In a sad update from Buckingham Palace, it has been confirmed that the Queen will sadly miss this weekend’s important Remembrance Day events due to her illness.
Her Majesty, told by her doctors to avoid public gatherings for a complete recovery, will observe the solemn ceremonies from her private rooms.
The Palace spokesperson said: “Following doctors’ advice to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection and to protect others from any possible risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend’s Remembrance events.
“While this is very disappointing for The Queen, she will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties early next week.”
This announcement comes after earlier news that the Queen had to cancel her plans earlier this week because of the infection.
Even though she won’t be there physically, the spirit of the event remains strong with the Royal Family still taking part actively.
The King and Princess of Wales, both having faced their own health issues are confirmed to attend these events.
This includes the serious Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall and also at Cenotaph.
The importance of this weekend is clear for both citizens and leaders. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer shared his well-wishes on social media saying: “On behalf of everyone in our country I wish Her Majesty The Queen a quick recovery.”In meantime recently King and Camilla finished up an exhausting tour traveling over 30 thousand miles in just eleven days showing their dedication despite personal health struggles.
Their trip included a short stay at Soukya resort in Bangalore known for its healing wellness programs which was suggested as part of King’s health plan.
As Remembrance Day nears, people get ready to honor heroes with Royal Family leading these tributes.
The King plans on laying down a wreath at Cenotaph continuing an old tradition honoring fallen servicemen & women with design inspired by his ancestors like King George VI & Queen Elizabeth II.
This year’s Festival of Remembrance isn’t just about brave soldiers from World War II but also those involved in recent conflicts like Kosovo & Afghanistan showing how strong respect for heroes is within our nation.
As The Queen watches from home her family stands in place embodying unity & strength that these ceremonies aim to reinforce.
