The queen has problems with her back
The queen had actually planned to attend the service in person, but shortly before it had become known that the monarch had to cancel. Citing Buckingham Palace reported the British “BBC“that Elizabeth II was struggling with back problems. In the morning she decided” with great regret “not to take part. The Queen was” disappointed “.
It should have been the Queen’s first public appearance after a long break. At the end of October, the palace had announced that Queen Elizabeth II was firmly planning to be there. At that time it became known that the queen had to take further care on medical advice. She had previously canceled a trip to Northern Ireland and spent one night in the hospital. The palace had justified the stay in the clinic with “preliminary examinations”. Elizabeth II later also canceled a planned participation in the COP26 climate summit.
