For the first time in 52 years, Queen Elizabeth II, who will turn 96, will not attend the Easter Sunday service in Windsor Castle on the 17th, CNN reported. This is the Queen's second absence from public events after missing the royal family's "Royal Maundy Service" on the 14th, but other members of the royal family are expected to attend the Easter service on the 17th as scheduled.

Queen Elizabeth II, the head of the Church of England, has recently reduced her attendance at public events due to mobility issues. Although Queen Elizabeth II attended the memorial service for her late husband, Prince Philip, in March, she did not attend the Royal Maundy Service on the 14th of this month, which is an important event before Easter in the royal calendar.

This is the first time since 1970 that the Queen has not attended Royal Maundy Service. In her place, Crown Prince Charles followed the tradition and sent special commemorative coins for " Royal Maundy Service " to the elderly. The number of people who are eligible to receive each year is related to the Queen's age. The Queen turned 96 on April 21 this year, so the eligible recipients are 96 men and 96 men.

The Queen was diagnosed with COVID in February this year and has mild cold symptoms but continues to perform light work at Windsor Castle; although she is currently in good health, she has some problems with her mobility. Recently, she has gradually appointed other senior members of the royal family to attend public events.
