The Queen's diary is being examined, and she is unlikely to return to some large public appearances, such as investing.
The 95-year-old monarch is not ill, according to sources, and is as committed to her duties as ever.
Senior royal advisers, as well as the Queen herself, are said to have realized that the 'frailties of a long life are finally catching up with her.

She will continue to attend public events as much as possible, but her public appearances will be considerably reduced. That means she will no longer be required to stand for hour-long public investitures, which will now be done by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and Princess Royal.
Buckingham Palace did not respond to a request for comment. The Royal Family, however, appreciates the importance of investments in recognizing service and celebrating people's contributions to society, according to a royal source, and there has been a strong push to catch up on the backlog generated by COVID-19 restrictions.
The announcement comes after the old monarch was forced to miss today's Commonwealth Day celebration due to illness. Buckingham Palace said on Friday that she had asked the Prince of Wales to represent her at Westminster Abbey, despite earlier in the week insisting she 'hoped' to be there.
Buckingham Palace had announced that she planned to attend three big events in March: the annual Diplomatic Reception, which was canceled owing to the situation in Ukraine, the Commonwealth Day service, and the Westminster Abbey ceremony of thanksgiving for her late husband on March 29, Daily Mail reported.
Apart from skipping the Commonwealth service, Queen Elizabeth is unlikely to meet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's grandchildren. According to top royal sources, Prince Harry gave Queen Elizabeth only 15 minutes' warning before publicly announcing that he would be skipping his grandfather's impending burial service, as per The Sun.
Prince Harry said on Friday that he will not attend the March 29 memorial ceremonies for his grandfather, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died at the age of 99 on April 9, 2021. The prince, who has pushed for protection for his family during any visit to the UK, said they would forgo the memorial because of safety concerns.
Lilibet Markle, Meghan Markle's and Prince Harry's second child, was born on June 4, 2021. Due to the prince's aversion to travel abroad, the Queen, who is 95 years old, is unlikely to meet her great-granddaughter, according to Page Six.
Prince Harry Snubs Queen Elizabeth II
In the meantime, Prince Harry was accused of snubbing Queen Elizabeth after saying he will miss her late husband's memorial service on Saturday, amid a legal dispute about his security protection in the United Kingdom.
While a spokeswoman confirmed that Prince Harry will not attend the Westminster Abbey service on March 29, he is expected to attend the Invictus Games, which begin two weeks later in the Netherlands.
After the UK government withdrew his royal biographer detail, royal author Angela Levin accused Harry of "blackmail" surrounding his grandpa Prince Philip's service.
Levin informed UK reporters that Prince Charles' second son has snubbed the Duke of Edinburgh (Philip), but actually, he is snubbing the queen. Prince Philip, who had been married to the queen for 73 years, died two weeks before his 100th birthday last April.
Only 30 mourners, including Harry, attended his funeral, which was held under tight coronavirus restrictions. The queen sat alone, following the rules of the government. Given the limited nature of the funeral, the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial ceremony this month is intended to serve as a national commemoration of his long life and service.
The burial was one of just two times Prince Harry has visited the UK since he and his wife Meghan left the royal family two years ago and came to North America. The UK government withdrew his taxpayer-funded protection on visits back to the UK as a result of their decision, a decision that Harry is contesting in court, South China Morning Post reported.
