The life of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in the history of England, is slowly fading away. At 95 years old, she has reduced her activities to the maximum and she herself has confessed that she has problems to move around, those same problems led her to suspend one of the activities she enjoyed the most: walking her dogs.
The Queen, after overcoming the covid-19 infection last February, has been rarely seen, although on Wednesday, March 16, she presented the Gold Medal at Windsor Castle to the poet Grace Nichols and on Tuesday she received the Governor General of Canada, Mary Simon, and Whit Fraser, for tea. For many these appearances are a Buckingham Palace strategy to calm rumors about Her Majesty’s failing health.

What is the state of Queen Elizabeth’s health?
The last declination made by the Queen was to participate in the activities for the Commonwealth Day and she announced that her son Prince Charles would be the one to represent her in the events.
Her health has been “too fragile”, according to sources close to the sovereign, to return to the head of the monarchy or to do daily activities such as strolling around the grounds of Windsor Castle with her beloved corgis.
“Her dogs still play a vital role in palace life, but the queen is no longer well enough to walk them. It’s a shame, because that was one of her most comforting activities, especially in times of stress or crisis,” a source told The Sun.
On April 21, the queen will celebrate her 96th birthday, marked by a tireless work in the service of the monarchy. During her speech when she was crowned queen, she assured that she would remain in office until the day of her death.
