Today is the first occasion that the Queen has been viewed – even on a screen. She hosted a busy evening reception at Windsor Castle for the global investment summit on October 19. (above).
This week’s final decision will be made. Buckingham Palace yesterday said that the Queen was still feeling well and was performing some ‘light duty’ while she rested.
After being told by doctors to rest, Her Majesty has returned to her duties.
Sources claim that the Queen is now taking the doctors’ orders to relax seriously, having been admitted to hospital last Wednesday night for preliminary investigations.
One of her highlights is being driven to walk her dogs at Frogmore on her Windsor estate. This is where her grandson Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle lived.
Friends and family believe that these daily excursions are a tonic’ and have helped to keep the Queen so ill. Staff have walked the dogs since her hospital stay.
