Queen Elizabeth II advised by doctors to take two-week break from official duties

Queen Elizabeth II has been advised to rest for two weeks by her doctors, which means she will take no official visits, Buckingham Palace said Friday.

The orders come after the queen was hospitalized overnight last week for “preliminary investigations,” which the palace said was not tied to COVID-19.

“Her Majesty’s doctors have advised that she should continue to rest for at least the next two weeks,” the palace said in a statement obtained by CNN . “The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time, including some virtual audiences, but not to undertake any official visits.”

QUEEN ELIZABETH CANCELS APPEARANCE AT CLIMATE CHANGE SUMMIT

The palace announced earlier this week that the queen, 95, would not attend the United Nation’s COP26 conference next week in Glasgow, Scotland, but will be giving a video address instead. The other members of the royal family will still be in attendance. The queen also canceled a trip to Northern Ireland earlier this month.

The queen remains in good spirits and the break was a precaution from the queen’s medics, CNN reported. She had a virtual audience earlier this week with ambassadors from Switzerland and South Korea and will continue virtual audiences during her break.

The palace said the queen used a walking stick this past weekend for comfort. While on her break, the other members of the royal family will pick up royal duties in the queen’s place.
