In addition to postponing several virtual events due to illness, the queen also postponed a diplomatic reception planned to take place at Windsor Castle on Wednesday due to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Though Elizabeth has avoided public appearances, ET previously learned that she was carrying on with «light duties» amid her COVID battle, which included keeping up with her red boxes, which contain government advisories and parliamentary papers at her desk. Last week, a source confirmed to ET that the queen did have her weekly call with UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
