Buckingham Palace says Queen Elizabeth II has cancelled her planned engagement at the UN climate conference, accepting doctors' advice to rest.
Key points:
- The Queen has "regretfully" decided that she will no longer travel to Glasgow to attend the reception
- She underwent medical tests and rested for a few days afterwards, acting on medical advice
- She has made her first appearance since, meeting with the Ambassador for South Korea via video
The palace said in a statement released on Tuesday that the 95-year-old monarch has "regretfully decided that she will no longer travel to Glasgow to attend the evening reception of COP26" on November 1.
"Her Majesty is disappointed not to attend the reception but will deliver an address to the assembled delegates via a recorded video message," the palace said.
It comes after the Queen made her first public appearance, via video at Windsor Castle, since revelations that her doctors ordered her to rest last week.
The 95-year-old Sovereign greeted the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea during her first technology-aided appearance since she was driven to London's King Edward VII's Hospital on October 20 for "preliminary investigations." She returned to her Windsor Castle home at lunchtime the next day.

The Queen underwent the medical tests after she cancelled a scheduled trip to mark 100 years since the creation of Northern Ireland, and Buckingham Palace said she had "reluctantly" accepted advice to rest for a few days.
The matter was not related to COVID-19.
The period of rest followed a hectic few days for the monarch in which she held audiences with diplomats, had a reception at Windsor Castle for global business leaders and attended the horse races at Ascot.
Her hospital visit last week came amid general disquiet about her health.
Days earlier, she was seen using a walking stick at a Westminster Abbey service marking the centenary of the Royal British Legion, an armed forces charity. Though she had used a cane in 2003, it was after she underwent knee surgery.
The Queen's husband, Prince Philip, died in April 2021 at age 99.
The Queen is Britain's longest-lived and longest-reigning monarch. She is due to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee — 70 years on the throne — next year.
