The monarch, 95, was being monitored last week after meeting with her son Prince Charles two days prior to his coronavirus diagnosis

Although Queen Elizabeth was being monitored last week after she met with son Prince Charles just two days before he tested positive for COVID-19, she’s now back to in-person meetings.

The monarch, 95, met with outgoing Defence Services Secretary Rear Admiral James Macleod as well as Major General Eldon Millar, who is taking over the position, at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.

The Queen used a walking cane, as she has during a number of appearances since October.

Queen Elizabeth also went without a mask for the meeting. People in Northern Ireland and England are no longer legally required to wear masks in most public spaces, although face coverings are still required in certain settings — such as in hospitals and on public transportation.
