Buckingham Palace releases important updates on The Queen’s health

By
29th October 2021

The Queen has been told by doctors to rest for at least another two weeks.

Her Majesty will only take on what’s being described as ”light, desk based duties” including virtual audiences. However, she will not take part in any face to face engagements.

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that The Queen will miss the Festival of Remembrance on November 13th 2021 but plans to go to the Cenotaph on November 14th where she will watch the National Act of Remembrance from a balcony overseeing Whitehall.

The Queen, 95, was first told to rest by doctors as she prepared to fly to Northern Ireland earlier in October and it was later revealed she had spent a night in hospital for ”preliminary investigations”.

Her last public appearance came in a virtual audience on October 28th 2021 where she looked well and happy.
