Queen Elizabeth II talks to Trudeau at Windsor

Queen Elizabeth II had to cancel several planned appearances because of her health after testing positive for COVID-19 last month. However, she has gradually eased back into resuming her royal duties! The queen made her first appearance since becoming ill at the beginning of March when she virtually spoke to the Ambassadors of Andorra and Chad.
