Queen Elizabeth II officially became the United Kingdom’s longest-reigning ruler back in 2015, according toCBS News.
In the years since, she’s continued her royal duties amid aging and health concerns.
In June, the UK celebrated the queen’s historic tenure on the throne with her Platinum Jubilee.
It was this situation that had someroyal fans worried about Queen Elizabeth’s health.
The queen’s horse tripped, which caused her to fall, Buckingham Palace told reporters at the time.
At 67, Queen Elizabeth still seemed eager to be active with hobbies she loves, like horse riding.
Despite her age now, Queen Elizabeth still rides her horses in 2022, according toThe Sun.
PerCNN archives, the queen had a “successful operation to remove a torn cartilage.”
She had apparently hurt herself during a visit to Newmarket, according to9News.
According toCBS News, while the surgery was just 45 minutes long, the queen underwent anesthesia.
However, since the operation was so minor, she did not appoint a temporary regent.
The queen recovered from her knee surgery in Norfolk at her Sandringham home, according to CNN.
Her hospital stay in 2013 for gastroenteritis
The queen stayed in good health for the next decade.
However, in 2013, Queen Elizabeth II was taken to the hospital for gastroenteritis, according toThe Guardian.
Buckingham Palace said the hospital stay was a “precautionary measure.”
The queen left the hospital with a smile on her face after a few days, perCNN.
The two were forced to postpone holiday travel plans to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
However, they only had to postpone their trip by one day, according toMercury News.
The heartbreaking death of Prince Philipcame more than four years later in April 2021.
More health issues arise in late 2021
2021 was a tumultuous year for the queen’s health.
According toUs Weekly, Queen Elizabeth faced multiple health complications.
However, the year started on a good note with her vaccination against the COVID-19 virus.
The next month, Queen Elizabeth missed the annual Remembrance Day Service after suffering a back injury.
“Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service.”
Despite her mobility problems, the queen was still in good spirits.
Later that month, Queen Elizabeth tested positive for COVID-19 (viaVanity Fair).
However, the palace said she had “mild cold-like symptoms.”
Later, the queen described her experience with the coronavirus with another former COVID-19 patient, Asef Hussain.
“I’m glad that you’re getting better …
It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn’t it?
It’s not a nice result,” she said, according toCNN.
Usually, the queen leads a procession and speaks.
She was able to attend the annual Trooping the Colour parade and the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
At 96, the Platinum Jubilee was more than likely the last Jubilee in the queen’s lifetime.
We can only wish for her happiness and good health!
