The Queen will not attend the National Service of Thanksgiving on Friday after experiencing ‘discomfort’ on Thursday.
As we’ve just reported, the Queen will not attend a thanksgiving service at St Paul’s on Friday, after experiencing “discomfort” during Jubilee celebrations on Thursday.
It’s not yet clear whether it will impact more widely on the four-day schedule of Jubilee events.
But it’s not the first time in recent weeks that the Queen, who is 96, has had to miss engagements because of health problems.
In May, she missed the State Opening of Parliament because of “episodic mobility problems”
Earlier that month, it was also announced she would miss this summer’s garden parties
In February, she caught Covid – which she later said left her feeling “very tired and exhausted”
