Queen Elizabeth looks exuberant and fit during a digital appointment
In the past few weeks, Queen Elizabeth, 95, made headlines for worried faces among Royal fans. The longest ruling head of the British royal family had to cancel trips to Northern Ireland or Glasgow at short notice, change his lifestyle and have been sparing himself since a hospital stay on October 19, 2021 at Windsor Castle. The monarch still can’t help but keep appointments – in the home office. A recent video call published by the palace on Instagram shows her as fit as she has been in a long time. Is it time to breathe a sigh of relief?
In a floral dress, Queen Elizabeth laughs at the camera. On Thursday morning, the Queen will virtually hand over the Queen’s gold medal for poetry to the English poet David Constantine via video call. Meanwhile, the monarch was even joking and asked the author during the digital audience: “I don’t know what you mean by that [mit der Medaille] do. Will you put them in a closet? “There was laughter on the other side of the screen. How nice to see the 95-year-old so fit and in a good mood again!
Queen Elizabeth can no longer ride because of “complaints”
After being hospitalized last Tuesday, October 19, 2021, Queen Elizabeth, 95, has to radically change her life. It is said that the monarch will accept fewer appointments in the future and will be accompanied by another senior royal. In addition, she must change her alcohol and television habits. The monarch’s hardest hit is giving up two of her favorite hobbies. Because not only walking with her beloved dogs is currently flat, she also had to give up riding because of her “complaints”.
Two months ago, the Queen was advised not to pursue her hobby for the time being, reports “The Sun”. However, she is determined to be back in the saddle soon. The 95-year-old is known to be a big fan of riding and equestrian sports. However, since her summer break, which she spent in Scotland, she has not been on horseback because she suffered “a little from discomfort,” reports an insider from Balmoral Castle, the family’s vacation home. “She loves horseback riding and it has been a ritual for her for most of her life,” the source said. “She is very disappointed that she has not been able to ride since the beginning of September.”

Duchess Catherine: This is what her Halloween plans could look like
Duchess Catherine, 39, is an avowed Halloween fan! In 2019 Kate was already rummaging around for Halloween costumes with George and Charlotte in a branch of “Sainsbury’s” in King’s Lynn (near the Cambridges’ country house, Comments Hall, editor’s note) spotted during the fall break. And in 2020, shortly before the supermarket closed, she was still looking for costumes for her children.
This year, the Cambridges are likely to celebrate Halloween on holiday, the family was spotted at London’s Heathrow Airport on Friday, October 22, 2021. It is not yet known exactly where Duchess Catherine, Prince William, 39, and the children flew to. In view of the royals’ numerous suitcases, however, it is quite conceivable that Catherine packed a few gruesome costumes for Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3. The 39-year-old will certainly not want to do without the tradition of dressing up on Halloween.

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 only 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 cut back on 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 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 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 rucksacks on their backs, while their parents and nanny unloaded additional luggage from the car – presumably at a private entrance to the airport.
