In a surprising turn of events, Queen Elizabeth II has made a sudden change and broken with a tradition that has been in place for decades, raising concerns about her health.
The Queen, who is currently at the Balmoral estate in Scotland, will be unable to travel to Buckingham Palace to receive the UK’s new Prime Minister next week.
This tradition, which predates her reign, has always involved the Sovereign greeting the outgoing and incoming Prime Ministers at Buckingham Palace in London.
However, for the first time since 1908, Boris Johnson and his successor, either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, will have to travel 1,600 kilometers up to Aberdeenshire to meet her.
This unexpected development has sparked worries about the 96-year-old monarch’s well-being.
Despite her worsening health issues, Queen Elizabeth remains determined to be visible to the British public during the current cost-of-living crisis.
Royal experts note that her reportedly daily audiences are highly unusual, suggesting that Prince Charles is concerned for his mother’s welfare during this crucial period when she would normally play a leading role.
Given her age and ongoing mobility issues, there are renewed concerns about the Queen’s health.
Reports also indicate that Prince Charles, her eldest son and heir to the British throne, has been making highly unusual daily visits to see her.
While they are mother and son, this level of interaction is unprecedented.
Throughout the year, Queen Elizabeth has been relying on her walking stick more frequently, further fueling worries about her well-being.
This departure from tradition is significant as it marks the first time in her 70-year reign that the Queen has conducted this historic duty away from Buckingham Palace.
The decision was confirmed by a palace spokesman on Wednesday, who stated that if the Queen had experienced any mobility issues next week while planning to travel to London or Windsor, alternative arrangements would have been made at the last minute.
