On Commonwealth Day, Queen Elizabeth II wanted to appear in public for the first time in months next week. But now the cancellation is coming – and new concerns about the health of the queen.
It was supposed to be her first major public appearance in months – but now Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the Commonwealth Day service at Westminister Abbey next week. The 95-year-old asked her son Prince Charles to represent her, Buckingham Palace said on Friday in London. The announcement fueled new concerns about the health of the British monarch.
Commonwealth Day is a major holiday in Britain, with around 1,500 guests gathering at Westminister Abbey on Monday. The participation of the Queen should actually send a sign that the monarch is fit again after months of poor health. But now she is being represented by her 73-year-old son, heir to the throne Prince Charles. The palace did not give reasons for this decision.
Queen Elizabeth II recently had health problems again and again
Recently, the Queen has repeatedly had health problems. In October last year, she even had to spend a night in the hospital. Since then, she has rarely been seen in public – and when she did, she was often seen with a walking stick.
On February 20, Buckingham Palace announced that the 95-year-old had contracted the corona virus. However, she only suffered from “mild” cold-like symptoms and went into isolation.
At the beginning of this week, the Queen made an appointment not only online for the first time since the infection and received Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Windsor Castle. She appeared more frail than before, but did not use a walking stick.
