Late Prince Philip’s memorial is scheduled for Tuesday, March 29 at Westminster Abbey, though The Palace has yet to confirm if the Queen will be able to attend, only stating that she wishes to.

Royal author Robert Jobson told the Royally US podcast: “I’m sure that she’d desperately want to be there, but if she can’t, she can’t and she’ll be well represented by her eldest son, the Prince of Wales.”

The Queen has reduced her duties recently, missing the Commonwealth Service earlier this month, with sources claiming she is hesitant to be seen in public due to her wheelchair use.

Since October 2021, when she began experiencing mobility concerns, the Queen has used a walking stick in public. Her Majesty was placed on doctors’ orders to rest at the time.

Her Majesty’s absence from the Commonwealth Day celebrations could have set a precedent for other major royal engagements in the future. Emily Nash, royal editor said, “At nearly 96, it’s remarkable that the Queen is as engaged and committed to her duties as ever. But she is not as mobile as she once was and inevitably, she is no longer able to carry out some of the physical elements of her work as she would want to.”

“It makes total sense that aides are factoring in her comfort when looking at her schedule from now on”

According to the report, close friends of Prince Philip, colleagues, and representatives of organizations he supported, will also be in attendance.
