Queen is “conscious of her frailties” and has “good and bad days”

According to a royal insider, the Queen has “good days and bad days” and is now “conscious of her frailties.”

According to palace sources, the 95-year-old monarch’s mobility has deteriorated in recent months, leaving her “on certain days” unable to walk around.

Her Majesty reluctantly announced on Friday that she would be skipping today’s Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.

The service, the first in-person gathering in two years owing to the pandemic, commemorates the 54 Commonwealth nations, a date she has marked in her calendar for months.

The choice was made with her most trusted advisers to ensure her comfort while travelling the 26-mile journey from Windsor Castle to London and sitting through the ceremony, rather than due to a specific sickness.

A royal source said: “The Queen is very aware that with the passage of time must come an awareness of one’s own frailties and we are very much in that moment.

“The Queen is still utterly determined to serve to the maximum extent that she can and the renewal of her vow, dedicating her life service, is one that Her Majesty takes incredibly seriously.”
