A small apparition, then at rest. Queen Elisabeth II, recently forced to reduce her public commitments on medical advice, will participate as she sees fit in the Remembrance ceremony on Sunday in London, but on the other hand renounces another event on Tuesday, announced on Thursday the palace of Buckingham. The 95-year-old sovereign, who spent a night in hospital last month, had to extend the rest advised by her doctors, forcing her to cancel her participation this Saturday in the festival of remembrance, which honors British soldiers and of the Commonwealth.

"As in previous years, His Majesty will attend" the ceremony "from the balcony of the building" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said a statement from Buckingham Palace.

"Attentive to the recent advice of her doctors, the queen has decided not to be present" at the General Synod of the Church of England on Tuesday, November 16, specifies the text.

The Queen was put to rest on October 20 the day after a reception at Windsor Castle where she appeared chatting with her Prime Minister Boris Johnson and American businessman Bill Gates. She spent the following night in hospital, her first hospitalization since 2013, for "preliminary examinations" about which no details were provided. Elisabeth II had in particular had to cancel her trip to COP26, which is due to end at the end of the week in Glasgow (Scotland).

The fact that Buckingham Palace waited for the press revelation of that night at the hospital had raised questions about his state of health, as well as criticism of what has been denounced as a lack of transparency.

Reassuring for the British, the queen was seen recently at the wheel of her Jaguar on her grounds of Windsor Castle, about forty kilometers from London, now her main place of residence.

Elisabeth II, whose husband Prince Philip died in April at the age of 99, was also recently seen walking with a cane, a first since 2004.
