Queen Elizabeth is completing her first appointments since she was hospitalized
Actually, Queen Elizabeth, 95, should shorten her schedule a little after her hospital stay last week, it said. But just a week later, the monarch is already attending official appointments again – even if only virtually.
On Tuesday, October 26, 2021, she received the new ambassadors for Great Britain from South Korea and Switzerland. Pictures, which were also published on the official Instagram account of the Royal Family, show the 95-year-old in a yellow dress, smiling and sitting in front of the screen in a good mood. “Today the Queen received two ambassadors via video call from Windsor Castle,” read the lines. Royal fans and followers are delighted with the monarch’s quick return. “It’s great to see the Queen smiling and back at work,” says one user. Another writes: “Long live the Queen! Get well soon!”
Queen Elizabeth can no longer walk her corgis
After her surprising hospital stay last week, Queen Elizabeth, 95, has to step back a little. It is said that she will have to accept fewer appointments in the future and that she will be supported by another senior royal. Palace Insider reports that she has also scaled back her alcohol and television consumption for health reasons. Probably the worst limitation, however, is that the monarch is no longer able to walk her beloved dogs.
The 95-year-old had owned a number of Corgis since 1944. Currently there are two small Welsh corgis and a dorgi, a mix of corgi and dachshund and the favorite breed of her late sister Princess Margaret, † 71. The Queen prefers to be driven to Frogmore, where she likes to take her dogs for a walk. The monarch’s friends and family believe, according to the Daily Mail, that it was precisely these daily walks with their beloved dogs that kept them fit into their old age. Since her visit to the hospital, during which, according to the palace, some routine examinations were carried out, palace employees have now taken over.

Duchess Catherine and Prince William on a long journey with George, Charlotte and Louis?
Whether it’s the Earthshot Prize or the James Bond premiere: In the past few weeks, Duchess Catherine, 39, and Prince William, 39, have been out and about on some red carpets. But now it’s time to take a breather. Because just in time for the start of the holidays, the Cambridges are going on vacation with their three children – and Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3, finally have their parents all to themselves again.
The royal five apparently celebrate the regained family time with a trip together. Because last Thursday afternoon, October 21, 2021, William, Kate and the kids, according to British media – including “Hello” – were spotted with their nanny and heavy luggage at London’s Heathrow Airport. On paparazzi recordings, George and Charlotte carried large backpacks on their backs, while their parents and nanny unloaded additional luggage from the car – presumably at a private entrance to the airport.

Kate had opted for a summer floral dress, including a matching basket bag. Charlotte and George also looked in their short dress, shirt and trousers as if they were about to fly towards the sun. It is not yet known where the journey of the British royals is going.
