Queen Elizabeth II held two hearings via videoconference on Tuesday following being forced to cancel engagements last week because she had Covid-19, Buckingham Palace announced.
The 95-year-old monarch spoke by videoconference with the new ambassadors of Chad and the Principality of Andorra from Windsor Castle where she resides.
The Queen last week canceled similar planned engagements with diplomats because she was suffering, according to her services, from “mild cold-like symptoms”. Its main event of the week, an in-person diplomatic reception scheduled for Wednesday in Windsor, was canceled on advice from the Foreign Office.
On February 6, Elizabeth II passed the milestone of 70 years of reign and four days of festivities are planned in June in the United Kingdom to celebrate this platinum jubilee.
