Buckingham Palace has released a significant health update regarding Her Majesty The Queen after she tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.
The 95-year-old monarch is currently experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms but remains in good spirits at Windsor Castle, where she has been conducting light official duties throughout this week.
Monarch Continues Light Duties Despite Diagnosis
A palace spokesperson confirmed that while The Queen will continue with lighter responsibilities, she has cancelled some planned virtual engagements as a precautionary measure. "Her Majesty is receiving appropriate medical attention and follows all necessary protocols," the statement read.
The royal household has faced several COVID cases recently, with Prince Charles testing positive just days earlier and having met with his mother on Tuesday. The Duchess of Cornwall also contracted the virus earlier this month.
Royal Resilience During Pandemic
This marks The Queen's first confirmed case of coronavirus, though she received her first vaccination in January 2021 and has since had booster shots. Palace officials emphasised that Her Majesty's symptoms remain mild and she's being closely monitored by royal physicians.
The monarch's diagnosis comes during her Platinum Jubilee year, celebrating an unprecedented 70 years on the throne. Despite the health setback, royal insiders suggest The Queen remains determined to participate in upcoming celebrations marking this historic milestone.
Well-wishers from across the United Kingdom and Commonwealth have flooded social media with messages of support for the beloved monarch's swift recovery.
