Get Well Soon! The Queen Missed Key Royal Family Event After Admitting To Suffering Covid ‘Exhaustion’

As expected, Queen Elizabeth II didn’t attend the traditional Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on Sunday, April 17th – the latest in a recent string of canceled official engagements – due to her ongoing problems with mobility. It’s assumed that the 95-year-old monarch – who turns 96 in just a few days – is also feeling the after-effects of COVID-19, after she tested positive for the virus for the first time back in February.
Less than two weeks ago, Her Majesty told the staff at the Royal London Hospital during the official opening of the Queen Elizabeth Unit that she had felt “tired and exhausted” since testing positive for the virus, despite the Palace initially suggesting that she was only experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms.” The Queen was last seen in public in Westminster Abbey on March 29th for the memorial of her late husband Prince Philip. The Easter Sunday service coincidentally fell on the first anniversary of Prince Philip’s funeral.
