Queen Elizabeth II spent the night in hospital for “preliminary examinations”

Queen Elizabeth II, 95, spent the night from Wednesday to Thursday in the hospital to undergo “preliminary examinations” after being put to rest by her doctors, Buckingham Palace announced Thursday.

“Following the medical advice recommending her to rest for a few days, the Queen went to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon for preliminary examinations and returned to Windsor Castle at lunch time” Thursday, the palace wrote in a brief statement.

She “keep good morale“, he added. On Wednesday, the sovereign, who is preparing to celebrate in 2022 her 70 years of reign, had canceled a visit to Northern Ireland after having “reluctantly accepted” the advice of his doctors to rest.

Despite her age, the death of her husband Philip in April and the Covid-19 pandemic, the British sovereign tirelessly continues to participate in public events as she prepares to celebrate her 70 years on the throne in 2022. He has not been known to have serious health problems in recent years.

She appeared again on Tuesday at a reception in Windsor, attended by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, businessman Bill Gates or US climate envoy John Kerry. Visibly in good shape, she shook hands without gloves and stood talking with the guests, without a protective mask. Last week she was seen walking in public with a cane, a first since 2004.

She is expected to lead a royal delegation to the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow in two weeks. Earlier this week, the Queen turned down the award‘”Oldie of the Year” (Senior Citizen of the Year) Magazine Awarded She “politely, but firmly” declined the award, but sent a message to Oldie magazine with her “best wishes”.
