Only two weeks ago, the Queen was seen with a walking stick, for the first time not for medical reasons. Then she even spent a night in a clinic. Now comes the next communication on the monarch’s health.
London – Queen Elizabeth II’s health continues to cause concern in the UK. The 95-year-old Queen would take the advice of her doctors for two more weeks and not take any trips, Buckingham Palace announced.
However, she is allowed to do “light” work at the desk. It is reported to be a precautionary measure. The Queen is the best of things.
While she canceled an event on November 13th, she wants to be there in person one day later, at the National Remembrance Sunday Memorial Service. This is their “firm intention”. Then Great Britain remembers the World War II soldiers from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations.
Recently, the communiqués on royal health increased. Surprisingly, the Queen showed up around two weeks ago at two appointments with a walking stick – for the first time not for medical reasons. Then the monarch canceled a trip to Northern Ireland.
The Queen even spent the night of October 22nd “for practical reasons” in the private King Edward VII Hospital, where she was for “preliminary examinations”. Then she took a break. The Queen also canceled the trip to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, but wants to send a video message.
Doctors’ recommendation
“Following her recent advice that the Queen should rest for a few days, Her Majesty’s doctors have recommended that she should continue to rest for at least the next two weeks,” the palace said. “Doctors have recommended that Her Majesty can continue to do light desk tasks during this time, including some virtual audiences, but not official visits.”
Elizabeth II has worked stoically through her royal schedule, which was already full again just a few weeks after the death of her husband Prince Philip in April, in the past few days. She received the new ambassadors from South Korea and Switzerland virtually. The Queen is considered extremely conscientious. According to visitors, she recently appeared fit.
She last spent a night in the hospital in 2013, when she suffered from gastrointestinal inflammation (gastroenteritis). Since she turned 90, she has stopped traveling overseas and has left the long-haul flights to other family members. dpa
