A little over a week after the announcement of her positive coronavirus test, Elizabeth II seems to be doing better. If we believe the information of the journalist of the DailyMail Rebecca English, published on the evening of February 27, the queen was even able to enjoy a small family reunion this weekend, on the Windsor estate. Something to reassure across the Channel, as to the state of health of the 95-year-old sovereign.
Her Sunday afternoon, Elizabeth II spent her surrounded by her family. In good enough shape, the queen left her Windsor castle to find some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren not far from there, in Frogmore: Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis (8, 6 and 3 years old) were present, as were Princess Beatrice, her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and their baby Sienna (5 months). There is no doubt that this reunion must have delighted the queen, after several days spent isolated in Windsor.
On Sunday, however, Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and their son August (1 year) were certainly absent from their Frogmore Cottage, since they recently left for California to find Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their two young children there. , Archie and Lilibet.
The presence in Windsor of Prince William and Kate Middleton revives rumors about their plan to settle there with their children. Followers of country life, the Cambridges would indeed plan to leave Kensington and London to get closer to the royal family, but also to the Middleton family, based in Berkshire.
An emotional start to the year
After contracting Covid-19, Elizabeth had been forced to postpone several scheduled engagements from Windsor, including virtual hearings. These last-minute postponements had not failed to worry his subjects. Triple vaccinated, the queen finally appears to be recovering after experiencing mild symptoms, as Buckingham had specified.
This beginning of the year is definitely rich in emotion for Elizabeth II. If the Briton had the joy of starting the celebrations of her platinum jubilee for her 70 years of reign, which will continue with great fanfare at the beginning of June, she also had to manage the legal disputes of her son Prince Andrew, accused of sexual assault on a minor across the Atlantic. Finally, a financial agreement was reached two weeks ago, in particular thanks to the monetary contribution of the sovereign.
