The Queen Just Dropped A Bombshell About Feeling ‘Exhausted’ After Covid Battle—Get Well Soon!
April 12, 2022 by Maria Pierides
Although Queen Elizabeth II may have returned to face-to-face meetings just a few weeks after testing positive for COVID-19 and reportedly only experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms” in February earlier this year, the 95-year-old monarch, who is due to celebrate her 96th birthday later this month, revealed that the virus left her feeling “tired and exhausted.”
Her Majesty dropped the bombshell about her experience with the virus during a Zoom call with some members of staff and former patients at the Royal London Hospital, of which she is a patron, on Wednesday, April 6th, to mark the opening of its Queen Elizabeth Unit.
The Queen had a seemingly cheery disposition throughout the Zoom call – as well as a bright and cheery blue and yellow floral dress, which she teamed with an elegant pearl necklace – so her confession about her experience with the virus certainly came as a surprise to some viewers.
“It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn’t it?” The Queen confessed, while speaking to former COVID patient Asef Hussain and his wife Shamina, who detailed their own devastating experiences with the virus. “This horrible pandemic. It’s not a nice result,” Her Majesty added. She also praised the NHS staff for everything they did throughout the pandemic, calling their work “splendid.”
