Prince Charles was speaking to Sky News at an event in Jordan focusing on environmental issues when he said that the Queen is alright but admitted ‘it’s not quite as easy as it used to be’ for his 95-year-old mother.
In his first interview following the conclusion of the COP26 climate change summit, he said: “I mean, always the difficulty I think in these exercises is, is how do you translate commitments into real action around.”
“So often in the past, it has been a problem,” he said. “But this time, the problem is we cannot go on mucking about any longer because the urgency as I was trying to say is so great.”
The Queen held a virtual appointment the following week, though she canceled her appearance at the United Nations climate change conference, COP26, in Scotland.
The palace later released another statement on Queen Elizabeth’s health, laying out her schedule for the next two weeks. This includes a possible in-person appearance at the Remembrance Sunday service.
“Following on from their recent advice that Queen Elizabeth II should rest for a few days, Her Majesty’s doctors have advised that she should continue to rest for at least the next two weeks.”
“The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties, but not to undertake any official visits.”
Though the Queen was originally cleared to attend the service on Sunday, she ended up missing it because of her sprain in the back.
“The Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today’s Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph,” the palace said on Sunday. “Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service.”
Meanwhile, the Queen delighted royal fans when she was seen standing unaided during her recent face-to-face meeting with General Sir Nick Carter.
However, the photos released by Buckingham Palace sparked a conversation about the monarch’s health.
In the images, Queen Elizabeth’s hands looked very different and it is in the shade of purple.
Doctors said that purple hands are very common during cold seasons and that they can be easily treated by keeping warm.
Queen Elizabeth II has remained on the throne for more than 69 years, pledging her whole life to royal service. She is set to reach her Platinum Jubilee next year, having become Queen on February 6, 1952, when she was just 25 years old.
