Queen Elizabeth II. Not present on World War I - because of her health
Apparently it was a short-term decision.
The Queen is said to be "disappointed" about it, the message from the palace continues.
Her place on the balcony remained empty, on the neighboring balcony Duchess Catherine stood in the middle, heir to the throne Prince Charles took over the laying of the wreath.
“She really doesn't have to be fine,” speculates the Queen's health expert
This rejection is fueling speculation about the Queen's state of health.
After all, it would have been her first public appearance since she was hospitalized.
In between, the Queen could be seen sitting in the Land Rover or via a video conference.
Opposite the newspaper

, a royal expert pondered her condition.
He was "concerned".
And continued: “This date is by far the most important date of the year for the Queen.
She really doesn't have to be fine to cancel this appointment at such short notice. "
During her time at the helm of the British royal family, the monarch only missed Remembrance Sunday six times.
The regent was pregnant on two dates.
She was out of the country the remaining four times.
As the British
news agency PA
reported, citing unnamed sources, the sprain is said to have occurred only recently.
There is therefore no connection with the advice of her doctors to take it easy.
That was recommended to her right after her stay.
However, the journalist and well-known British Royal expert Piers Morgan tweeted on Sunday: “Something is being kept from us about the Queen's health.
It is clearly a more serious situation than the palace tells us. "
Specialist explains: Could take twice as long as with younger people
Compared to the British

, Dr.
Yousaf Shah, specialist in orthopedic spine surgery, assesses the situation: "Back sprains usually take two to six weeks to get better." But since the Queen is 95 years old, the healing process takes longer.

Despite all the speculations, only the Queen herself knows what her health is really like - and maybe she'll soon greet her from the balcony again and laugh away these rumors.
