Another hit for the British royal family: another member has decided to step back from their royal duties for a bit. While Kate Middleton is in recovery from her abdominal surgery until around Eastertime, and King Charles III is dealing with his cancer diagnosis, quite a few royals have had to up the ante with their appearances. But now, it seems Queen Camilla is also taking a break from the spotlight.

According to her schedule viewed by The Times, the Queen won’t be doing any more public appearances until March 11 for Commonwealth Day. As of right now, it’s believed to be a small break, which royals typically do around the year, instead of a medical emergency like Kate and Charles are facing.

The Daily Mail via Independent reported that she’s allegedly “planning to spend a few days of private downtime with her family before jetting off on a private flight tomorrow.”

Now, you may be wondering: is Prince Wiliam going to have to step up his royal appearances even more, despite sources saying Kate has allegedly felt “abandoned” amid his rise in duties?

Nope! The same outlet reported that Charles’s siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, will step up for the numerous events happening in the next week. Anne has been dubbed the hardest-working royal for numerous years now, so adding more to her plate probably won’t phase her, and while Edward doesn’t do as much as Anne, he has stayed consistent with his support for the family.
