“After a new assessment this morning, the Queen doctors are concerned for the health of His Majesty and recommended that it remain under medical surveillance. The queen continues to feel comfortable and remains in Balmoral” , had announced shortly before the palace in a brief press release.
His family was informed of his state of health, reported the agency Press Association. His heir Charles, 73, and his grandson William go to Balmoral, said their respective services.
For one night in the hospital almost a year ago for never specified exams, the queen, with declining health, is more and more rarely.
The queen formalized Tuesday the appointment of Liz Truss as Prime Minister, her 15 e chief of government in 70 years of reign. She had decided to stay in Balmoral instead of returning to London where the transition is usually happening because of her health problems. Images broadcast by the palace showed the smiling sovereign and relying on a cane, shaking the hand of the new leader.
Wednesday evening, the palace had announced that the queen had postponed an online meeting, her doctors who advised her to rest. She has delegated for months an increasing part of her duties to her son Charles who had notably pronounced in May in his place for the first time the discourse of the throne in Parliament, one of his essential constitutional functions.
At the beginning of June, the British had celebrated for four days the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth II, which is the oldest monarch in the world in office. She remained almost absent from this platinum jubilee, showing only two brief covers on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace in front of tens of thousands of people.
A few weeks later, however, she showed herself several times for public appearances in Scotland, appearing smiling and with a cane during a parade of the armed forces in Edinburgh at the end of June.
