According to a US report, insiders are saying people are worried it’s a sign that the Queen is not well.
“It was a shock to say the least,” a royal insider told Globe.
“The State Opening of Parliament is a sacred ceremony and wearing the crown is part of it. People were whispering, under their breath, ‘It’s true — she’s terribly ill and will be gone soon.’ ”
According to the publication, her majesty is ‘secretly battling bladder cancer and is too weak to survive an operation and chemo’ as such, her son Charles has seized control of the throne until she recovers.
What’s more the tabloid claims that this will be her ‘last official public appearance’.
“Her failure to wear the crown is stirring up fears that she hasn’t got long to live,” says a royal courtier.
“And word is that while Charles says his regency is temporary, he really has no plans on giving up the throne.”
