The source of the contamination may also have come from another source. For example, Elizabeth celebrated her 70th anniversary in government two weeks ago. At her Sandringham estate, she received several people for a reception at the time. It was only the first time she went public this year.
The Queen then left for Windsor, where she is said to have received her son Prince Charles on February 8. Two days later he tested positive. Last week, Charles’ wife Camilla was also found to be infected with corona. Buckingham Palace has been silent in the meantime about whether the Queen also contracted the virus.
Doctor’s Advice
The 95-year-old Elizabeth received another visitor to Windsor last week. She welcomed Major General Eldon Millar. During the visit she was not wearing a mask and she also shook hands.
During the entire pandemic, Elizabeth managed to keep corona out. In addition, she took it easy on doctor’s advice for the past few months. In October she spent a night in hospital and in November she missed Remembrance Sunday due to back problems. Since last autumn, the queen has also appeared in public with a walking stick.
Whatever the case, Queen Elizabeth’s positive corona test has caused mixed reactions in Great Britain. According to royalty reporters and royal biographers, there are minor concerns, but it is believed the 95-year-old queen is unlikely to become seriously ill from her three vaccinations.
‘Complete rest’
Robert Jobson, author of William: The Making of a Modern Monarchexactly opposite The Mirror indicated that the royal diary would have been emptied if it were serious. Catherine, Duke of Cambridge, is going to Copenhagen on Tuesday. “What worries me, however, is that the Queen continues to do ‘light duties’. I think, given her advanced age, she should take a full rest and leave the work to the family,” he says. The biographer suspects that Prince Charles and the family will indeed be worried.
Royalty reporter Alastair Bruce says there are always concerns when someone gets corona in old age. “But she has a lot of energy and is very fit. The queen is well taken care of. She’s a fighter,” he tells the Daily Mail†
Get well wishes
Joe Little, reporter at Majesty Magazine, thinks Elizabeth will be sober and the people around her may be a little less so. “They will be watching her closely for the next few days and, if all goes well, it looks like it will end up being just a minor inconvenience.”
Meanwhile, it is raining get well wishes for the queen on social media. Many hope she makes a speedy recovery. Among them Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said on Twitter that he was sure to speak on behalf of everyone with his health wishes to the Queen.
