Dr Shola accuses Royal Family of ‘misleading’ public in bizarre Camilla illness conspiracy

But Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu has since tweeted: “Buckingham Palace must’ve known Camilla had Covid but instead of telling the truth, gaslit us with ‘seasonal illness” like we are stupid.

“There’s nothing seasonal about Covid so why lie. So unnecessary. If Royal Family can mislead on this, what else are they misleading us on?”

However, the Twitter post from Dr Shola has been met with a furious backlash from many royal fans.

“Gracie” (@Gracie_M1984) hit back: “Because maybe she hadn’t taken a test this morning when she felt ill with cold/flu symptoms. Then once she tested they announced it.

“Therefore when they announced a ‘seasonal illness’ at first, it was actually correct. This really isn’t a big deal, this is pathetic.”

Twitter user “SueCrows” (@adesigndiary) commented: “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.”

“Sierra” (@sosassysierra) wrote: “They announced she tested positive for Covid today already.”

Meanwhile “Ailsa” (@Me_only_me76) snapped back: “Gas lit? How is this gas lighting?”

On Thursday, the couple were scheduled to attend a reception at Milton Keynes to celebrate the metropolis being awarded city status as part of the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Buckingham Palace initially said Camilla was suffering from a “seasonal illness” and it was hoped she would be able to carry out the rest of the week’s engagements.

But later in the day, Buckingham Palace said the Queen Consort had tested positive for Covid after suffering from cold symptoms.

Camilla is said to be in good spirits and resting and disappointed at not being able to fulfil her engagements.

A spokesperson said: “After suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty The Queen Consort has tested positive for the Covid virus.

“With regret, she has therefore cancelled all her public engagements for this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who had been due to attend them.”

Early last year, the Queen Consort tested positive for Covid and had to cancel appearances at a number of events.

Princess Anne deputised for Camilla at the Cheltenham festival last March as she was easing her way back following her recovery from the illness.
