Buckingham finally gives news of the queen. Tested positive for Covid-19 last Sunday, Elizabeth II only suffered from mild symptoms and had to continue with some official engagements that were not very tiring. But the palace has just announced, this Tuesday, February 22, 2022, that the 95-year-old sovereign will unfortunately not be able to keep her commitments scheduled for this day.
Quoting a press release from the palace, the journalist from DailyMail Rebecca English reported on Twitter that “Her Majesty is still suffering from a mild cold like Covid symptoms“and that she”has decided not to undertake its scheduled virtual engagements today“. However, the queen should continue “light duties” of an administrative order from her Windsor castle, where she lives full time, after leaving Buckingham and the bustle of London at the start of the pandemic. Although she is triple vaccinated, the sovereign’s state of health remains closely monitored by her doctors.
Did Elizabeth II contract the coronavirus after seeing her son Prince Charles? The Prince of Wales was indeed declared positive on February 10, 2 days after speaking with his mother. His wife Camilla was also forced to isolate herself after being tested positive in turn…
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 last week, in particular thanks to the monetary contribution of the sovereign.
