How to live like a queen – Her Majesty’s daily routine to live to 96

Published

on

What can we learn about living From Britain’s longest-reigning monarch?

Despite living a life of luxury, The Queen preferred a modest and structured approach when it came to her wellbeing.

The Queen did not bother with intense workouts.

She preferred “sensible exercise” like walking her corgis and riding horses, according to the author of “Long Live the Queen!”

When it came to walks, they were not a stroll in the park.

In a speech given when the Queen and Prince Philip visited the U.S. in 1991, then-president GeorgeBush complimented her on her long walks that “left even the Secret Service panting.”

Biographer Sally Bedell Smith once said Elizabeth’s endurance is “striking.”

After a long day of tightly packed events, the tour organizer recounts the moment her Canadian tour guide suddenly realised he had not given the queen one moment’s break, not even to use the loo.

“You need not worry,” said her private secretary. “Her Majesty is trained for eight hours.”

She was fit – but has never lifted a dumbbell, hopped on an elliptical, tracked her heart rate, or done anything resembling a squat, lunge, crunch, press, or curl in a gym environment.

Instead, she preferred a calm walk instead.

She enjoyed time in nature and exploring the Scottish countryside, where she spent her final moments in Balmoral.

The Queen also enjoyed simple meals with a bit of chocolate and gin, never smoked and got good sleep.

So eating a balanced diet, walking, and maintaining a healthy weight — as the Queen did — are key to having a long and healthy life.

Investor sentiment is improving as fresh data out of the US and Australia shifts expectations for central bank action.

Stronger-than-expected labour market figures in Australia have raised questions about whether the Reserve Bank will move ahead with a rate cut next week. While the RBA has signalled it is watching data closely, the resilience in employment may force a delay.

Meanwhile, in the US, softer inflation data has lifted hopes that the Federal Reserve could cut rates later this year. That news helped spark a sharp turnaround in US equities, with the so-called “sell America” trade now unwinding as buyers return to Wall Street.

Trump’s AI deals in the Middle East spark division over national security risks and concerns over China ties.

In Short:
Trump’s AI deals with Saudi Arabia and the UAE are causing internal conflicts in his administration over US national security. Officials are concerned that American technology supplied to the Gulf could ultimately benefit China, leading to calls for enhanced legal protections.

President Donald Trump’s recent AI deals in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are causing internal conflicts within his administration.

Concerns are rising among officials, particularly China hawks, about the implications for US national security and economic interests.

Agreements include shipments of vast quantities of semiconductors from Nvidia and AMD to the Gulf states, prompting fears that American technology could ultimately benefit China, given the region’s ties with Beijing.

While the accords include clauses to limit Chinese access to the chips, some officials argue that further legal protections are necessary.

Critics, including Vice President JD Vance, have suggested that maintaining US dominance in AI is crucial, and shipping chips abroad might undermine that goal.

Supporters of the deals, including AI Adviser David Sacks, argue the need for American technology in the Gulf to deter reliance on Chinese alternatives.

Despite this, internal discussions are underway to potentially slow down or reassess the agreements due to ongoing national security concerns.

Conversations have also included proposals for a significant chip manufacturing facility in the UAE, which many officials deem risky due to China’s influence.

Additionally, worries persist about G42, an AI firm in Abu Dhabi, which has historical ties to Huawei.

The agreements with Gulf countries promise to enhance their technological capabilities while necessitating careful oversight to address US security priorities.
