Concerns continue to mount over the health of Elizabeth II, who is about to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. Indeed, after being positive for Covid-19, then appearing with a cane in hand, her condition would have worsened, reveals British host Christopher Biggins on GB News, who specifies that the queen would now move in a wheelchair. . He says: “I heard that the reason she doesn’t do a lot of events that she should do and cancels them is because she is in a wheelchair.” Before specifying that Elizabeth II, “very proud”, would refuse to be seen “fighting”.
In the newspaper, a source adds that she “does not want to be seen in public in a wheelchair for fear of reproducing a ‘haunting’ photo taken of her late sister, Princess Margaret, in the months before her death”. But above all, Buckingham Palace would have planned a draconian organization so that the Queen can attend the memorial service of prince Philip next week. During this operation described as “military”, the queen would have to be transported from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace by helicopter, and large tarpaulins would be put in place to protect her from photographers during her travels in a wheelchair.
At DailyMail, a source from Buckingham Palace would have confided that Elizabeth II lives “an embarrassing moment”. “The Queen wishing to walk as long as possible” and refusal to be seen in a wheelchair.
For her part, the editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward explains to the Sun : “It is understandable that the Queen does not want to be seen in a wheelchair (…). She could accept a wheelchair, but the best way to achieve this would be to ensure that no photos are taken It could be a dress rehearsal for everything that’s going to be on the Platinum Jubilee I think she wants to go (to the memorial of her late husband) because she knows Philip would want her She must be thinking that if it was his tribute ceremony, he would move heaven and earth to make sure he was there. She would really hate to miss it.”
And to add: “It’s a headache for her staff, because it would be difficult for anyone her age who has mobility problems. It would be a painful process for her”.
