Queen Elizabeth COVID-19 Worsening? Monarch Cancels Meeting Again Because of THIS

By Alexandria Reeves

Queen Elizabeth II made royal fans worried again with her recent cancelation of online engagements.

Buckingham Palace confirmed on Sunday that Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for COVID-19. It revealed that Her Majesty started experiencing mild cold-like symptoms following the diagnosis.

While Queen Elizabeth II herself wanted to continue her royal duties, she decided to cancel her scheduled virtual meetings on Tuesday and Thursday due to concerns about one of her symptoms.

"As Her Majesty is still experiencing mild cold-like symptoms, she has decided not to undertake her planned virtual engagements today but will continue with light duties," Buckingham Palace spokesperson said.

Sources told Daily Mail that the Queen halted her schedule as her voice sounds a "little croaky."

"[She] understandably still sounds full of cold," the insider said, with another source adding, "Family are confident she will make a full recovery."

While this sounds worrying, Queen Elizabeth II felt better that she pushed through the audience with Prime Minister Boris Johnson through the phone on Wednesday. The Queen regularly holds an audience with the prime minister every week.

Queen Elizabeth II takes extra precautionary measures after several Royal Household members at Windsor Castle also tested positive for the virus. Her Majesty continues to isolate as of press time.

Where Did Queen Elizabeth Contract COVID-19?

Prior to the confirmation of Queen Elizabeth II's diagnosis, her son, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, also caught the virus. Her Majesty met the heir to the throne two days before receiving his test result.

After the Prince of Wales learned about his COVID-19 diagnosis, a royal source revealed that the Queen underwent monitoring. However, she was not displaying any symptoms at that time.

Queen Elizabeth II probably exposed herself, as well, during her maskless in-person meeting on Feb. 16 with outgoing Defense Services Secretary Rear Admiral James Macleod and his successor, Major General Eldon Millar.

Despite her diagnosis, she is reportedly fully vaccinated. However, people who enter Windsor castle need to take a COVID-19 test and have a negative result.

Queen Elizabeth II is expected to host the Diplomatic Reception on March 2. She is also scheduled to attend the Commonwealth Service on March 14 and Prince Philip's memorial service on March 29. Amid her royal engagements, Professor Sir Huw Thomas, the current head of the Medical Household and Physician to the Queen, continuously monitors her health.
