She did leave a tour once. The POW went on a tour of Japan, Brunei, and Indonesia. She skipped Indonesia. I read that it was on the advice of her doctor, because of the climate, and because of her stomach issues. She returned, and did not go sailing on a yacht, but did solo engagements.
It was never intended that she would go to Indonesia, it has been announced prior to the trip that the PoW would carry out the Indonesian leg of the trip on his own. IMO, that is perfectly fine, she does not have to accompany Charles for every tour he undertakes. If I recollect correctly, the actual reason why Camilla did not go to Indonesia was never announced, some of the reasons you have listed were speculation in the press. As you rightly point out, she did not go off on a yatch, but was present for Rememberance Sunday in London. This was shortly followed by the 60th brithday celebrations for the PoW.
