Queen Elizabeth II’s health is causing her to miss yet another appearance. ITV News royal editor Chris Ship was the first person to break the news that Queen Elizabeth will miss a previously scheduled engagement on May 10 due to ongoing health issues. “The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament,” the Palace said in a statement via Ship’s Twitter account. The statement continued, “At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read The Queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf, with The Duke of Cambridge also in attendance.”
According to Ship, this is a big moment for Queen Elizabeth’s son and grandson. “Prince Charles and Prince William (as Counsellors of State) will open this session of Parliament,” Ship wrote in the thread. Many fans flocked to the replies to leave well-wishes for the monarch. “It’s unfortunate, but I think we have to accept that the Queen’s mobility problem’s. May be a constant problem for future events,” one person wrote. “However she has done extremely well to carry on as long as she has. Best wishes to her.”
According to France 24, Elizabeth spent some time in the hospital in October 2021, which caused her to cancel a few appearances around that time. In November, People shared that Elizabeth missed the Remembrance Day ceremony in London due to a sprained back. We wish her well!
