Queen Elizabeth II will reportedly miss her Platinum Jubilee’s Service of Thanksgiving on Friday after experiencing “some discomfort.”

The 96-year-old monarch, Britain’s first ruler to celebrate 70 years on the throne, is being honored during a four-day celebration, which began Thursday with a Trooping of the Color and culminates Sunday with the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, according to Buckingham Palace. In a statement released Thursday, the Palace announced the queen would not be in attendance for Friday’s main event, the Thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, Fox News reported.

“The Queen greatly enjoyed today’s Birthday Parade and Flypast but did experience some discomfort,” the Palace said in the statement, according to Fox News. “Taking into account the journey and activity required to participate in tomorrow’s National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, Her Majesty with great reluctance has concluded that she will not attend.” (RELATED: Princes Harry and Andrew Won’t Be Joining Family To Celebrate Platinum Jubilee)

The queen has faced some health challenges in 2022. In February, she tested positive for COVID-19. In May, she canceled her appearance at the opening of the U.K. Parliament due to what the Palace described as “episodic mobility problems,” according to The Indian Express. Prince Charles has filled in for her during some major events, Fox News reported.

It was also reported in May that members of the Royal Family would stand in for the Queen during the traditional summer garden parties. The parties, which are usually attended by more than 30,000 people, are open to the public for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to BBC.

The Queen previously celebrated her 2012 Diamond, 2002 Gold and 1977 Silver Jubilees, each commemorating respective milestones on the throne, Fox News reported. Jubilee celebrations typically include events such as church services, military displays and other public ceremonies, according to the outlet.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
