While I do miss the sights of a full House of Commons and Lords with HM in her crown, it's still wonderful to see this most important event happening again. This is HM's first public duty since the death of the DoE.

The 95-year-old Queen prepares to increase her workload so she can ?get back out and about? ? Royal Central

Over the coming weeks, we can expect a series of high profile engagements to be announced, including a meeting with President Biden of the United States and other world leaders ahead the G7 summit.

Her Majesty is also expected to return to Scotland shortly, conducting a week long itinerary of engagements there, alongside a few other high profile events.

A royal insider told the Daily Telegraph: ?There is a strong desire from Her Majesty to get back out and about.?

There has long been chatter and speculation in royal circles that The Queen might wish to start taking things more slowly once she reaches 95, perhaps even making Prince Charles regent.

However, it seems nothing could be further from the truth, with The Queen set to have a busy second half of the year depending on government restrictions.
