LONDON: Doctors are concerned about the health of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and have recommended that the 96-year-old remain under medical supervision, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday (Sep 8).
"The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral", the palace said in a statement.
A palace source said that immediate members had been informed and played down speculation that the monarch had suffered a fall.
On Wednesday the queen was forced to cancel a planned virtual meeting with senior ministers after being advised to rest by her doctors.
The previous day, she had been pictured appointing Liz Truss as the country's new prime minister at her Scottish home, Balmoral Castle.
Truss said that 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 said.
