The queen will not attend church on Easter Sunday, in the latest sign of the monarch’s failing health. Although Buckingham Palace did not give a reason for the absence, Her Majesty is known to be suffering with mobility problems. The Daily Beast recently reported that the queen is now regularly using a wheelchair at her home, Windsor Castle. However her reluctance to be seen publicly in a wheelchair has led to her pulling out of an increasing number of engagements, including the “Maundy Thursday” pre-Easter celebration at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor on Thursday. Last month, she walked into Westminster Abbey for a memorial to her late husband, supported some of the way by the arm of her son Andrew, who recently settled a multimillion-dollar sex-abuse case with accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre. The queen is believed to be conserving her energy for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June marking the 70th year of her reign.
