Queen Elizabeth II 'Trying Hard' To Avoid Showing Weakness In Public: Expert
Queen Elizabeth II continues to fulfill her duties and responsibilities as the head of the British Monarchy. However, experts believe she is “trying hard” not to show weakness before the public.
Cheat Sheet reported that the claims emerged from a panel of royal commentators and analysts at the Mail Plus’ series, “Palace Confidential.” The personalities discussed the British Monarch’s health conditions, as well as her status these days.
Journalist Rebecca English said that it is “incredibly unlikely” for the public to see the monarch in a wheelchair. While there is nothing wrong with it, she argued that the Queen is a “woman of her generation,” adding that she is “very proud,” who has never really liked to make concessions to her age.
Editor Charlotte Griffiths, then, noted that Queen Elizabeth II’s role in the British Monarchy is “to be the most steadfast pillar.” She believes that people want to remember her in this very image.
Meanwhile, historian and author Tessa Dunlop asserted that the Queen, much like the rest of her generation, follows the “stiff upper lip” policy. They do not reportedly like to “own or flaunt” their weaknesses before the public.
The statements come amid the increasing concerns toward the senior royal’s health. She, also, sparked more speculations about her condition when she was seen using a walking stick.
Geo News reported that a veteran royal reporter even recently spoke with The Telegraph and made some comments about Queen Elizabeth II, as well as her health. As stated, she is “finding it extremely difficult to walk” or even “stand for long periods.”
The assertions came from Phil Dampier after news of the Queen planning to undertake only light duties surfaced across media platforms. It was, also, after she reportedly missed some of this year’s biggest royal events.
As for her attendance at the special memorial service for the late Prince Philip, Dampier said that the British Monarch will “make a huge effort to attend the event.” However, he takes that it is necessary to “make allowances for her, and no one will begrudge it.”
Earlier in February, Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for COVID-19. Buckingham Palace made the announcement, adding that she was experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms.”
Even so, she had expected to continue working at Windsor over the coming week. Moreover, she “would continue to receive medical attention and would follow all the appropriate guidelines.”
Months prior, the British Monarch, also, faced a different health concern. Palace officials did not release any details about her condition at the time, but she canceled her trip to Northern Ireland.
