Soldiers should protect the Queen from prying eyes

Queen Elizabeth II is not very mobile anymore. Her mobility is so limited that she can no longer walk her dogs.

Elizabeth II had to cancel several performances because of her health. But she wants to take part in the memorial service for her husband Prince Philip – the Royal Army is supposed to prevent photos of the Queen in a wheelchair.

The 95-year-old British monarch does not want to show any weakness even in her old age. As “The Mirror” reports, Queen Elizabeth II will attend Prince Philip’s memorial service – with strong protection of her privacy.

A military operation is to keep the paparazzi away and ensure safe conduct.

Her Majesty recently refrained from several public appearances. For example, she did not appear in front of people on “Commonwealth Day” in Westminster Abbey. The celebration for Prince Philip, who died in April 2021, is now being held at the same location.

This performance was canceled due to the almost 42 kilometers distance between London and Windsor Castle. Such a trip was not beneficial for the Queen’s well-being, it was said at the time.

A wheelchair only if necessary

The Queen is currently struggling with her mobility, the palace says. In fact, she is so frail that she can no longer even walk her beloved dogs.

But because she absolutely wants to make the long journey to the memorial service in the Abbey, British soldiers provide protection – especially against curious paparazzi who want to snap a current picture of the Queen.

As The Sun wants to know, one option at the moment is for the Queen to be flown from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace by helicopter. This trip is possible in 15 minutes. After that, she had to be driven the remaining distance.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were married for 73 years and 140 days and he died last April at the age of 99. At the memorial service, she wants to personally pay her last respects.

It was only last week that she completed her engagements in Windsor on her feet, but now the palace staff are concerned. So concerned that even a short walk might cause difficulties.

Although the Queen has decided not to use a wheelchair, it should be reconsidered for her performance at Westminster Abbey.

Queen Elizabeth II has generally agreed to be supported in her project. You will get into the Abbey through the side entrance, of course without public eyes. She hired the British military for this.
