The Queen enjoyed a family reunion on Sunday, over a week
after testing positive for coronavirus.
The monarch, 95, headed to Frogmore on her Windsor Estate
and gathered with Princess Beatrice and her daughter Sienna, as well as the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three
children, Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte,
six, and three-year-old Louis.
Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack
Brooksbank, and their one-year-old son August were not at home, having recently
traveled to America to spend time with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie, two, and
eight-month-old Lilibet Diana.

Since her diagnosis, the Queen has canceled several engagements, the
last one being a reception that was scheduled to be held on
Wednesday.
In a statement last week, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen has
accepted the Foreign Secretary’s advice that the Diplomatic Reception at
Windsor on Wednesday 2nd March should be postponed.”
If the reception had gone ahead, then Her Majesty would have been
meeting with hundreds of members from the Diplomatic Corps.

The reunion came just a day after William and Kate took George to watch the rugby
Earlier in the week, Her Majesty had to postpone virtual meetings but
carried on with light duties.
A spokesman said on Thursday: “The two virtual audiences that had
previously been scheduled to take place today will now be rescheduled for a
later date. Her Majesty is continuing with light duties. No other engagements
are scheduled for this week.”
Light duties are thought to include going through her red boxes and
signing off official papers.
