Queen Elizabeth II cancels more meetings, still suffering from COVID-19

The UK’s Queen Elizabeth II postponed two virtual meetings, as she is still suffering from symptoms of COVID-19, Buckingham Palace announced on February 24.

This is the second time the 95-year-old Queen canceled virtual meetings due to the virus, AP reports.

Officials and the public have been concerned about the British monarch’s age (95), COVID-19 diagnosis, and a recent health scare.

In the wake of her positive COVID-19 test over the weekend, politicians from across the political spectrum offered their best wishes for her recovery, the same reports.

The Buckingham Palace announced on Sunday that the Queen will continue to serve her “light” duties at Windsor Castle following her vaccination and booster shot.

As Queen Elizabeth marks 70 years on the throne and celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, the UK’s longest-reigning monarch will take part in a variety of engagements, reports AP.

The queen is expected to host a reception at Windsor Palace on March 2 where she is expected to meet hundreds of diplomats.

Her next engagements will be a Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 14, and then a memorial service at Westminster Abbey for her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last April at age 99.
