Queen Elizabeth is under medical observation at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after doctors became concerned about her health. Family members of the 96-year-old monarch were immediately notified, and he is already with Prince Charles.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, wife of Prince Charles, also went to Scotland. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will also visit the country.
The Queen’s health has been a cause for concern since last year. In October, at the age of 95, he spent the night in the hospital and required five days of bed rest after “preliminary examinations” by doctors.
The secrecy of the royal palace aroused doubts about the health of the monarch, who kept the agenda of the meetings. He returned to work a few days later, but was advised to reduce his alcohol intake.
In November, another worrying event: The Queen missed the official Cenotaph Memorial Day ceremony for the first time in 22 years. Doctors instructed him to rest after a low back sprain.
Covid and mobility
Earlier this year Elizabeth had Covid-19. The monarch reported she was “very tired and exhausted” after the illness.
According to palace sources, covid left the queen even weaker. He has had mobility issues since March and bought a golf cart to help him get around. He also uses a cane.
The Queen refuses to use a wheelchair due to “superstitious belief” about her sister’s death after appearing in public on public transport.
In June, he stopped attending Platinum Jubilee events to commemorate the 70th anniversary of his reign. According to Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth experienced “discomfort”. The following month, she officially lightened her workload.
In recent months, the monarch has missed some appointments. The last was on Wednesday, when he was forced to cancel the scheduled virtual meeting with ministers after being advised to rest by his doctors.
He was photographed the day before at his Scottish home in Balmoral Castle, naming Liz Truss as the country’s new prime minister. At that time, a bruise on the queen’s hand drew attention.
