The public drew attention to problems with the stiffness of the Queen’s movements back in October 2021. Then for the first time she began to walk with a cane without medical indications, but for convenience.
Then, in October, Elizabeth II had to spend the night in the hospital. Buckingham Palace clarified that she followed the recommendations of doctors about the necessary rest. At the clinic, she was given “some preliminary investigations”. After that, she began to miss public events, such as the UN climate change conference in Glasgow. And in November, due to a stretched back, the queen was unable to attend the ceremony as part of Memorial Day.
“The transfer of power is already underway”
In the UK, they noticed that the Queen could begin the transfer of power to Prince Charles. So, the historian Ed Owens noticed that the son of Elizabeth II is increasingly replacing his mother at official events, and also took up the assignment of titles, which was part of the duties of the queen.
