The statement from the Palace said: "Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest.

"With great regret, Her Majesty has therefore had to withdraw from her engagements for this week, but she very much hopes to be recovered in time to attend this weekend’s Remembrance events as normal."

Due to the Queen's illness, she will be missing the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday.

The Duchess of Gloucester will represent her at the event.

Back in February, King Charles was diagnosed with cancer after he underwent a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate in January.

The palace announced in a statement at the time: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.

"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual."

The Palace noted that King Charles does not have prostate cancer, but did not disclose what type of cancer he was diagnosed with.

The statement added: "The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."

It noted that the King shared his cancer diagnosis with the world to "prevent speculation" and "in the hope it may assist public understanding."

Just weeks after King Charles' announcement, Prince William's wife Princess Kate Middleton announced she was diagnosed with cancer after months of speculation.

Kate was diagnosed after she underwent major abdominal surgery in January and explained that she wanted to handle the matter privately for their three kids, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

In September, she shared in a video message that she had completed chemotherapy and is focused on staying "cancer-free" and getting back to work.

Kate also did not reveal what type of cancer she was diagnosed with.
