The Queen should rest another two weeks
-
Yeah, whenever the doc advises rest, it's usually not a good thing.
The Queen is to rest for two more weeks on doctors' orders in the most significant absence of her long reign, with Buckingham Palace confirming that she will miss an event linked to Remembrance Sunday.
The monarch, who has been having tests for an unknown illness, will not undertake any official visits in public and will be confined to desk-based duties only.
She is to miss the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, Nov 13 but has the "firm intention" to be present to watch the annual wreath-laying on Remembrance Sunday.
A statement released by Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Queen's doctors want her to rest for at least two more weeks.
The news will add to concerns about her health after she had to pull out of a trip to Northern Ireland and spent a night in hospital last Wednesday.
"Unknown illness...." Ugh.

She is totally a class act. Remember she swore in Churchill. SHe's been around a while.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Indeed. Her legacy is remarkable.
I don't know how much of "The Crown" is accurate, but it seems to present a pretty favorable, and, most importantly, respectful view if HRH QEII.
God (or whoever) bless her.

Apparently Her Majesty is fit enough to drive a car. Curious as to whether it was an Aston Martin:

Old age. I wish her the best. A class act.
+1 Wouldn't it be fun to have a chat with her to get her take on the life she's experienced.
It'd take too long. Seriously, how do you cram all that into one conversation? It'd take weeks.
Please love yourself.

Oh, yes, I'm up for a long chat with the Queen, and several of them. She would be worth the time. -

He said he was the most skilled small-talker he'd ever met in his life. There was a photo of the meeting hanging in the downstairs toilet (where else would you hang it?)

Well, Charles has to have some redeeming qualities. Is the toilet location a bit of a commentary? LOL
