The scheduled virtual audiences for today have been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date, as confirmed by a spokesman. Her Majesty is currently carrying out light duties with no other engagements planned for the week. Previous virtual engagements were also cancelled earlier this week. The 95-year-old monarch tested positive for Covid-19 on February 20 after experiencing mild cold-like symptoms. Her Majesty fell unwell after coming into direct contact with her eldest son, the Prince of Wales, who had previously contracted the virus. Concern is heightened across the nation due to the Queen’s advanced age and recent health scare. She remains a popular figure in a country where many have only known her as the reigning monarch. Joining other world leaders affected by Covid, the Queen follows Queen Margrethe of Denmark and Spain’s King Felipe VI in testing positive for the virus on February 9.
