The more the jubilee passes, the more the concern grows on the side of the United Kingdom. The four days of celebration planned to celebrate the 70 years of reign of Elizabeth II could well be spoiled by the successive announcements from Buckingham Palace concerning the Sovereign. If the widow of prince Philip created the surprise by appearing on the balcony of the palace this Thursday, June 2 for Trooping the Color, the public has not seen her since. Elizabeth II, expected for mass this Friday, June 3, given in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, gave up showing up after feeling “discomfort” the day before. And this is unfortunately not the only event of the weekend on which it will skip.
This Saturday, June 4, Elizabeth II was to attend the Epsom derby, horse racing, a sport of which she is passionate. Eventually the event will happen without her. British media, including The Sun, have revealed that due to her fatigue, the Queen will be following the festivities, but from the television screen at home. Her daughter Anne is commissioned to represent her at the event. Elizabeth II will therefore not have the opportunity to climb the beautiful guard of honor that the jockeys who have already ridden her horses had planned to reserve for her.

The first meeting took place on June 3, Archie and the last born of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry having traveled from California with their parents for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The opportunity to tighten the slightly distended ties between the Sussex couple and the other members of the family. The thanksgiving mass was also the scene of an icy reunion between princes Harry and William. The two brothers did not speak a single word to each other and they hardly dared to look at each other. The serious faces of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also contrasted sharply with the astonishing relaxation of the Sussexes. Kate and William didn’t seem happy to find them, they were far from the only ones…
