Queen Elizabeth II Says She Was "Exhausted" Due to COVID
Queen Elizabeth II opened up about how she felt after testing positive for COVID-19.
The British royal shared her experience getting the disease during a virtual visit last week to the Royal London Hospital, claiming that she felt really tired after encountering the disease, New York Post reported.
The Queen made her comments while speaking to a former COVID-19 patient, Asef Hussain, who also detailed his experience. Hussain told Queen Elizabeth II that he stuck his head out of the window just to breathe and get extra oxygen.
"I'm glad that you're getting better, and It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it? This horrible pandemic. It's not a nice result," Queen Elizabeth II said to Hussain in reply.
The Queen then pointed out that having COVID is a "very frightening experience."
The Queen had a royal visit to the hospital due to the opening of the Queen Elizabeth Unit.
