Are you just tired of a busy schedule at age 95 or seriously ill? Elizabeth 2ยช spent the night in the hospital for “examinations”, but the secrecy of the royal palace raised doubts about the king’s health.
And in a brief statement, Buckingham Palace announced, on Thursday evening, that the Queen entered London on Wednesday (20) for a medical examination and did not return to Windsor Castle until the next day.

For BBC royal family correspondent Nicholas Witchell, “Officials at Buckingham Palace did not give a full and reasonable picture of what was going on” and lamented that they had made his viewers believe the head of state, one of the most popular figures in the world. world, she was resting at her home while she was actually being taken to the hospital.
He pointed out that the “lack of good and reliable information” causes “rumors and misinformation to spread.” He also wondered if “we can trust what the palace is telling us now.”
For those who knew Elizabeth, such as Robert Hardman, who directed documentaries about the Queen, she would have withheld the truth because she “hates that people pay so much attention in general, but especially when it comes to her health”.
The British were quiet among the Londoners who passed on Friday in front of Buckingham Palace.
“At her age, it’s normal for her to get tested and get out of the hospital really, really fast,” Kirsty Duffield, director of a coaching firm, told AFP.
Retired Charlie Lloyd recalls that Mother Elizabeth lived to 101 years, and considers the royal family to have “good genes”.
He added, “People like this have a very easy life (…) which may be one of the reasons why they live so long.”
