Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly keen to join the baptism of her great-grandchildren on Sunday although she is not keeping well, state reports.

This combined baptism for 9-month-old August and 8-month-old Lucas is believed to be a first in the royal family.
This event is set to take place one day after what would have been the Queen’s 74th wedding anniversary with deceased husband, Prince Philip. He passed away this year in April at the age of 99.
Both August and Lucas were got their middle name Philip from their late great-grandfather.
Eugenie’s father Prince Andrew and mother Sarah Ferguson are expected to attend the baptism.
Media reports also claim cousin Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton will also be there, too.
