Reason Queen Camilla was late in joining King Charles on tour exposed
Queen Camilla joined King Charles later than when his autumn tour began last week, and now we finally know why. The royal couple have been joyfully reunited in Antigua and Barbuda ahead of this year's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). Up until Saturday, Charles had been braving the first two legs of his Caribbean tour entirely solo, spending a busy five days navigating engagements across the Bahamas and Guyana.
TL;DR
- Queen Camilla joined King Charles in Antigua and Barbuda after initially delaying her arrival.
- Royal editor Emily Nash explained her absence was due to the intense Caribbean heat and the draining nature of long-haul travel.
- Camilla also has a well-documented fear of flying, which contributed to her skipping the initial legs of the tour.
- She will now join the King for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) events.
