Queen Elizabeth II is suffering from "episodic mobility problems" and will not attend the opening of Parliament, Buckingham Palace announced Monday.
Instead, Prince Charles will appear in her place Tuesday and deliver a speech with his son Prince William in attendance.
Elizabeth, 96, recently celebrated the 70-year mark of her time on the throne.

She’s had a long life, but hopefully she becomes well enough for her remainder of time here.

This grand woman is held in the highest regard, not only her subjects but people allover the world admire and appreciate her. She has carried herself with grace and dignity always. I pray she feels better. It is certainly time that she take a rest from the spotlight. God bless her. God save the Queen.

It would be nice if Parliament arrested Charles and declared William to be the heir apparent. Yeah, I know it’s not done that way. It’s just a suggestion.
Long live the Queen!

No one should be surprised at her absence from the ceremonies.
She is 95. Most people would not be bothered with all the tedium and pageantry after they became 75 y/o.

She has a lot more than her children. Too bad the dignity (at least) didn’t pass down. I won’t be too respectful of any of them.

William seems decent to me.
Kate as well.

Yes. I hope she can cut back a bit on her still-busy schedule, and enjoy life more. She has been such a symbol of service, dignity, and good humor for all of our lives. I’ll join in that FR chorus of “God Save the Queen.”

What about Captain Pike’s mobility chair? She wouldn’t even have to speak. One beep for yes and two beeps for no.
To: BenLurkin
It will be interesting to see who succeeds her. Charles? Or will he hand over to William?
To: EEGator
He may be. But didn’t he have some question about the Lolita Express and other peccadillos?
