The monarch, 95, has been returning to more normal duties after previously suffering mild cold-like symptoms from COVID-19 and cancelling several engagements.

She continued light duties ever since announcing she had coronavirus on February 20.

Trudeau is in the United Kingdom to hold talks with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the international response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Queen has two high-profile events coming up – the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 14 and then the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service, also at the Abbey, on March 29.
