Queen Elizabeth II spent a night in hospital this week but has since returned to Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace says.
Key points:
- Buckingham Palace says the Queen's medical team took a cautious approach with the monarch
- The Queen entered hospital on Wednesday and returned to Windsor Castle on Thursday afternoon
- The monarch cancelled a trip to Northern Ireland earlier this week because of medical advice
"Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today [Thursday], and remains in good spirits," the palace said in a statement.
A royal source cited by Reuters said the Queen had stayed in hospital for practical reasons and that her medical team had taken a cautious approach.
She returned to her desk for work on Thursday afternoon and was undertaking some light duties, the source said.
The palace said her illness was not related to COVID-19, according to Reuters.
The BBC reported the 95-year-old had been treated at the King Edward VII's hospital in London.
Her husband Prince Philip was treated in the same hospital before his death in April at the age of 99.
The Queen cancelled a trip to Northern Ireland earlier this week after doctors told her to rest.
The cancellation came after she attended the horse races at Ascot on the weekend and hosted a Global Investment Summit at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening.
Recently the Queen was seen using a walking stick for the first time in almost two decades.
She used the stick for support as she attended Westminster Abbey for a service marking the centenary of the Royal British Legion.
The last time she was seen with a walking stick was after knee surgery in 2004.
The Queen is thought to have last spent a night in hospital in 2013, when she was suffering from symptoms of gastroenteritis.
She had a successful surgery to treat an eye cataract in 2018. Royal officials are loathe to discuss health issues in general, saying medical matters are private.
The Queen is expected to be in Glasgow at the end of the month for the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference.
