Mild cold-like symptoms
Buckingham Palace announced at the time that she was experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but that she would continue with light duties.
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” the palace said in a statement.
The Queen received the COVID-19 vaccine in early 2021 and has since received the booster shot.
Queen Elizabeth marks 70 years on the throne
As previously reported by Legi.ng, the Queen kicked off celebrations for the 70th anniversary by inviting local community groups to her Sandringham residence in the East of England.
New York Times reported that the milestone puts the queen in a rarefied group: Only three other monarchs are documented to have reigned for more than 70 years.
Elizabeth, 95, became the queen of Britain upon the death of her father King George VI on February 6, 1952, while she was in Kenya on an international tour.
Her majesty marked Accession Day in private as is customary, not viewing it as something to celebrate. Her Platinum Jubilee is scheduled for June 2022.
Recall that the Buckingham Palace spokesperson had confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II was hospitalised for preliminary investigations after cancelling a planned trip to Northern Ireland.
