There is greater need for the Queen to be "front and centre" of the Royal Family ahead of a difficult 2022, an expert has warned.
It is facing a wave of bad publicity in 2022, royal commentator Daniela Elser has claimed..
The twin issues of Prince Harry's “tell-all” book and court hearings related to Virginia Giuffre’s sex abuse lawsuit against Prince Andrew are expected dominate the news agenda.
And Ms Elser says the Royal Family will need some positive publicity to prevent 2022 becoming an “annus horribilis”.
The Queen has brought stability to the palace through 70 years of changing times and attitudes which has not been an easy thing to do.
But she is now said to be in declining health and suffering from what appear to be problems with her mobility.
Her Platinum Jubilee celebrations begin in February and peak during an extended June bank holiday, which may balance the bad news coming from her son and grandson.
Ms Esler writes in News.com.au that the Royal Family is in for a tough 2022 and the Platinum Jubilee may be chance to remind the public of its better qualities.
And she added on News.com.au : "There will be an even greater need for the Queen to be front and centre in the coming year to keep the royal brand from being submerged by the oncoming tide of negative press."
But the monarch's absence from this Sunday’s Remembrance Day ceremony has led to concerns about how visible the monarch might be over the coming year.
The Times, meanwhile, reported: “It is understood that there was concern about the Queen, 95, having to stand on the Foreign Office balcony for up to half an hour, as well as having to endure the car journey from Windsor and back again.”
Tom Sykes, writing in The Daily Beast, says that concerns about Her Majesty’s health “have been building in royal circles ever since the death of her husband in April”.
The Queen tried to get back to work quickly after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.
But one palace insider told The Times her attempt to throw herself back into work has been “too much,” while another aid she is simply “knackered”.
The monarch is currently only undertaking ”light, desk based” duties on medical advice.
She has also been advised by her doctors to give up her regular lunchtime gin and Dubonnet and her evening Martini.
The back sprain which sidelined her from the Remembrance Sunday ceremony should only take two or three weeks to heal.
But the Queen has already given up her lunchtime gin, Dubonnet and evening Martini reportedly on medical advice and has begun using a walking stick.
She is fond of horse riding, but has stayed away from the stables after experiencing “quite a bit of discomfort” in the saddle.
