Though the queen found her physical ailment to be “incredibly frustrating,” she enjoyed the celebrations to the best of her ability. “The Jubilee exceeded the queen’s expectations and more,” the source said. “In real life, she’s modest and understated so was blown away by the nation uniting together to share their love, appreciation and support.”
