The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace has said.<\/p>\n

\n

All the Queen’s children are either at, or are travelling to, her Scottish estate near Aberdeen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision,” a statement said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Queen is comfortable, it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prince Charles has travelled there with his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, BBC<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duke of York and the Count and Countess of Wessex are travelling to the Scottish estate, about 40 miles (64km) west of Aberdeen.<\/p>\n

\n

The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, was already in Scotland undertaking engagements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duke of Cambridge is also on his way, with the Duchess of Cambridge remaining in Windsor with their children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who had been in Germany, are travelling to Balmoral, a spokesperson for the couple said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The announcement comes after the Queen, 96, pulled out of a meeting of her Privy Council on Wednesday, with doctors advising her to rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are clearly pressing concerns for the Queen’s health – much more explicitly put than before and without any reference to this only being about difficulties with mobility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are also warnings against unfounded speculation, such as that she might have had a fall. And on Tuesday she was on her feet and photographed smiling as she appointed the new prime minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But from the last-minute cancellation of what would only have been a virtual meeting of the Privy Council – of senior ministers – there is no mistaking the fragility of the Queen’s health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Deeply concerned<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Prime Minister Liz Truss said the “whole country” would be “deeply concerned” by the news.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time,” she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Queen appointed Ms Truss as prime minister at Balmoral, instead of travelling to London for the event.<\/p>\n

\n

During her 70-year reign the Queen has typically had an audience with her new prime minister at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said: “My prayers, and the prayers of people across the [Church of England] and the nation, are with Her Majesty The Queen today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“May God’s presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
