Does This Royal Adventure Mean Good Things For The Queen's Health?
Lately, the Queen of England's health has been up in the air. She reportedly visited the hospital recently, but the reasoning behind the stay has been kept under wraps. Royal commentator Rebecca English shared with Express that Buckingham Palace only confirmed that the Queen was in the hospital because word began to leak out about it. It seems they were attempting to keep any health scares she may have been experiencing away from the public eye.
Queen Elizabeth is now 95 years old, which means she could be experiencing some health complications that come with age. However, she doesn't feel old whatsoever. "Her Majesty believes you are as old as you feel, as such the Queen does not believe she meets the relevant criteria to be able to accept and hopes you find a more worthy recipient," Tom Laing-Baker, the queen's assistant private secretary, told Reuters.
Regardless of how young she may feel, Queen Elizabeth certainly gave people a scare with her recent visit to the hospital. Now, there's new evidence to suggest that her health may not be a concern after all.
Queen Elizabeth is traveling by helicopter
The queen is on the move! According to The Mirror, her doctor gave her the clearance to travel by helicopter to her country home in Sandringham. She was reportedly delighted to make the trek, and many celebrated the fact that she was able to fly.
According to the Medical Air Service, getting on a plane or helicopter while suffering from an illness can be risky. There's a chance of experiencing oxygen troubles, amongst other side effects, depending on what the diagnosis is. Ultimately, a doctor has to give the go-ahead before a patient can fly, and with the Queen getting medical clearance, it looks like she's in fair health!
While the details about her hospital stay are vague, she's reportedly in good spirits, per the BBC. She was advised to rest up before a busy week of speaking engagements and is doing well. So well, in fact, that she was able to hop aboard a helicopter and head to her home in the countryside!
