The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace says.

The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace has said.

It said in a statement: “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 announcement comes after the Queen, 96, pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday, with doctors advising her to rest.

Meanwhile, Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle interrupted the energy debate to update MPs about the Queen’s health.

He cut short SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford’s speech to say: “I know I speak on behalf of the entire House when I say that we send our best wishes to Her Majesty the Queen and that she and the royal family are in our thoughts and prayers at this moment.”

He added: “If there is anything else, we will update the House accordingly.”
