Queen Elizabethis back on her feet.
Just days after a sprained back caused the 95-year-old monarch to miss the Remembrance Sunday service, she welcomed General Sir Nick Carter, the Chief of the Defense Staff, in the Oak Room at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
In addition to it being her first official engagement since being absent from Sunday’s ceremony, it’s also her first in-person engagement since her October 20 hospitalization.

In a short message, Buckingham Palace announced early on Sunday, “The Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today’s Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph. Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service.”
