The 95-year-old queen was expected to attend this official engagement in person.
The Earl of Wessex, youngest son of the Queen isabel II, will take the place of his mother on Tuesday when delivering a speech before the General Synod, in the national assembly of the Church of England, a fact that adds to the concern for the health of the monarch.
The 95-year-old queen was expected to attend this official engagement in person, although last weekend she could not be on the so-called Remembrance Sunday, a tribute to the fallen in combat, after having suffered a muscle problem.
Elizabeth II is currently at her residence in Windsor, on the outskirts of London, taking care of only light tasks virtually.
Today her young son, Eduardo, attends a service held at Westminster Abbey; opens the Synod on behalf of the queen and will instead read an address to bishops and clergy at Church House, the headquarters of the Church of England in Westminster.
According to the website of the General Synod, among the acts planned during today’s ceremony is a speech by arzobispo de Canterbury, Justin Welby, welcoming the earl, as well as the aforementioned intervention of Prince Edward on behalf of his mother – Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
In the last weeks Elizabeth II’s health has been a national concern. Before announcing that she could not be at the memorial service for those killed in combat this Sunday, one of her favorite commitments on her annual schedule, the queen canceled a two-week trip to Northern Ireland; he canceled his presence at the climate summit in Glasgow – Cop26 – and had to rest for almost a month in recent weeks.
