Queen Elizabeth will be attending an official event on Sunday 14 November. It is his first public appearance after a few weeks of rest, prescribed following a precautionary hospitalization in late October.
The sovereign will take part in the celebration of the Remembrance Day Service at the Cenotaph in London, an event in honor of the fallen in war. As in previous years, he will assist from the balcony of the Foreign Ministry.
Due to his temporary retirement from public affairs, he was unable to attend during the early days of COP 26, the Glasgow climate conference called to tackle global warming within the 1.5-degree mark. A goal set by the Paris Agreement of 2015. However, the queen sent a recorded video message to the conference. It is the most important of the events he had to renounce, leaving room for the eldest son and heir to the throne Charles and his nephew William.
Elizabeth will not be present on Tuesday 16 November at the General Synod of the Anglican Church, of which she is supreme governor as Queen of England. “Aware of the advice recently received from his doctors – reads the note from Buckingam Palace – he instead decided not to attend the rite and the opening session of the General Synod (of the Church of England, of which he is nominally head) on Tuesday 16 November »appointment at which he will be represented« as foreseen by the Earl of Wessex », that is, by his fourth-born son, Prince Edward. The announcement, although it does not signal a return to full activity of the elderly matriarch of the Windsor house, affected this year in particular by the loss of Prince consort Philip, who died almost 100 years old in April after 73 years of marriage, certainly appears to be a positive sign. . In 2022, the monarch will celebrate the Platinum Jubilee: the anniversary of her first seventy years of reign.
