Royal author Angela Levin said: “I am delighted she did not go to church because she is perhaps listening and agreeing to temporarily step back.
“Going to church on a Sunday sounds just a small event but it is a very big thing for the Queen and for any woman of her age.
“She is very religious and it is very important personally for her to go to church every Sunday.
“But she has to come out of the nice little bubble she has at Windsor Castle, get in and out of cars and up and down in church. It is all exhausting.
“It is very sensible to give it a miss so she can do more in the future.”
