Queen Elizabeth II shuts down all the negative health news about her with a sweet smile, albeit holding a walking stick. Rumors have it Her Majesty is now having problems with her mobility and can barely move.
Queen Elizabeth was seen giving a wide grin during an at-home viewing of handcrafted artifacts. Despite the health scare surrounding the 95-year-old monarch, she still looks in high spirits.
Express noted the said event was the queen's first official face-to-face engagement after more than seven weeks since her Platinum Jubilee reception at Sandringham Palace. She recently contracted COVID-19 and is thankfully doing fine now.
However, the latest statement from Buckingham Palace about Prince Philip's memorial service has made the public talking. The announcement raises fears over the Commonwealth leader's health.
Though it confirmed the service would be held at Westminster Abbey, almost a year after Prince Philip's demise on April 9, it didn't mention if Queen Elizabeth would be there.
It just said "members of the royal family," not mentioning the queen's name. Queen Elizabeth has been missing in action as of late.
She hasn't attended some of the biggest events on the royal calendar. She didn't participate in the Commonwealth Day service for the first time in a decade.
Royal observers claim the sovereign seems to be struggling with her mobility and may need the use of a wheelchair soon. However, the veteran reporter and author Phil Dampier told the UK's Telegraph, via 7News, said she would still make a huge effort to attend her late husband's memorial despite her case.
People behind the event have to make some allowances for her, knowing she's nearly 96. Alternatively, British actor Christopher Biggins said on "GB News" that Queen Elizabeth was already "confined to a wheelchair," which is said to be why she's canceling some major event appearances.
"She doesn't want to be seen, she's very proud," he added. "I hope she is able to make her anniversary celebrations."
So, to have Queen Elizabeth attend the memorial service "in comfort," there are suggestions that she may take a helicopter instead of traveling in a car.
She may also arrive before all the other guests come and be seated before everyone else. If not, they can use privacy shields or screens to hide Queen Elizabeth so that no one can he see her walking difficulties.
