The Queen.

None of those dogs look like cocker spaniels. The first one could be a cocker cross but it’s impossible to tell. Her Maj is a corgi/Dorgie woman. I expect there are working cockers and labs around given the RF enjoy shooting, they’ll need retrievers.

You’re a doggy person Jane; what do you think about Lissi?

I think a lot of very elderly people lost mobility during the pandemic, not doing what they usually do. The Queen’s life changed like everybody else’s.

They did, my Mum in law for one. I met with an OT and she said so many people were sent home from hospital during that time unable to meet the requirements mobility wise to be discharged but we were in a pandemic so different rules.

Goodness knows what the psychological impact is. I guess we wont know for years

The inset photo does look like a CS
Whether it’s because Lissi has had her fur cut short that she looks so different, I don’t know.

She doesn’t look like one!

If that is a cocker spaniel - I’ll eat my hat!

Should they be told??!

So what caused your doubt?

Here is another picture of Lissi, the ‘cocker spaniel’
It doesn’t make any sense, does it?
I can’t find any photos of her looking like a CS

WW that’s exactly what I thought! ?

I think Prince Charles is already taking over the reins quietly as his mother becomes more frail - and with her knowledge and consent. But she intends to remain Queen until she dies and the red boxes will still come to her.

Absolutely.

I am always amazed at those who seem to have insider information.
We can all speculate but who in fact knows what the Queens thoughts are?

Quite a few on GN seemingly! Eg she doesn’t want to be seen in a wheelchair ?? She misses Philip too much ?

I think she is still recovering from Covid; it leaves some people very tired even after what is considered a mild case. Reading an article, they said it was due to comfort of getting the Queen to and from the ceremony.

I'm not sure what is involved, or where the ceremony is. Does she need to walk about and inspect troops?

Seriously the Queen is 94, mobility seems to be an issue as she told an official visitor recently. It’s time for her to let Charles take some work from herb

Calendar girl, the daily Mail reported to this morning that the Queen doesnt want to use a wheelchair to help attend the Commonwealth service
It was in the daily Mail it must be true - so said a character in Dinner ladies

and she refuses to use a wheelchair?

Who says so? Has the Palace stated that she doesn’t want to use one? Or is it just assumed that she won’t?

I think it is sensible to let Prince Charles represent her at the Commonwealth service, but surely she will not miss Prince Philip’s memorial service at the end of March?

She always seems like a very pragmatic woman to me. It suits her agenda to let the future incombant take over the ropes.

Her husband died less than a year ago and they had a long and successful marriage. Look at any literature on the effect on health in the year after the loss of a long term partner and it will describe the marked effect it has.

The Queen is just showing that she is like everyone else in her position

Her mobility is the issue and she refuses to use a wheelchair .

On top of everything that others have posted, she has had Covid, which might have had more of an impact on an elderly
lady than we have been told.

Prince Phillip died only 11 months ago , after 74 years of marriage

HM has suffered some emotional distress over the last year or more. The death of Prince Philip must have left her feeling vulnerable and alone. I can understand her wanting to retreat from the limelight.

My mum is 94. She’s completely immobile now, and needs a hoist to get her into and out of bed. But before this, she had great difficulty getting into or out of a car, or lifting her foot to go up one small step, and she could only walk a few steps if she had her walker. Mainly, if she went out, she was in a wheelchair. Considering all of this, I think the Queen is having mobility issues. It appears she doesn’t want to be seen in a wheelchair, but even if she was okay with that, as I said, getting into or out of a car has its own difficulties.
