Queen Elizabeth II Struggled To Move During a Windsor Castle Audience

Queen Elizabeth II, 95, said she had difficulty moving during her first in-person meeting since the COVID-19 crisis. It came after a tumultuous week for the royal family with her son Prince Andrew settling his sex abuse case, The Independent reported.

Queen Elizabeth was seen walking with a walking stick during the official engagement at Windsor Castle. Then, pointing to her left foot or leg, she said, “Well, as you can see, I can’t move.”

Queen Elizabeth met at Windsor Castle with incoming Defence Secretary Major General Eldon Millar, and his predecessor, Rear Admiral James Macleod, the news reported. Moreover, Buckingham Palace declined to comment after the Queen’s statement.

According to the Independent, instead of being injured or ill, the Queen appeared stiff. Additionally, she was instructed to rest for more than three months and only perform light chores after spending a night in the hospital for preliminary examinations in October.
