The Mirror reported on March 12 that the Queen, who owned more than 30 corgis in her lifetime, has not taken her dog for a walk in Windsor Castle since she was hospitalized in October last year.
Queen Elizabeth II has not taken her dog for a walk at Windsor Castle for six months. According to the Queen's personal assistant, the Queen's body has now become so weak that she cannot walk her beloved corgi.
After Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen would not attend Monday's Commonwealth ceremony, claims of the Queen's ill health were rife, and court officials did not give a specific reason for her planned absence.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also canceled their attendance because the Duke tested positive for COVID-19.
According to the Sun, it was thought that the Queen's health might never recover well again and she would not be able to walk her dog. "They are a great spiritual comfort for the Queen, and now it can only be said that it is a pity!" The staff said.
It is reported that when the queen is facing a crisis and feeling pressure, she will take the corgi out for a walk. After Prince Philip fell ill and died last April, the Queen took them out almost every day.
Today, when the Queen is unable to be present, court assistants are taking her two corgis and Doges out for daily exercise.
Another senior royal source said: "Dogs are still a very important part of everyday life at Windsor Castle. ”
Previously, the Queen cancelled her appearance at the annual Commonwealth Day ceremony on Monday due to her mobility problems, and the British people were talking about the Queen's physical condition, coupled with the absence of the event.
It is understood that the 95-year-old female monarch has experienced increasing discomfort in her actions. On 20 February, the Queen tested positive for COVID-19 when officials reported that she had "mild cold-like symptoms".
Buckingham Palace said the Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) would be represented by Her Majesty the Queen at Monday's annual Commonwealth Day celebrations. Officials claim the decision is not related to any illness, but has to do with the comfort of the Queen's round-trip ceremony.
The head of state, who has just recovered from COVID-19, wants to join Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in commonwealth events.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace claimed the Queen had asked the Prince of Wales to represent Her Majesty the Queen at a Commonwealth ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The ceremony will be the first major public appearance after the Queen's term reaches Platinum Jubilee and the first full-blown Commonwealth Day ceremony since 2020.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Queen magazine, said: "It would be a huge blow if the Commonwealth Day ceremony was missed. These two days the queen is facing a dilemma, considering the physical condition and so on, she must choose and fulfill the agreement wisely. ”
But Seward believes the Queen will "resolutely" attend a Thanksgiving ceremony dedicated to her late husband, Prince Philip, at Westminster Abbey on March 29. Given that her husband's funeral was so curtailed, the Queen would have firmly attended the Duke of Edinburgh's Thanksgiving ceremony at the end of March, and the importance of this matter could not be doubted for the Queen.
Seward also added that Her Majesty the Queen was arrogant and very much like her mother. So even though she's old, she doesn't want to use a wheelchair and try her best to show off her head of state on major occasions.
Now that the queen's physical condition is getting worse, it is estimated that she will not be able to walk her dog for a long time. And the next event, I don't know if her old man will still attend. What do you think? Welcome to tell the translator in the comment area.
