The Queen has reportedly been warned by Palace aides to ‘pace herself’ ahead of Prince Philip‘s memorial later this month, latest news claims.

Senior royal aides have apparently accepted that the “frailties that come with living a long life” are catching up with the Queen.

However, sources told the publication that Her Majesty is still “as committed to her duties of state as ever”.

ED! has contacted reps for Buckingham Palace for comment.

It comes after reports claimed that the Queen hasn’t been “well enough” to walk her beloved Corgis and Dorgis for the past six months.

The insider claimed: “The Queen usually turns to her beloved corgis in time of crisis and stress and took them out almost every day after Philip fell ill and then died last year.

“They are an enormous source of solace, so it is a real shame.”
