The queen does not want to be seen in a wheelchair
Fears that the British queen may not take part in the platinum anniversary celebrations have risen after Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday that Elizabeth II would not attend traditional garden parties. They were to be rebuilt next Wednesday after a 3-year hiatus due to the pandemic and to prepare for the grand celebrations of the 1970s in early June.
However, the 96-year-old queen is experiencing more and more serious mobility problems after contracting COVID in late February. This virus makes you feel very tired and completely devastated, right, she said in a video interview with medics in April. She then managed to attend only a memorial service for her late husband, Prince Philip. She arrived at the church with a cane and supported by her son Prince Andrew. It was reported that it was then transported from Windsor Castle to Westminster Abbey as a military operation to ensure that it would not last more than 45 minutes and would be excessively exhausting.
Sources from the palace say that the queen’s medical team is doing everything possible to ensure that she will be able to take part in some of the celebrations for the platinum anniversary, but the chances are not great. The idea of Elizabeth II being in a wheelchair or other means of transport for the elderly was flatly rejected. Not just because of that
can undermine her image of strong monarch,
but because her late sister Princess Margaret had to move in the same way for the last six months of her life. “It’s an image that haunts you, and it’s hardly something the queen likes to remember,” a royal source told the Daily Mail.
The first garden party is to take place next Wednesday at Buckingham Palace, and later there will be three more at other residences of the royal family. About 30,000 people have been invited and rewarded for their contributions to the development of British society, and this is considered one of Her Majesty’s favorite duties. It is not yet clear which members of the royal family will overthrow her in this task, as well as how they will distribute their roles during the 4-day platinum celebrations for Elizabeth II.

A grand concert with the biggest British stars is planned in front of Buckingham Palace, and tradition dictates that the Queen and other members of the royal family greet those who come from its balcony. However, whether Elizabeth II will be able to do so, or her team will come up with some non-standard means to get online, has not yet been announced. Since the pandemic began, the Queen has moved to Windsor Castle outside the British capital. Her husband, Prince Philip, died there a year ago, and she wished to remain near his grave. Royal sources claim that her grandson Prince William and his family also plan to move from London to Windsor to be close to her.
