The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle, where her children and grandchildren are now gathering to be at her side.
In an official statement by Buckingham Palace, it is said that Doctors are “concerned” for Her Majesty’s health – but she is described as being “comfortable” in her beloved Scottish holiday home.
The last 12 months have been busy for Her Majesty, who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee at the start of June.
The Queen’s last official sighting was on Tuesday, when she met with Liz Truss at Balmoral to formally appoint her as the country’s next prime minister.
