The Queen has spoken out about her bout of Covid, saying it left her 'very tired and exhausted' in a call with front-line workers. The monarch, 95, tested positive for Covid in February and, despite having what Buckingham Palace said were 'mild cold-like symptoms' was determined to carry out what duties she could.
She later overcame the virus and described the experience during a virtual call with the Royal London Hospital on Wednesday, to mark the official opening of the medical institution’s Queen Elizabeth Unit. In a call with medical staff, the Queen listened to their stories of coping with the huge influx of Covid patients and their experience during the pandemic.
It comes as the Queen has reportedly been having mobility issues of late having pulled out of attending an annual Easter church service next week for the first time in more than 50 years as she could not guarantee her attendance.
