The Queen Consort Camilla has been forced to postpone a visit to the West Midlands on Tuesday after contracting a "seasonal illness", Buckingham Palace has said in a statement.The 75 year old was set to carry out several engagements including celebrating the centenary of Elmhurst Ballet School and visiting Southwater One Library in Telford.

Camilla was also to have unveiled a stone for Telford Veterans’ Trail, as well as a plaque to commemorate the visit during the Valentine's Day trip on 14 February.

However the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, the King's representative, confirmed today (Monday 13) that the visit has been postponed.

According to the Shropshire Star, Lord Lieutenant Anna Turner, said: "Sadly the visit has been delayed because Her Majesty’s doctor has advised against making any visits tomorrow due to illness. "Although disappointing we wouldn’t want her to make a visit when she was under the weather, and we had a full programme of groups and charities to meet." Camilla was due to visit Elmhurst Ballet School in Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Tuesday, to celebrate its centenary, and later that day a library in Telford to thank staff and representatives from outreach and voluntary groups for their contribution to the community.
