There are growing fears among palace officials that the Queen may be forced to cancel Prince Philip’s thanksgiving service due to lack of mobility.
London – There has been a rumble in the corridors of Windsor Castle since the Queen (95) asked her son Prince Charles to attend the Commonwealth service in Westminster Abbey instead of her. She is not fit enough. The monarch still “hopes” to be able to attend the service for Prince Philip (99, † 2021) in the compartment on March 29.
But her limited mobility might put a spanner in the works.*
It’s easy to forget that the British leader turns 96 next month. However, the monarch has reportedly not been able to walk her beloved corgis for six months. And these are by no means the only worries Queen Elizabeth II* – undoubtedly gifted with a robust nature – has had to deal with lately.
The exceptional regent recovered quickly from a corona infection * and was already moving happily across the grounds of Windsor Castle without a walking stick. Neither Prince Andrew’s (62) comparison in the abuse scandal*, nor the constant friction with Prince Harry* (37) let her lose her great sense of humor*. She has already granted an audience to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (50) and yes, she looked fit, but also fragile.
So it’s no wonder that plans are being worked out to ensure that the Queen can comfortably attend the funeral service for Prince Philip*, the Duke of Edinburgh, her beloved husband, whom she once described as “my strength and support”. . The service is an affair of the heart for her, since the pandemic only allowed 30 people to attend the funeral of the longest-serving prince consort *. It is an opportunity to commemorate his lifetime of merit.
Penny Junor (72), journalist and biographer, is full of praise for the Queen on “Dailymail”. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
