Buckingham Palace has shared an emotional video of Queen Camilla who has been forced to pull out of her planned engagements this week after suffering a chest infection.

The meaningful video, shared by the royal family and two others, highlighted the 77-year-old Queen's work to end  domestic violence.

The Palace wrote along with the video: "The Queen has worked to amplify the voices of survivors of domestic and sexual violence stories for over ten years."

It added: "In the forthcoming ITV documentary ‘Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors’, you can learn more about Her Majesty’s work in this area, and the vital conversations which she is helping provide a platform for."

The video comes day after the palace revealed: "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."

The Queen missed this year's Field of Remembrance event at London's Westminster Abbey on Thursday which allows former service personnel and others to plant a poppy memorial to remember those who have lost their lives in the armed forces.
