Queen Camilla's duty of representation
Prince William wanted to be there for his family and canceled his appointments. Now the duty of representation falls mainly on Queen Camilla. She is expected to continue attending appointments and appearing in public over the next few weeks.

What's more, the UK is still not particularly well-disposed towards their new Queen. The affair during Charles' marriage to Diana continues to be held against her by many of her compatriots.
