Queen Camilla<\/a> is not attending the funeral of Katharine, the Duchess of Kent, as she is recovering from acute sinusitis.<\/p>\n

“With great regret, Her Majesty The Queen has withdrawn from attendance at this afternoon\u2019s Requiem Mass for The Duchess of Kent <\/a>as she is recovering from acute sinusitis,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “Her thoughts and prayers will be with The Duke of Kent and all the family.”<\/p>\n

The Queen had traveled down from Scotland this morning to honor Katharine \u2014 who died earlier this month at the age of 92 \u2014 and is currently resting at Windsor. King Charles and other senior royals attended the funeral at Westminster Cathedral.<\/p>\n
