Queen Camilla greeted 'fellow bookworms' to her third literary festival apologising croakily: 'I'm sorry if my voice gives half-way through but as you can imagine I've been doing quite a lot of talking the last few days. I'll try to hang onto it.'
Her Majesty was forced to pull out of attending the Duchess of Kent's funeral service on Tuesday after suffering acute sinusitis, but managed to take part in this week's high-profile State Visit by President Trump.
Actress Celia Imrie also asked Camilla, 77, how she was feeling, particularly after the pageantry at Windsor.
'My voice, I think I've pushed it the last couple of days,' coughed Camilla.
'What else could you do? Well you had to,' Imrie said.
