The Queen Not Attending.

[Barsel]

According to this news report, the Queen won't be attending the COP26 climate change summit after all which is a bit worrying and she was very much in favour of world leaders attending.
Hope she is ok.

I too hope she is ok. Probably been overdoing it lately. I think she should just forget about her duties until after Christmas now.

There's a very good chance that among the 30,000 or so attending the jamboree, there will be one or two carriers of Covid. I imagine that's the main reason the Palace is a little cautious.

[Bobbisox1]

me too, she’s bound to be failing more and more at her age and missing her rock Prince Philip by her side

[Barsel]

NJ it seems to be more about being told to rest.

[New Judge]

That's the official line.

[Barsel]

The thing is NJ the Queen is like her mother was, a bit on the vain side. Still trying to walk in heeled shoes, not using a walking stick until it became essential, and I don't think the Queen is happy about wearing a mask, so it wouldn't surprise me if she has insisted she won't wear one, so they've banned her. :-)

One less motorcade for us to deal with over the piece.

Hurrah!

Her face shows a bit of weight loss .

The Queen is a 95-year-old woman trying to do the same job as she was at 25. Of course she should rest. Apart from anything else a meeting of the Greenies is hardly a state national ceremony. There is veritable plethora of adult royals who coud take her place if it is felt essential to have a royal presence. I think the prime concern now is that HM makes it to February 6th and her 70th Jubilee

She's doing it by video. Best thing.

[Mamyalynne]

The right decision not travel and mingle I fell - I bet she is disappointed though.

Do you think they will all be walking?

[chrissa1]

I’m so pleased she’s not going. Too much for our lovely queen to take on.

"t wouldn't surprise me if she has insisted she won't wear one, so they've banned her. :-)"

I'd be astounded if the Queen had insisted on not wearing a mask

"I think the prime concern now is that HM makes it to February 6th and her 70th Jubilee"
otherwise we wont get a bank holiday!

[fiveleaves]

I think the nation is being prepared, very gently, for the Queen's death

[vulcan42]

have we become such a weak minded country that we have to be prepared for the death of a sovereign?

[naomi24]

^Especially one aged 95. It’s a fair bet she can’t go on for many more years.
