Sprained back The 95-year-old Queen continues to be absent from public appearances

According to the "Grand Public Network" report, Buckingham Palace announced on the 14th that due to a sprained back, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom will cancel the schedule of attending the National Memorial Day on the same day. The Queen was suddenly hospitalized for one night last month and was advised by doctors to take a break, and the 14th commemoration was supposed to be the first public appearance plan after her hospitalization.

Buckingham Palace reportedly issued a statement on November 14 saying the Queen was deeply disappointed to miss the commemoration at London's Peace Monument that day. A Buckingham Palace source said the Queen's back sprain was not related to the condition that led to her hospitalisation last month and was merely an "unfortunate coincidence".

The 95-year-old Queen went to the hospital on October 20 for a "preliminary examination" and spent the night in the hospital. Since her hospitalization, she has been absent from the UN climate conference, commemorative events at Albert Hall, etc., and now the cancellation of public appearance plans again will make the outside world more worried about her health.

Britain's Memorial Day, which falls on November 11 every year, commemorates soldiers and civilians who died in World War I, World War II and other wars; the main commemoration takes place on its most recent Sunday, which is known as "Memorial Sunday". Traditionally, members of the royal family, government and military dignitaries will participate in the event along with veterans.

The annual commemoration of the National Memorial Day, dressed in black and wearing red flowers, has become one of the iconic images of Elizabeth II since her 69 years on the throne. Before that, she had missed only 6 National Day, four times because she was performing royal duties overseas and two times because she was pregnant.
