Trust the courtiers. Christopher Biggins is an English show actor of various backgrounds in film, television and theatre. After his marriage to Mrs Beatrice Norbury, he preferred to have further marriages to Neil Sinclair, a secret companion, until the joint union was made public. Certain of his appearances on Big Brother provoked viewers’ reaction due to some vulgar antiSemitic comments and against gay people allegedly having AIDS. An odd guy, then, but with a reputation for knowing a lot about the House of Windsor. And so Mr Biggins blurted out that, as far as he knows, the Queen is now in a wheelchair, having used her cane to get around. The courtier added that His Majesty had absolutely no desire to be seen in that posture. Last week, Elizabeth II had received the Central Governor of Canada, Mary Simon, in the Oak Room of Windsor Castle, accompanied by her husband, but seven days later she preferred to video link with the two new ambassadors of Qatar and Poland, who they were , to speak from afar, had presented themselves at Buckingham Palace with the certifications of their predecessors. The Queen has royal pride and the image of the wheelchair had shaken her when Margaret showed up in these conditions at the Queen Mother’s grand 101st birthday party. The court did not comment on the indiscretion, which apparently made the rounds in editorial offices and television stations. Impossible to steal a single image of Elizabeth, who is no longer sitting on the throne but on a chair, as can happen to any person of these austere times. The kingdom does not seem to want to accept the idea of \u200b\u200bthe melancholy sunset of a character so unique for her dignity and patriotic spirit, but subjects cannot forget the fact that on April 21 the queen will turn ninetysix and is preparing for a series of national ceremonies in his honor. Elizabeth II went through wars and tragedies but never showed any aspect of weakness or modesty. The appearance of the walking stick had already changed the habits of a ruler who, two weeks ago, had herself photographed on horseback in the palace gardens. But the final move from Buckingham to Windsor was the first sign that His Majesty had now decided to leave the stage, from official and public ceremonies, to face that period of his existence remote from the crowds and guests he was not as intended could honor the protocol. That Biggin gossip has ruined the court’s discretion, but it’s not out of the question that Elizabeth II might want to deny the gossip and prepare to ever present herself as queen. His wheelchair is still a throne.
