But others rallied around the royal, with one stating: "Could it be that they thought she had a cold and until they had taken a test, it wasn't thought to be COVID ? Just a thought."

A second added: "Cough, cold, sniffles, high temperature. Symptoms of seasonal illness…also symptoms of covid. However, I'm guessing she hadn't tested for covid when the first release went out, and she had to cancel today's appointments. Likely did think it was a winter cold!"

The Queen Consort was handed a note by eight-year-old Charlotte-Rose Hickson, who has requested a playdate with the Prince and Princess of Wales's daughter, Princess Charlotte.
