The queen, who just turned 94, has not emerged from Windsor Castle where she has been self-isolating since mid-March.
Will she ever return to the job she has carried out faithfully for all these decades?
Victoria Arbiter, CNN's royal commentator and the daughter of a former press secretary to the queen, is skeptical. "In my view, he's vastly overstating the situation," Arbiter says."The queen is very much still running the business of the monarchy." New pictures of her – riding one of her horses and a birthday portrait of her and her husband on his 99th birthday last week – have been released. A scaled down version of her annual birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, took place last week in the quadrangle of the castle, where she watched – socially distanced – and seemed delighted.to talk about her favorite horses over her decades of horse breeding and racing.
Smith acknowledges the queen has always said she must be seen to be believed, but it's not required to be daily. Yes, uncertainty is baked in to the current situation. Will there be a vaccine and an effective treatment? Until that's clear, prudence is necessary when dealing with nonagenarians, however well-cared for.
