Camilla sick, Sophie hits herself in the face, diminished Royals turn to....Duchess of Gloucester

Anyone got any healthy royals we can send to do Royal Stuff.  At this point we might have to ask Meghan to chip in!

Queen Camilla has withdrawn from all her scheduled engagements this week after being diagnosed with a chest infection, Buckingham Palace announced. The Duchess of Gloucester will stand in for Camilla at the Field of Remembrance ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Thursday, while King Charles will host a Buckingham Palace reception for Olympic and Paralympic athletes that same evening.
Birgitte, the 78 year old Duchess of Gloucester) is a Danish-born member of the British royal family married to Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, a grandson of King George V.  The incident is a good reminder that perhaps the Slimmed Down Monarchy could use a few extra bodies.

William is out of the country.  Kate is on a beak.  Harry, well, you know. And Meghan probably wouldn’t even visit the UK should a major tragedy strike and Harry wind up King.

Meanwhile, the B team’s Princess Beatrice gave a heartfelt speech at the ADIPEC Exhibition and Conference in Abu Dhabi about the importance of inclusivity in AI. Princess Eugenie was in Qatar, appearing radiant in a vibrant yellow ensemble.  The princess toured Doha’s M7 art center.

What about secret weapon Sophie Wessex you ask? 

The Duchess of Edinburgh had a bit of a mishap at Legoland Windsor while playing a round of minature golf. In an unexpected turn, the 59-year-old managed to hit herself in the face with her own ball, captured perfectly by photographer Tim Rooke. Sophie was seen wincing as the ball ricocheted off her club and came right back at her which is not at all funny so stop giggling.
