Queen Elizabeth is eager to attend the memorial service for her late husband Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, but a game time decision will likely be made on whether she can attend, OK! The magazine reports that a decision will probably not be made until shortly before the service. Thanksgiving celebrates the life of the Duke of Edinburgh and his "devotion to family, state, and commonwealth." He passed away last April at the age of 99, but COVID-19 restrictions at the time limited his funeral to just 30 people.

Her Majesty the Queen recently missed the March 14 Commonwealth Day ceremony due to concerns over "comfort," reports OK! Currently, "Palace staff are scrambling to find new ways to make Her Majesty as comfortable as possible when she attends the memorial service, and are developing plans for a helicopter drop-off and privacy screens," the magazine said. [The Queen is] an extraordinary person. She has been energetic for years, but we must remember that she is 95 years old and not a superhuman," royal biographer Penny Juneau told the Daily Mail via OK! 'In other respects, the Queen is on a roll. The Queen is great at zooming calls, but any event that requires her to walk or climb stairs is no longer feasible."

Recent reports have also indicated that Her Majesty the Queen may miss the May 10 opening of the British Parliament. According to London's Sunday Times (via Page Six), the Queen will again decide that day whether she is fit for the task. The Queen has only missed the opening of Parliament twice in the past 70 years, the last time being just before the birth of Prince Edward in 1964.

"The date is in Her Majesty's diary and she wishes to attend," an unnamed royal source told The Sunday Times (opens in new tab). 'The Queen continues to be healthy and active and it is remarkable that she is still doing so much. But the Queen's diary reflects the reality of a woman of her age, and the pace has been adjusted to allow the Queen to continue doing as much as she can and wants to. All events are now scheduled so that if Her Majesty is unable to attend at short notice, other members of the royal family can still attend"

In the case of the opening of Parliament, if Her Majesty is unable to attend, the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, will deliver the throne speech.
