Fears over Queen Elizabeth II’s health escalated on Thursday after Buckingham Palace said her doctors were “worried”. Princes Charles and William joined her at her Balmoral residence.
Wednesday, Elizabeth II had to withdraw from a scheduled meeting with her top political advisers, after being asked to rest. ” After further assessment this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended that she remain under medical supervision “said Buckingham Palace in a press release this Thursday, September 8.
A very unusual statement regarding the Queen’s health. Moments earlier, memos had been passed to Prime Minister Liz Truss and members of her team in Parliament, urging them to leave the room. On Tuesday again, the queen had received at Balmoral, her place of retirement in the Scottish Highlands, the new Prime Minister and her predecessor Boris Johnson.
Liz Truss tweeted almost immediately afterwards: “ The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news coming out of Buckingham Palace this afternoon “, she wrote, adding: “ My thoughts – and those of everyone in the UK – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time. »
The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.
My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.

The 96-year-old monarch has suffered from health problems since last October that prevent her from walking and standing.
The heir to the throne, Prince Charles, 73, and his wife Camila, along with his eldest son, Prince William, 40, joined her at Balmoral, according to their offices at Clarence House and Kensington Palace.
