- Queen Elizabeth II cancels Tuesday's engagements
- The queen tested positive for COVID-19 last week
- Queen Elizabeth II has cancelled events due to illness before
Queen Elizabeth II is putting her health first as she recovers from COVID-19! While the monarch has only shown mild symptoms of the virus, the latest update from Buckingham Palace explained that she is choosing to scale things back for now.
Queen Elizabeth II declines to host virtual meetings
Queen Elizabeth II was originally supposed to have some virtual engagements on Tuesday, but now those will not be going ahead. As People shared, Buckingham Palace released a statement about the queen's decision, which reads similarly to their initial update on the royal's condition after she tested positive.
Even though the queen only has "mild cold-like symptoms" at the moment, this appears to have been enough for the 95-year-old monarch to put her planned meetings aside. The palace says she is expected to proceed with "light duties," which seems to refer to the queen's everyday responsibilities. And as People mentions, decisions about her upcoming events will be made on a day-by-day basis while she recovers from COVID.
