Doctors have expressed concerns over the health of the Queen.
The Queen is now under medical supervision at Balmoral, Buckingham Palace says.
“Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision,” the Palace said in a statement on Thursday.
“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”
Her immediate family has been informed.
The announcement comes after the Queen, 96, pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday, with doctors advising her to rest.
Prime Minister Liz Truss said the “whole country” would be “deeply concerned” by the news.
“My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time,” she added.
