Hope she gets well soon.

The news doesn’t seem to be in cinque as just now on radio 4 it said the queen has a mild cold

VioletSky Sun 20-Feb-22 12:33:29

Wishing her a speedy recovery

Nothing can happen to the Queen! The kingdom would fall! (Or perhaps I should say the Queendom.)

BlueSky Sun 20-Feb-22 12:16:39

Got the news from the Australian press, before seeing it on the BBC. Of course they are so many hours ahead of us! wink

FannyCornforth Sun 20-Feb-22 12:10:58

She’ll have access to the antivirals too, I should imagine

ShazzaKanazza Sun 20-Feb-22 12:10:46

I hoping that she’s had it a few days and they’ve waited to see how she is before releasing the news. ?she carries on only having light symptoms. She’ll have the best care.

Lemsip I would always check several news sources before posting something like that.

FannyCornforth Sun 20-Feb-22 12:10:18

How do they/ we know that she didn’t catch it from Charles?

GrannyGravy13 Sun 20-Feb-22 12:09:25

Hopefully it’s omicron, I guess she is fully vaccinated and any symptoms will be mild.

tanith Sun 20-Feb-22 12:08:30

Thanks FCforth

Casdon Sun 20-Feb-22 12:05:26

I’m glad she didn’t catch it from Charles, he would feel dreadful if she had. Hopefully her symptoms will remain mild.

foun it now.
................................bbc news....
The Queen has tested positive for Covid, Buckingham Palace has said.

The palace said the monarch is experiencing "mild cold-like symptoms" but expects to continue "light duties" at Windsor over the coming week.

Her Majesty is in my thoughts.
I hope she has a speedy recovery.

lavendermine Sun 20-Feb-22 12:02:17

Oh dear, sorry to hear this. Get well soon.

Galaxy Sun 20-Feb-22 12:01:49

It's on sky news. BBC tends to be slower.

lemsip Sun 20-Feb-22 11:59:46

where did you get that information? I news watch all the time and have not found it.

Josieann Sun 20-Feb-22 11:59:14

I hope she will be ok. She could certainly do without that.

merlotgran Sun 20-Feb-22 11:58:02

Just heard this on the news. What a horrible time she’s having right now.

Thoughts, prayers, fingers crossed etc,. For a speedy recovery.

FannyCornforth Sun 20-Feb-22 11:57:43

I’ve asked for it to be changed tanith
It’s the first I have heard about it.
Quite worrying thanks

tanith Sun 20-Feb-22 11:54:58

Gosh that of course should say has, sorry maybe it could be corrected.

tanith Sun 20-Feb-22 11:53:26

She has tested positive with mild symptoms, let’s hope it stays that way. I truly hope she comes through it.

Those of you with faith maybe say a little prayer ??
