Her Majesty has Covid - that can’t be good for someone in her 90’s?

But will keep on doing light duties, apparently. Not bad for someone more than 25 years past retirement age.

She's a tough old bird. Fingers crossed for her.

Not great timing for Boris to announce the total end of restrictions next week

Lets hope the two jabs and a booster do their job. We really don't want to lose her at present.

At a guess, she's probably already had a fourth, so hopefully, that and good medical care will see HMQ through it.

That's a big palace to dust.

Restricted to mosaics, probably and wear the racing crown.

...and the guard's horses don't shoe themselves.

No wonder the poor woman is a bit run down.

She has been counting bank notes for the last week, makes the finger tips very sore after the first million.

Quite the reverse I'd have said. This proves beyond all doubt that no matter what you do, even sitting alone with a face mask on at your husband's funeral, you're still going to get it.

Better yet, she's (still) leading by example and 'expects to continue "light duties" at Windsor over the coming week'.

A perfect example of how it really is time just to get on with life now.

Probably Charles popped over to give her a hug after his positive result!

Hope she’s ok, as posted before she’s a tough old girl.

One would have thought they would have had a man to turn the lights on and off as required.

Because a 95 year old old person has a mild cold? I’d say it was a great time to end restrictions.

A 93 year old relations of mine just shrugged off covid and only suffered a slight cold.

I wouldn’t write the Queen off just yet!

Yes, she didn't get COVID when she was isolating and wearing a mask.

Now that she has resumed active meet and greet duties, maskless and gloveless, she gets COVID.

That's quite the mental gymnastics you have performed, to fit the logical fallacy of your world view.
