Queen Elizabeth has mobility problems, but she's trying her best to be present in major royal events. She even made a surprise appearance by joining the senior royals on the balcony during the Platinum Jubilee finale earlier this month. However, she looked frail in her most recent photo during Garter Day, according to reports.

In the snap, the Queen wears a white gown with a blue sash. She is also noticeably holding a walking stick.

The outlet noted that "Queen health fears erupts as frail monarch pictured with cane during Garter Day." The netizens echoed the same sentiment.

Queen Elizabeth Health Update

The Queen is already in her advanced years, but she is determined to serve the monarchy until her last breath. That's why she still attends royal engagements if her body allows it. The Queen has no other health problems aside from "episodic mobility," which the palace announced in May when she decided to cancel her attendance at the State Opening of Parliament.

"The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow," a statement from Buckingham Palace, Us Weekly reported. "At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read The Queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf, with The Duke of Cambridge also in attendance."

She also contracted COVID-19 in February after Prince Charles and Camilla's diagnoses. She was fully vaccinated and only experienced "mild, cold-like symptoms" at the time.

However, she is still experiencing the lingering effects of her bout with COVID-19, which was "tough on her" as it continues to leave her feeling "very fatigued."

"It [Covid] does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it?" the Queen said in a video call to the Royal London Hospital in April, BBC reported. "This horrible pandemic. It's not a nice result."

The Queen "has been advised by her loved ones and trusted advisors to go a lot easier on herself, even if it means missing more functions than she would like," an unnamed source told Us Weekly last month.
