Queen Elizabeth II has traveled to the abbey from Windsor Castle and accompanied by her son Andrés, the Duke of York, according to the BBC. It is also the first public appearance of Andrés since he signed an out-of-court agreement with the woman who accused him in the United States of having abused her when he was still a minor.

Elizabeth II, 95, has spent some turbulent months in terms of health. He has had problems with his mobility and was unable to attend the Commonwealth Day church service earlier this month. She also tested positive for covid-19 in February, an infection that caused concern given her advanced age and the downturn in her health late last year, when she spent a night in hospital.
