EARLIER
Buckingham Palace has released a rare statement on the Queen’s health.
“Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.”
palace spokesperson
“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”
The Queen’s close family including the Prince of Wales have been informed, with the latest announcement escalating fears for the monarch’s health.
Prince Charles, her heir, and his wife Camilla and Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge are traveling to Balmoral to be with the queen, according to their offices.
The statement comes a day after the palace said that the queen had canceled a meeting with the Privy Council on doctor’s advice to rest.
The Royal helicopter, almost certainly carrying Prince Charles, was on a direct course to Balmoral (where the Queen is) after the Prince appears to have left Dumfries House in a hurry. There's also a Royal flight heading up to Aberdeen from England shortly.
Prime Minister Liz Truss says “The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime” adding “my thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time”.
The statement released by the palace is vague, however the fact it was released at all has sparked concerns.
The palace is typically very careful about releasing information about the Monarch’s health.
My prayers, and the prayers of people across the @churchofengland and the nation, are with Her Majesty The Queen today.
May God’s presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral.
