On Monday, the Queen met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a face-to-face meeting.
Later, during a press conference with Boris Johnson and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Mr Trudeau said he had held an “insightful” conversation with the 95-year-old monarch.
He said: “She was as insightful and perspicacious as ever, very interested in what is going on, asked me all sorts of questions about Canada.
"We had a really useful - for me anyway - conversation about global events, as we always do."
The meeting was the Queen’s first in person engagement since she contracted Covid on February 20 but she has continued to carry out light duties since recovering.
Prince Charles, 73, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, 74, also tested positive but they have since recovered.
The Queen is set to attend two high-profile events this month: the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 14 and the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service on March 29.
The Queen is also set to commemorate her Platinum Jubilee later this year. She will mark the occasion with a series of events between June 2 and June 5.
Marking the official date of her jubilee last month, Prince Charles praised his mother for her 70 years of service to the country.
He said in a statement: “The Queen’s devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still greater admiration with each passing year.
"We are deeply conscious of the honour represented by my mother’s wish. As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout."
