Since it was announced on Sunday that Queen Elizabeth II had been diagnosed with coronavirus, and had been experiencing mild, flu-like symptoms, the world has been on edge about her journey to recovery.
An official statement from the Palace confirming her diagnosis has assured the public that Queen Elizabeth II is fully vaccinated and has received her booster shot.
The statement also said that she is receiving medical attention and had planned to continue doing “light work” from Windsor Castle during her journey to recovery.
“The Queen has today tested positive for Covid-19. Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week. She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all appropriate guidelines,” said the statement.
The terms “Queen Elizabeth”, as well as “Lizzy”, have been trending on Twitter since midnight on Tuesday going into Wednesday, after news broke out that the monarch has passed away at the age of 95 due to complications from Covid-19.
Fans of the royal family can relax, however, as it has been reported that the Queen is not dead.
There is a very complex and detailed plan put in place for the day the longest-reigning monarch of England does indeed pass away. Neither Twitter nor an American blog will be counted among the first points of communication that the royal family, as well as Buckingham Palace, will choose to share such news.
Broadcast journalist and television host, Ricardo Brooks shared in a tweet that the BBC will be the first news channel to report the news after Queen Elizabeth’s Private Secretary has advised the British Prime Minister.
