“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 statement read.
Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became “concerned” about her health, said Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
A statement released by the Buckingham Palace said, “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 Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral,” the statement added. According to reports, while Prince Charles is presently with her, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Williams, is on his way. Duchess of Cornwall Camilla has also travelled to Balmoral.
The announcement about the Queen’s ailing health comes after she withdrew herself from a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday after doctors advised her to take rest. She is 96.
As soon as the news spread, newly-appointed 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,” Truss added.
Liz Truss, who defeated Rishi Sunak in the UK prime ministerial race by a huge margin, on Tuesday became the new Prime Minister. Her formal appointment came after being appointed by Queen Elizabeth II during an audience at her Balmoral estate in Scotland.
In a statement released by Royal officials, Truss can be seen shaking hands with Queen Elizabeth II which formalises her appointment as new British Prime Minister. Earlier the outgoing PM Boris Johnson submitted his resignation.
Liz Truss had on Monday defeated Rishi Sunak in the Conservative Party leadership contest to become new Prime Minister of Britain. Truss defeated Sunak by a margin of nearly 20000 votes to replace Boris Johnson who had earlier lost the majority.
