“Following further evaluation this morning, the queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended that she remain under medical supervision,” the palace said in a statement.
On Tuesday, the queen looked frail in a meeting with the incoming British prime minister, Liz Truss.
