Back in the swing of things! Queen Elizabeth has resumed her official duties after testing positive for COVID-19.

On March 1, the matriarch held two virtual engagements. "Today the Queen held audiences with incoming ambassadors via video link from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace," a caption on the royal family's Instagram page read. "His Excellency Mr. Carles Jordana Madero, Ambassador from Andorra and His Excellency Mr. Kedella Younous Hamidi, Ambassador from Chad."

Photos show the Queen on a computer screen, where she was was seen in a green dress. The mother-of-four was diagnosed with the Coronavirus on February 20, and since she began feeling under the weather, she was forced to cancel a few virtual engagements.

She only had mild symptoms, and her former physician Dr. Anne Hemming told The Sun that she's in great hands. Plus it helps that she's received her vaccinations and booster shot.

"Whatever is necessary is available and her medical team will be doing what they do when anyone is unwell," she shared. "This means making sure she is comfortable and having access to the people she needs when she needs them."

"She’s showed extraordinary courage and is thankful for all the love and support she’s received, and as long as she feels able to work that’s what she’ll continue to [do]," stated an insider. "It’s typical of her selfless character and everyone is just in awe of her resolve and bravery. She’s truly one of a kind and an example to everyone around her."

This past weekend, the Queen took a trip to spend time with Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three kids, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3.

Spending time with her family has surely helped her feel better. "The Queen is in her element when ... having that family time," royal expert Kerene Barefield previously said to Us Weekly. "I'm sure it’s something that we’ll never ever get to witness — that kind of really relaxed family time."
