Queen positive for Covid-19, Buckingham Palace wants to be reassuring

“According to Buckingham Palace, the queen is only showing mild symptoms, and she continues to perform a few simple tasks”, reports, Sunday, February 20, Maëlys Septembre, correspondent for France Télévisions in London (United Kingdom). In the afternoon, the Sovereign would have “congratulated the British women’s curling team on their gold medal at the Beijing Olympics”.

The previous week, the Queen met her son, Prince Charles, “two days before he himself tested positive”, says the journalist. The news inevitably worries the British, “very attached to their 95-year-old sovereign, especially as she has been suffering from health problems lately”, says Maëlys Septembre. She would have confided a few days ago to have difficulty moving. Despite all this, the queen is triple vaccinated, “and Buckingham Palace assures her, she is being followed very closely by her doctors”, concludes the journalist.
