The Queen's late-night TV viewing and busy schedule of public engagements since lockdown restrictions were lifted have left her 'knackered', sources have claimed.

Since returning from Balmoral this month, Her Majesty, 95, has undertaken 19 public engagements, including marking the Royal British Legion's centenary at Westminster Abbey and opening the Scottish and Welsh parliaments.

According to the Sunday Times, the 95-year-old monarch was 'very into' the hit police drama and was said to have 'enjoyed' chatting about the show's intricate plot line with one of her closest aides Sir Tony Johnstone-Burt - the man in charge of the mission to protect the Queen and Prince Philip at the beginning of the pandemic. .

But while the Queen is said to be intent on getting 'back to business' after isolating at Windsor, a royal source told The Times: 'She is knackered.' .

The Queen's has undertaken 19 public engagements, including marking the Royal British Legion's centenary at Westminster Abbey, since restrictions were eased.

Alongside her public engagements, the monarch has maintained 'a constant flow of lunches and dinners with family and friends' and still rides regularly.

Senior aides at Buckingham Palace are scrambling to devise a strategy for managing the Queen's workload after being accused of misleading the public over her health.

The Queen's courtiers faced extensive criticism last week for failing to inform the public that she had been admitted to King Edward VII's Hospital in London on Wednesday and stayed there overnight for tests. .

While Prince Philip retired from public life, aged 96, in 2017, the Queen has been determined to carry on working and has been on sparkling form at engagements since his death in April.

'She doesn't want to end up constantly in hospital because she is exhausted,' said royal biographer Ingrid Seward. .

Ms Seward urged Prince Charles to shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the Queen is not overworked, adding: 'They can divide the duties between other members of the family but Charles has to take a stand and say to his mother, 'Enough is enough.'.

Ms Bedell Smith said: 'When something happens like that, to preserve their credibility, they should issue bulletins in a timely way.'?
