The Queen doesn’t appreciate fuss

She’s in a situation where she can be well taken care of.
She’s aware that a large number of individuals, particularly those her age, have been vulnerable to COVID at this time, and she’ll follow the advise she’s given, but she’s pretty stalwart.
The Queen has always known she would get it one day.
She is more than ready to deal with what she encounters, for a feisty and determined lady in her mid-90s.
