Another signal of the relatively precarious health of 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth II was received yesterday after canceling her participation in the climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
The international conference and the large number of participants, including from Israel, of course, is scheduled to take place next week.
Elizabeth has complied with the Royal Physician's instructions, and this time it is the second cancellation in a week that she is canceling in view of her loose health condition.
"Her Majesty is disappointed that she will not attend the reception but will deliver a statement to the delegates via a recorded video message," an official statement from the palace said.
This was published last night while those around her explained that this was not an incident related to the corona virus that is plaguing the island these days.
Despite this, concerns surrounding the sensitive medical condition of the elderly British queen continue to be overcome, after a week of rumors but mostly concern for her safety.
Elizabeth and her physical presence are an example and inspiration for many in the world.
Over the past day the Queen has held several official meetings “remotely” with the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and his Swiss counterpart.
Last week she was advised by her doctors to cancel her visit to Northern Ireland at the last minute, and was later also hospitalized for "preliminary tests", Buckingham Palace said.
A source at the palace told Reuters yesterday that the decision not to come to Scotland to meet with world leaders at the important climate conference was a "sensible precaution", adding that she hoped her absence would not lead to the cancellation of the participation of other leaders.
It was also reported that she is in an upbeat mood and continues with a calm routine, including a conversation with the British Minister of Finance ahead of the presentation of the budget.
Despite the recent string of reports surrounding her health (including walking with a treadmill for the first time in 17 years), the palace tried to hide and stressed that the latest decision should not be interpreted as a deterioration in her condition.
