Queen Elizabeth ‘hopes’ to attend Prince Philip’s memorial service

Queen Elizabeth has “ruled out” using a wheelchair and “still wants” to attend Prince Philip’s funeral service, but advisors are scrutinizing her schedule.

It comes after Buckingham Palace stated that she was unable to attend the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey due to her health.

Palace officials were concerned about how “comfortable” she would be traveling from Windsor to London and spending up to an hour at the event.

The 95-year-old monarch is not unwell, according to sources, and is “as dedicated to her duties of state as ever.”

Senior royal advisers, on the other hand, are said to have recognized that Her Majesty’s age has caught up with her.

According to the Daily Mail, a source said: “The Queen is still as alert, able and interested as ever but, physically, she isn’t as strong as she once was, which is entirely understandable for a woman of her age.”

They continued: “The Royal Family understands the important role investitures play in recognizing service and celebrating people’s contribution to society and there has been a real drive to catch up on the backlog created by Covid restrictions.

“The Prince of Wales, Princess Royal, and Duke of Cambridge have been leading the charge. It’s easy to envisage that they will continue in that vein but I wouldn’t rule out Her Majesty doing smaller or one-off investitures.”

Due to her weakness, the Queen has also been unable to walk her beloved corgis. She hasn’t been able to take them out to Windsor Castle in six months, and it’s possible she won’t be able to do so again.

March 29, a memorial ceremony for Prince Philip will be held at Westminster Abbey.
