The royal, 74, contracted the illness last month just days after her husband, Prince Charles tested positive for the second time. As she met with rowers Kat Cordiner, 41, Abby Johnston, 32, and Charlotte Irving, 32, the Duchess admitted that she was still struggling to "shake off" her battle with coronavirus nearly a month after it was confirmed she had caught it.

Camilla was hosting the three rowers, who had broken the transatlantic record, at Clarence House for an International Women's Day event.
The trio rowed across the Atlantic in 42 days, seven hours and 17 minutes back in January and raised money for Macmillan, Cancer Research UK and Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Kat is suffering from cervical cancer.

In December, Charles and Camilla confirmed that they had had their booster injections as they urged members of the public to do the same.

"People who are unvaccinated are at least 10 times more likely to be hospitalised or die than those who have had two vaccine doses."
The Queen also came down with the illness, and had to cancel numerous in-person events, but on Monday she began hosting again, welcoming Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
