Kate Middleton has shared
an update on the Queen’s health following the monarch’s decision to not
attend the Service of Thanksgiving, which was held at St Paul’s Cathedral
on Friday.
The Duchess of Cambridge,
along with her husband, Prince William, went along to a reception held at
Guildhall by the former Lord Mayor where she spoke to an attendee who asked how
Her Majesty was doing.
The attendee, named Gill
Smallwood from Bolton, told PA that Kate had said in response to her query:
“Yes, she [the Queen] was fine, it was just very tiring yesterday”
before adding that the monarch “had had a lovely, lovely time.”
On Thursday evening, it was
announced by Buckingham Palace that the Queen would not be attending Friday’s
scheduled events for her Platinum Jubilee due to feeling
“discomfort”.
A statement explained that Her
Majesty “greatly enjoyed her birthday celebration and the flypast in
London during the Trooping the Colour parade.”

Trooping the Colour on Thursday. Kate told Gill that the three children
“had a lovely time”, attending the ceremony.
