After a recent health scare from the Queen, royal sources are saying that she is still ‘determined’ to attend her husband’s memorial service later this month, despite her mobility issues.

Last week, the 95-year-old monarch pulled out of the Commonwealth Day service amidst fears that she might not be “comfortable” travelling all the way from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace.

Palace sources have reported that the Queen is suffering from mobility issues, and that “she can’t stand for long periods of time”.

“It’s about pacing her diary now,” one source told The Telegraph.

“She has said herself that she is as committed to service as ever, but that will have to take a slightly different form.”

British actor Christopher Biggins also claims that the Queen is already at the point of her life where she needs to be in a wheelchair just to get around.

However, since she is “very proud” and “doesn’t want to be seen struggling”, she is cancelling her engagements.

“I have heard that the reason she’s not doing a lot of the events that she should be doing and cancelling them is because she is in a wheelchair,” the actor told GB News.

The Queen has been seen using a walking stick on a number of public engagements before but never a wheelchair. According to a royal source, Her Majesty doesn’t want to replicate a ‘haunting’ photo taken of her late sister Princess Margaret in the months before her death.

That is why several military-style plans are underway to make sure that Queen Elizabeth is “comfortable” and able to attend a memorial service for her late husband, Prince Philip, on March 29.

To spare the Queen from the long car ride from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace, senior royal aides are considering flying Her Majesty by helicopter, which would only take 15 minutes for the whole trip.

And once she arrives, they want to drive her the short distance from the Palace and seal off the entire Dean’s Yard to the west of the Abbey so they can park in private outside a side door. This way, the Queen would no longer have to walk around 100m from the Abbey entrance through the nave and choir just to get to her seat.

The royal staffers want to make sure the monarch will arrive before all the other guests and be seated before everyone else arrives.

Six-foot privacy shields or screens may even be used just to prevent photographers and the public eye from seeing her struggling to walk as she leaves the car.

It is a disgrace that such a gracious woman needs to secrete her movements from a publicity hungry world so she can go about her business. She is aging and that is no shame. At the end of the day, she is human. Vultures are circling. Let her age in peace.

This getting old thing is not good, getting old and me are NOT friends!!!

The aging process is a bummer, it seems to go either one of two ways. All too often the body gives up while the mind is still as sharp as a tack or the mind goes and the body is still relatively strong. It's a no win situation but by no means should one be ashamed of aging, it's a natural process and to reach 96 is no mean feat. Unfortunately I can't see her reaching the age where she sends herself a telegram!!!

I am surprised that the Queen would be so self conscious. She is probably been advised not to do too much as she approaches her 96th birthday in a few weeks. I am only a young 78 and find myself using the shooing trolley for support more often these days and really do not care who is watching.
