Queen Elizabeth is slowly taking over royal duties over health issues

It will be the first time in her 70-year reign that she will miss the salute at the Horse Guards Parade.


British Queen Elizabeth II, who recently celebrated her 96th birthday, is slowly discharging her royal duties over health issues.

According to media reports, the Queen will not be able to receive Trooping the Color Salute as she is facing 'episodic mobility problems'.

It will be the first time in her 70-year reign that she will miss the salute at the Horse Guards Parade.

Mirror UK reported that the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, his son Prince William and Princess Anne will be in his place during the military demonstration.

It will be the Queen's latest move to hand over her royal duties at the age of 96.

Last week, the Queen made a surprise appearance on a new railway line named in her honor, as health issues kept her from attending recent events.

The monarch has rarely attended events outside her royal residences until recently and due to ongoing mobility issues she missed the formal opening of parliament for only the third time on 10 May.

This has raised concerns about whether she will be able to attend key events next month for her platinum jubilee, which marks her 70 years on the throne.
