Queen Elizabeth II “mild symptoms” of illness and will continue to perform some duties. Last week, it became known that her son Prince Charles had contracted the coronavirus, the Queen had seen him two days before.
Queen Elizabeth II has contracted COVID-19, according to the BBC, citing a statement from Buckingham Palace. She has “mild symptoms” similar to those experienced by a person with a cold.
Representatives of the 95-year-old queen assured that she would be under medical supervision and follow all doctors’ orders. The Queen will also continue to carry out “easy duties” over the next week.
On Thursday, February 17, the British Queen complained of problems with her legs. She held a meeting with the new head of the secretariat of the Ministry of Defense and his predecessor, leaning on a cane. During a conversation with them, the monarch said that she “couldn’t move.”
The fact that Elizabeth was diagnosed with coronavirus was announced a week and a half after her son and heir to the throne, Prince Charles, passed a positive test (this happened on February 10). A little later, sources close to the royal family told the BBC that Charles had seen his mother two days before testing.
The BBC, citing its correspondent, reports that the Queen is “absolutely” fully vaccinated. She was announced to have received one dose of the vaccine in January 2021. A month later, she asked her subjects to follow her example and take root. She noted that the decision can be difficult, but when making it, you need to think about other people as well.
