a week ago after doctors advised her to rest, and missed Remembrance Sunday events at the weekend.

She will attend events in London this week but for shorter periods than originally planned.

And she will miss the premiere for Gladiator II on Wednesday evening.

It is understood there is no cause for alarm - and her plans are being adjusted to avoid any setback after recovering from a bug.

The Queen will attend a Booker Prize reception at Clarence House on Tuesday, but will meet guests for a shorter period than planned.

She will also still attend a Palace reception with the King on Wednesday to celebrate the TV and film industry, but is not expected to be present for the whole event.
