Queen Elizabeth II Returns to London After Spending Time in Windsor

Queen Elizabeth II, the 95-year-old monarch, has returned to London for the first time since October, according to reports.

After spending much of the previous year at Windsor Castle, the Queen allegedly paid a visit to the capital last week, which was her first since spending a night in the hospital in October.

Sources say that the Queen was spotted walking without her walking stick, indicating that she was back on her feet.

Although there are no specifics regarding the trip, one onlooker told The Sun that after the Queen was admitted to the hospital, everyone was scared sick.

So it was great to see her out and about, on her feet, and looking her best again.

Hopefully, getting back on her feet in London means she'll be back on the road soon.

This is such a boost ahead of Christmas, when everyone is so down in the dumps right now.

Since spending a night in the King Edward VII Hospital in West London on October 20th, the monarch has been on light duties and has been resting at Windsor Castle.

Her aides argued that her stay was for preliminary investigations and that the tests were only precautionary.

On doctor's advice, she had to cancel a two-day trip to Northern Ireland to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the division.

The Queen had been obliged to use a walking stick in public for the first time earlier this month at Westminster Abbey.

In addition, due to a back strain, she was unable to attend the COP26 climate change meeting in Glasgow in person, instead delivering a recorded message, and she also missed Remembrance Sunday commemorations.

News of the Queen's seemingly good health comes shortly after the monarch was forced to cancel her annual royal pre-Christmas lunch amid Covid-19 concerns.

The event was due to go ahead at Windsor Castle on Tuesday with around 50 guests, including the Queen's son Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

However, due to the rapid spread of Covid-19's new variant, the Queen was regrettably forced to cancel the gathering for the second year running.

Subsequently, the Queen's traditional trip to Sandringham for Christmas is also said to be under revision.

The monarch was due to travel to her Norfolk residence the day after the now-cancelled Christmas lunch, where she would then be joined by other members of the royal family on Christmas Eve.

The pre-Christmas celebration gives the head of state a chance to catch up with relatives who are unable to travel to Norfolk for Christmas Day.

The wider family is also usually invited, including the Queen's cousins the Gloucesters, the Duke of Kent and the Michaels of Kent.

This year is the Queen's first Christmas without her beloved husband, Prince Philip.

The Duke of Edinburgh died in April, months before his 100th birthday.

The Queen and Philip spent Christmas Day together at Windsor in 2020 without the rest of the family after spending most of the year with a reduced number of staff in what was dubbed HMS Bubble.
