Now the wife of King Charles, 74, is again canceling an appearance at short notice. Your visit to Newmarket, UK, falls victim to the weather.

Camilla was scheduled to visit the British Racing School to celebrate its 40th anniversary and unveil the Belvoir Huntsman’s painting, John Holliday, at the British Sporting Art Trust, a non-profit organization in Newmarket.
The weather throws a spanner in the works for Camilla
Road, rail and air travel has been severely impacted in recent days due to increased snow, rain and ice in the UK. The Independent reports that snowstorms have been forecast for Thursday across much of England and Wales after the lowest March temperatures in more than a decade were recorded overnight. So it’s no wonder that the 75-year-old doesn’t want to be exposed to these weather conditions – whether in a car, train or helicopter.
