The 95-year-old monarch, who has been fully vaccinated and had a booster shot, is experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

Mandatory Covid jabs AXED for NHS and care staff in '11th hour' government U-turn
01.02.2022 - 00:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Mandatory Covid jabs for NHS and care staff will be axed, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has confirmed.
The rule was set to be enforced from April, which meant if staff hadn't had their first dose by February 3, they would not be double vaccinated in time.
The '11th hour' u-turn comes amid fears that the need for healthcare workers to have a jab or potentially face the sack would have lead to a 'major staffing crisis.'

Previously, front line workers in the sector had been told that they needed to have two vaccinations against Covid-19 by April.
However on Monday, January 31, Health Secretary Sajid Javid told the House of Commons he believed it is “no longer proportionate” to require the vaccination as a condition of deployment under law.
He said it is only right to review the policy, given that the Delta variant, dominant at the time the policy was announced in November, has now been replaced by the less severe Omicron.
This, combined with greater population protection from vaccines, means it is “not only right but responsible to revisit the balance of risks and opportunities that guided our original decision last year”, he said.
But the news has allegedly caused "frustration" among NHS health leaders, as their teams raced to meet the deadline in a bid to save their jobs.
Announcing a consultation, he told the House of Commons: “Subject to the responses and the will of this house, the Government will revoke the regulations.
“I have always been clear that our rules must remain proportionate and balanced, and of course, should we see another dramatic change in the virus, it would be only responsible to review this policy again.”
