Instead, there are reports that say Queen Elizabeth missed her own Thanksgiving service because she was tired from the Trooping of the Colours celebration a day earlier. In fact, sources close to the situation say that the queen has been experiencing ‘mobility issues’ and that’s why she’s sitting the church services out. Here’s what you need to know.
British Royal News: This Is The Reason Why Queen Elizabeth Is Missing Her Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving Service
“The Queen greatly enjoyed today’s Birthday Parade and Flypast but did experience some discomfort,” a rep told the media this week. “Taking into account the journey and activity required to participate in tomorrow’s [service] Her Majesty with great reluctance has concluded that she will not attend.”
Though she will not be at St Paul’s Cathedral tomorrow morning, a Palace spokesperson says “The Queen is looking forward to participating in tonight’s Beacon lighting event at Windsor Castle and would like to thank all those who made today such a memorable occasion.” Furthermore, a royal source says because the Queen’s episodic mobility issues were experienced throughout today, not attending tomorrow is a “sensible decision based on the journey, length of time involved and the physical demands a service at St Paul’s inevitably involve.”
