Queen Elizabeth II’s Health Concerns Heighten Amid Cancelled Engagements
The Queen’s health has become a major concern as she has postponed several engagements since testing positive for Covid-19 last month.
Royal sources have opened up about the Queen’s worrying spat of cancelled engagements, revealing the reason why the proud monarch is pulling back.
According to reports, the Queen is pacing her diary amid health fears that she can’t stand for long periods of time.
Sources close to Buckingham Palace have accepted that the frailties that come with living a long life are finally catching up with her.
One source told The Telegraph, “it’s about pacing her diary now.
She has said herself that she is as committed to service as ever, but that will have to take a slightly different form.”
British actor Christopher Biggins has also revealed that the Queen has been using a wheelchair recently and is cancelling engagements because she is proud and doesn’t want to be seen struggling with her mobility.

Speaking on GB News, Biggins said, “I have heard that the reason she’s not doing a lot of the events that she should be doing and cancelling them is because she is in a wheelchair.
She doesn’t want that to be seen.
She’s very proud.
She’s our greatest ever monarch.
It’s so very sad, and I hope she is able to make her anniversary celebrations.”
Royal expert Phil Dampier has claimed that the Queen is finding it extremely difficult to walk or stand for long periods.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said, “she will make a huge effort to attend the Prince Philip Memorial, but they will have to make allowances for her, and no one will begrudge it.
She’s nearly 96.”
Military-style plans are reportedly being put into place by senior Buckingham Palace aides aimed at getting the Queen to Prince Philip’s memorial service on March 29.
The 95-year-old monarch pulled out of the Commonwealth Day service last week amid fears for her comfort.
Palace sources have revealed that the Queen has reportedly suffered mobility issues, leaving her on certain days struggling to get about.
Despite her health concerns, the Queen is determined to attend the Duke of Edinburgh’s Thanksgiving, and officials are exploring a range of options to get her to Westminster Abbey.
The Sun on Sunday understands senior staff will arrange to fly Her Majesty by helicopter on a 15-minute trip from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace.
Although the Queen was seen on her feet at face-to-face engagements at Windsor last week, her aides are not happy with her walking around 100 metres from the Abbey entrance through the nave and choir to get her to her seat.
Instead, they want to drive her the short distance from the palace and seal off the entire Dean’s Yard to the west of the Abbey so they can park in private outside a side door.
