Queen Elizabeth continues to battle back rumors of failing health as her staff admited on Monday, March 28, that the Queen may be unable to attend her husband Prince Philip’s memorial service due to a struggle with walking and other mobility issues.
As she is ''struggling" to return to her normal routine, rumors of ill health continue to follow the Queen after she missed the Commonwealth Day ceremony on March 14, and as she might have to miss her husband Prince Philip’s memorial on Tuesday, many are concerned about the Queen’s state of health, according to Marie Claire.
“The Queen is extraordinary. She has gone on with great vigor for years, but we have to remember she is 95 and not superhuman,” Penny Junor, a royal biographer, said. “In other respects, she is on great form. The Queen is fantastic on Zoom calls, but I think events where she is required to walk or go up any steps are not going to be feasible anymore.”
This comes as many in the royal circle admit that the Queen herself has been unable to walk for long periods of time. She has recently even been given a luxury golf buggy so that she can easily go around Windsor Castle with her pet dogs, with her staff saying that the vehicle has been helpful in alleviating her pain, Yahoo! News reported.
“The cart arrived in the last fortnight. She and her aides have already used it,” the source said. “Her Majesty is struggling with stiffness in her legs, so the cart is a perfect solution to getting her around.”
A royal source has confirmed that they will be expecting more last-minute non-attendance of the Queen to events scheduled on her calendar as she continues to recover her health and condition, though making sure to point out that other members of the royal family will be at her place in times like that.
“All events now will be scheduled so that if Her Majesty is unable to attend at short notice, another member of the royal family will still be present,” the source said.
