The following month, Kate Middleton announced she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy after doctors found cancer during a surgery, but in September, she announced she was cancer-free.
A new outlet reported that Beth had an untreatable tumor.
Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace revealed Camilla had to cancel one of her scheduled engagements due to illness.
"Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest," the representative stated. "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."
Camilla was supposed attend the annual opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on November 7, but Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester took her place.
