Monarch misses her day with WI
THE Queen has missed her annual trip to Sandringham Women’s Institute – and even a virtual get together has been ruled out.
She has been a member of her local group in Norfolk since 1943.
But the institute has suspended meetings since March last year due to the pandemic.
The Queen, 94, is president of the group. She usually attends a meeting at the end of January during her winter stay on her estate in Norfolk.
But Yvonne Browne, chair of Sandringham WI, said it had proved impracticable this year.
She said: “Our last meeting was in February. We haven’t gone down the virtual route because a lot of my members are not computer friendly.”
