After seven decades of relentless service, Queen Elizabeth II has reached a 'turning point' after a night in hospital forced her to take advice to slow down.
The queen's absence from the UN climate conference on medical advice comes as a blow to organisers.LONDON - After seven decades of relentless service, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has reached a"turning point" after a night in hospital forced her to take advice to slow down and cut back on engagements.
It also came as a blow to organisers of the UN summit, with the queen's star power sure to attract attention to any event."It would have involved a long journey from Windsor to Glasgow, it was an evening reception and therefore especially tiring, but there is the additional risk of exposing her to Covid-19".
The queen is due to celebrate her platinum jubilee next year, marking 70 years on the throne, and was still in fine form in public recently, despite the loss of her 99-year-old husband Prince Philip in April. She made the headlines recently after being seen walking with a cane, and The Sun tabloid reported that she had also stopped walking her corgis in recent days.
