Queen Elizabeth will be resting for the next few days, on the advice of her doctors. The 95-year-old queen was supposed to visit Northern Ireland today and tomorrow, but that is cancelled.
“The Queen has reluctantly accepted medical advice that she should rest for the next few days,” Buckingham Palace said.
According to the spokesperson, the British head of state is doing well and is disappointed that her visit to Northern Ireland cannot take place. “She greets the people of Northern Ireland and looks forward to visiting later.”
Yesterday, the Queen attended a reception at Windsor Castle in honor of the Global Investment Summit. There she spoke with British Prime Minister Johnson, among others.
Walking stick
Few announcements are made about the queen’s health. It is known that she has been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Last Tuesday, she was seen with a walking stick for the first time in years, while visiting Westminster Abbey. One of the last times she used a cane in public before that was in 2003, when she was recovering from knee surgery.
‘Oldie of the Year’
The Queen declined to receive an award this month if “Oldie of the Year‘, a fun prize that is awarded annually.
“The Queen thinks you are as old as you feel and therefore does not think she meets the conditions,” one of her assistants said.
