More and more discreet since her operation, she appeared on Saturday February 5 in a few images filmed from one of her residences in Sandringham (England). Queen Elizabeth II celebrates the 70th anniversary of her reign this weekend. She gradually withdraws.
Even if the big festivities are not planned until June, Elizabeth II cut the cake for the 70th anniversary of her reign on Saturday February 5. She looked fine as, in recent weeks, the Queen has shown unusual discretion fueling questions about a phased withdrawal. She had mentioned the subject in her Christmas speech. The sovereign had given up on COP 26 in Glasgow in October following her hospitalization, for reasons kept secret.
In front of Buckingham Palace, the British have noticed the slowdown in the pace of its activities, without being surprised. The representation functions return to the new generation. But neither the weight of the years nor the pandemic make the queen want to abandon her post. “She wants to respect her 1947 commitment, before her accession to the throne: that of serving his country until the end of his life”concludes the correspondent Matthieu Boisseau.
