Elizabeth Is All: Last News

This year, Queen Elizabeth II will be notably missing from the royal family’s customary Easter Sunday services.

Queen Elizabeth II will be notably missing from the royal family's customary Easter Sunday services. According to a royal source, the monarch will not be in attendance at church on Sunday, April 17 in honor of Easter Sunday, but other members of the royal family will be there. While it is a holiday, it will also mark a solemn occasion — the first anniversary of Prince Philip's funeral at Windsor Castle.

Queen Elizabeth II has been keeping a low profile after facing a series of health setbacks in the past few months, including testing positive for COVID, the 95-year-old British monarch stepped out this week for an official engagement at Windsor Castle. Her Majesty viewed a selection of artifacts from Halcyon Days, commemorating the luxury brand's 70th anniversary at the White Drawing Room in Windsor Castle. While wearing a white flower-printed dress, black shoes, and holding a walking stick, the queen studied the hand-decorated archive enamelware from the 1950s to present day. She also watched demonstrations of traditional methods of enamel decoration and gilding by hand from master artisans Susan Shakespeare and Susan Jones. While Queen Elizabeth has been cutting her duties and appearances back significantly in recent months, it's still a big year for her.

Nothing brings a smile to Queen Elizabeth’s face quite like horses do.
