New appointment in attendance for Queen Elizabeth, the second after the Covid infection announced in mid-February by the court with "mild symptoms similar to a cold".
The almost 96-year-old sovereign now healed today received a key man of the Kingdom in Windsor Castle on the front of the crisis triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We are talking about Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, outgoing commander of the British Royal Navy and recently Chief of Defense General Staff.
Two days ago Elizabeth II, after a series of commitments, including virtual ones, which she had been forced to forfeit in recent weeks, had reappeared for a first audience in the presence granted to the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who was visiting London.
Today's images showed the sovereign - 96 years old on April 21 - in discreet form in conversation with the very high naval officer, appointed in recent months at the supreme summit of the operational coordination of all the British armed forces by the government of Boris Johnson.
Shortly before meeting His Majesty Radakin he praised the resistance of the Ukrainians. Resistance also exalted days ago by the heir to the throne Charles and Prince William.
