Queen reportedly ‘taking it easy’ ahead of Jubilee celebrations

Her Majesty has been told to take things easy ahead the June celebrations.

The 96-year-old Monarch is still said to be struggling with the effects of Covid-19, as she looks to be in top shape for her Platinum Jubilee.

A source close to the Royal family spoke on the Queen’s need to take it easy ahead of June.

The royal insider told US Weekly: “[She] is still adjusting to her routine and charging up her batteries even now.

“The other factor here is that she wanted to be as close to full strength as possible for the Jubilee celebrations, which she’s been looking forward to immensely.

“By not [overexerting] herself it’s giving her more energy to participate in as many of the events as possible.”

Queen & Charles will be horrified by reports of Harry & Meg’s Netflix docu-series

THE Queen and Prince Charles will be “horrified” by reports of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new Netflix plans, a royal expert has said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly filming an “at home with the Sussexes”-style docuseries for the streaming giant as part of their multi-million pound deal.

US reports claim the couple have welcomed cameras into their £11million Montecito mansion to film candid content, as the Kardashians did for their fly-on-the-wall show.

But it’s unclear whether the Royal Family were briefed on the move, revealed just weeks before the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Royal biographer Angela Levin said a fly-on-the-wall series would be hypocritical after Prince Harry moaned royal life was similar to living in a zoo.

She also believes the series would come as another blow to the royals – and could “steal the enjoyment from the Queen” during her Platinum Jubilee.
