Does Queen Camilla smoke? She makes candid admission after her recovery from a chest infection; here's what she said

Following her return to work after a chest infection, Queen Camilla came clean about her smoking habits. A chest infection forced Queen Camilla to postpone a week of royal engagements, including two significant Remembrance Day engagements, which has made November difficult for her thus far.

The Queen, however, revealed a bit about her alleged smoking habit with one movie star on Wednesday, Nov. 13, when she resumed her duties, as quoted in a report by Marie Claire.

During a star-studded reception at Buckingham Palace, Camilla joined King Charles, the patron of the Film and TV Charity, and she had an open conversation with Emily Mortimer, who starred in Paddington in Peru.

After the actress stated that Penny sends her love, Camilla enquired about Emily's mother's health. The Queen is acquainted with Emily's mother, Penelope. The Queen was asked about her smoking habits, and Mortimer replied that she had quit 20 years ago.

This is not the first time the Queen's smoking habit has been mentioned, as her son, Tom Parker Bowles, revealed that she was probably the first-ever queen to cook her own meals in a recent interview.

The Queen and King also chatted with actor Damian Lewis, who plays a king in the Tudor series Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light, which will premiere on PBS in 2025. While discussing King Henry VIII, Lewis told Charles that Camilla could claim not to be related to him.
