78 year old Camilla had been due to join the King at the Catholic service at Westminster Cathedral this afternoon.
It’s understood she’s hopeful that she’ll have recovered enough to attend the royal elements of Donald Trump’s state visit.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who have paid warm tributes to the music-loving duchess, were among the mourners at the Requiem Mass, alongside the Duke of Kent and their three children.
It was the first Catholic funeral for a member of the Royal Family in modern times and a message from Pope Leo was read out during the service.
The Duchess was probably most well known publicly for her ties to Wimbledon.
Katharine accepted honorary membership of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 1962, marking the beginning of a decades-long association with Wimbledon.
She was a familiar figure at the championships, presenting the Ladies’ Singles Trophy from 1976 to 2001, with only three exceptions.
