Finally, good news, not a cancellation.

Queen Elisabeth II, 95, received British Chief of Staff Nick Carter on Wednesday, in his first public appearance since his absence at an official ceremony on Sunday.

"Her Majesty received General Sir Nicholas Carter at Windsor Castle today," Buckingham Palace said in a brief statement.

Footage from the encounter shows her standing in a floral dress conversing with the uniformed soldier, who is about to leave his post.

A greatly reduced agenda

To the soldier who said he was surprised himself at his longevity in his post, eight years, she replied: "I guess when you are in such a position, it is easier to continue, isn't it?

"I think that's true, although I think at some point it's time to move on," replied Nick Carter.

Like a subliminal message?

The state of health of the sovereign, who has reigned for nearly 70 years, worries since she was put to rest by her doctors and spent a night in the hospital at the end of October.

Sunday, she was to make her return in public by observing from a balcony a ceremony in tribute to the victims of wars.

But her participation was canceled at the last minute, the palace explaining that she had hurt her back.

Very busy at the beginning of October, the queen's agenda was greatly reduced.

Elisabeth II notably canceled her trip to COP26, in Glasgow, where Princes Charles and William represented the royal family, as well as a visit to Northern Ireland.
