The Queen's programme of engagements will never return to its pre-pandemic days because of her age and her frailty, a royal commentator has suggested.
Joe Little, of Majesty magazine, said the monarch's diary is likely to remain pretty sparse, with the nation's longest-reigning sovereign less visible in her role.
The Queen pulled out of attending the Commonwealth Day service on Monday, a decision understood to be related to her comfort rather than a specific illness.
