Rest up, Queen!
Amidst this, she has two significant events coming up–Braemar Games and appointing the new Prime Minister next month–which would require her attendance. However, Mirror confirms that there would be a change in the plan of doing things in a traditional way as the monarch is not in the best of her health.
The Queen is carefully considering whether or not she will be able to attend the Braemar Games the following weekend due to growing fears regarding her mobility. A source confirmed:
The Queen’s condition is not what you would call ideal, but then Her Majesty is 96 after all.
The Highland Games are typically a high point in the monarch's summer calendar as she attends the event with the current prime minister. This year's competition will feature tug-of-war and caber-tossing matches amongst competitors in front of an audience for the first time after Covid.
Family visits
As Her Majesty struggles with her health, she is thrilled to be spending her time at Balmoral with her family. Many of the Queen’s great-grandchildren have been visiting her to spend time with her. Prince Andrew has been living in the main house itself, while Prince Charles makes daily visits to his mother.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with their kids–Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte– headed up to the Scottish estate last week. Meanwhile, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children Lady Louise and Viscount James also paid a visit to their great-grandmother during the summer break.
