Queen Elizabeth is far from thinking about her retirement, but at the age of 95 she has to take it easy due to health problems.
Your appointment calendar should be radically streamlined.
London - The appointment calendar is full, the red box with the official papers is never empty: Queen Elizabeth has ruled her British Empire day after day for almost 70 years.
She rarely has vacation, she spends her well-deserved summer break at Balmoral Castle.
Since her return from the "Happy Holidays" she has already attended 15 royal appointments, including a trip to Ascot and many audiences.
The Queen takes her job as head of state very seriously, but now she has health problems.
At 95, she has to step back.
Queen Elisabeth: Strategy to relieve the head of state
According to the British newspaper
Daily Mail
, high-ranking employees of Buckingham Palace are currently working on a strategy to relieve the Queen. After their hospital visit, these came into the focus of the critics, as they had deceived the public about the real condition of the monarch. They are accused of failing to inform that the Queen was admitted to King Edward VII's Hospital in London and had to stay there overnight for a number of examinations. The palace initially claimed the Queen was resting at home at Windsor Castle, but the hoax was quickly exposed and official news of a hospital stay issued. She had previously had to cancel an important trip.
In addition, the Queen's close confidante and private secretary, Sir Edward Young, was accused of having "ruthlessly" stuffed the Queen's schedule without paying attention to her health.
Tasks that do not fall within their scope should therefore no longer find a place in the monarch's calendar in the future.
For this purpose, a so-called "core list" is to be drawn up, which contains the most important events of the coming 12 months.
A safe place will be given to their own celebration of the 70th reign in June, because after all, not every monarch achieves a platinum anniversary.

British Queen: She should get support from her family
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the British royal family to reconcile the wishes of the queen and the wishes of her country. She desperately wants to continue to be an active head of state, but the family, on the other hand, demands that her health be protected. A possible solution could be the permanent accompaniment of the Queen by one of her children or grandchildren. From now on, the Queen should never be alone at public appearances to avoid having to cancel an event due to future health problems. The
Sunday Telegraph
reported that another member of the British royal family, such as Prince Charles or Prince William, will step in if Queen Elizabeth needs help.
As the
Daily Mail
wrote, according to Buckingham Palace, the Queen is "still in good spirits" that she can continue as before.
However, an insider would have told the newspaper otherwise: "Her private office is constantly looking at her schedule and adjusting it if necessary." After all, it should not be forgotten that the British Queen is 95 years old and no longer that can do "what was expected of her 10 or 20 years ago," said Joe Little, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine and royal expert.
