Queen still plans to attend Platinum Jubilee celebrations next month after Prince Charles stands in for State Opening
The Monarch, 96, was forced to pull out of today's Queen's speech with mobility issues, despite a "wheelchair-friendly route" being discussed so she could make it.
The Queen is also expected to attend a service at St Paul's Cathedral the next day alongside the rest of the royal family, though her presence will likely not be confirmed until the day itself.The Monarch marked the official Jubilee in February 2022 when she met with charity workers at Sandringham House and cut a celebratory cake, in her largest in-person engagement since October.
It was only the third time during her reign that the Queen has not opened parliament - and the first time nearly 60 years.
