Queen Elizabeth II is still not up for participating in her royal duties as she battles COVID-19. The 95-year-old British monarch was diagnosed over the weekend, and has since had to cancel several virtual appearances.
On Thursday, Buckingham Palace announced that Her Majesty was once again foregoing two virtual audiences to focus on her health.
The Palace shared that the audiences have been moved to a later date as she continues to isolate with COVID. «Her Majesty is continuing with light duties,» the Palace shared in a statement, noting that no other engagements are currently scheduled for this week.
ET did learn that the queen spoke with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson by telephone on Wednesday evening. A royal source previously told ET that the conversation had originally been planned as an in-person audience, but had to be adjusted due to COVID guidelines.
