The Queen will continue to attend public engagements following the death of her husband – a lifelong commitment she has made from a young age.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the 94-year-old monarch has always carried out a full programme of engagements and has links to more than 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organisations.
She famously pledged her life to the Commonwealth in a radio address from Cape Town on her 21st birthday in 1947.
As a young woman, the then Princess Elizabeth said: “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”
