Queen Elizabeth II Tests Positive For Covid

Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for Covid, Buckingham Palace announced today.

The monarch is experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms” but expects to continue “light duties” at Windsor over the coming week, the palace said.

“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” it added in a statement.

The Queen, 95, had been in contact with her eldest son and heir, the Prince of Wales, who tested positive last week.

It is understood a number of people have tested positive at Windsor Castle, where the Queen resides.

The announcement comes weeks after the UK’s longest reigning monarch reached her Platinum Jubilee of 70 years on 6 February.

On the eve of her Jubilee, she carried out her first major public engagement for more than three months, meeting charity workers at Sandringham House.

The Queen, who will be 96 in April, had her first vaccine in January 2021 and is believed to have had all her follow-up jabs after that.

Prince Charles, 73, tested positive on 10 February – he met with the Queen on 8 February. Covid symptoms generally appear from two to 14 days after exposure to the virus.

Prince Charles’ wife, the Camilla Parker-Bowles, 74, tested positive for the virus last week, days after her husband.

It was the first time the duchess had caught Covid, and the second time for Prince Charles.

The announcement comes days before England is expected to drop the legal requirement to self-isolate for those who test positive, as the last virus restrictions are set to be removed.

Prince Andrew Settles Sexual Abuse Lawsuit With His Victim Virginia Giuffre

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reached a settlement in the sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Ms Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies revealed the settlement in a motion filed with US District Judge Lewis Kaplain on Tuesday.

The lawsuit alleged Andrew sexually abused Virginia as a teenager on multiple occasions in London, Manhattan, and the US Virgin Islands in 2001, when she was 17, allegations that he strongly denied. Who would admit to this?

Prince Andrew’s legal team sought to have the case dismissed, arguing that another 2009 settlement between Virginia and Jeffrey Epstein barred him from liability.

However Judge Kaplan denied that bid in January, paving the way for a trial that will no longer happen under the new settlement, the terms of which have not been revealed.

A document submitted to a US court on Tuesday said that Andrew and Virginia had reached an out of court settlement.

It said he would make a “substantial donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity”.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Wishes Camilla Parker-Bowles To Be Queen Consort

Camilla Parker-Bowles

In a recent letter on the eve of Her Majesty’s 70th anniversary since becoming the Monarch of many colonies. Queen Elizabeth, 95, expressed her “sincere wish” that the Duchess of Cornwall will be known as Queen Consort when, Charles, Prince of Wales becomes King.

No.

I hope this Jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours and communities. ~
Her Majesty The Queen

What about Meghan and Harry?

Tomorrow, 6th February, marks the 70th anniversary of my Accession in 1952. It is a day that, even after 70 years, I still remember as much for the death of my father, King George VI, as for the start of my reign.

As we mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I gave in 1947 that my life will always be devoted to your service.

As I look ahead with a sense of hope and optimism to the year of my Platinum Jubilee, I am reminded of how much we can be thankful for. These last seven decades have seen extraordinary progress socially, technologically and culturally that have benefitted us all; and I am confident that the future will offer similar opportunities to us and especially to the younger generations in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth.

I am fortunate to have had the steadfast and loving support of my family.

I was blessed that in Prince Philip I had a partner willing to carry out the role of consort and unselfishly make the sacrifices that go with it. It is a role I saw my own mother perform during my father’s reign.

This anniversary also affords me a time to reflect on the goodwill shown to me by people of all nationalities, faiths and ages in this country and around the world over these years. I would like to express my thanks to you all for your support. I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me. And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.

And so as I look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart, I hope this Jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours and communities – after some difficult times for so many of us – in order to enjoy the celebrations and to reflect on the positive developments in our day-to-day lives that have so happily coincided with my reign.

If I recall, when Charles married Camilla it was under the guise that she will never be Queen.

When King Edward VIII wanted to marry Wallis Simpson he had to abdicate the throne, as marriage was deemed morally unacceptable,  because remarriage after divorce was opposed by the Bible and the Church of England. He subsequently became the Duke Of Windsor and Wallis became the Duchess of Windsor.

We at Royal Wives, do not forget. We have tried to remain impartial to all the nonsense that has befallen the Moutbatten-Windsors; favoritism, racism, rape, prejudice etc. It stops here and we will not be silenced.

Camilla Parker-Bowles will never be titled, or called Queen on this small site. She will never be considered Queen of any country. Charles may have married his mistress, and ostracized his alleged least favorite child due to his alleged racism, but we take a stand.

We remember how Princess Diana Of Wales was treated and we remember how her son, Prince Harry, Duke Of Sussex, his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and their children, Archie and Lili Mountbattern-Windsor were and are still being treated, because of their refusal to fall in line.
