Queen Elizabeth II: Church visit canceled due to hurricane depression "Sabine"

The storm depression "Sabine" extends its feelers to Germany. It's already raging all Sunday on the British Isles. Queen Elizabeth II (93) is also affected. As a result, the head of the United Kingdom had to cancel its church visit in Sandringham, Norfolk, on Sunday, as the BBC reports. The reason: public safety concerns because of the bad weather.

However, a spokeswoman for Buckingham Palace added that the primary concern is the safety of the many onlookers, rather than concerns about the Queen. By the way: In Great Britain, the current storm over Europe is not called "Sabine" as in this country, but simply "Ciara".
