Royal Family News: Queen Elizabeth Is Enduring The “Most Difficult” Period Of Her Life

British royal family news reveals that Queen Elizabeth has had a tumultuous year as 2021 draws to a close. In April she lost her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip. In October she was hospitalized overnight for an undisclosed illness and in November she has been sidelined by her doctors from undertaking public duties. And throughout the year she has had to deal with the tantrums and rants of her royal runaway grandson Prince Harry.

It should come as no surprise then that it’s being reported that Her Majesty has doubled down on her work habits, something that she takes “comfort” in after going through the, “most difficult time of her reign.”

Prince Philip died at the age of 99 in April. He passed away at Windsor Castel, surrounded by his loved ones. After a brief period of mourning, the queen was back to a rigorous work schedule. Was it too much, too soon?

That’s impossible to know, and only the queen knows what her limits are. But if she is pouring herself into her work as a means of keeping her mind off of any troubles, it may have backfired and led to her recent medical scares.
