Queen told to rest for at least two more weeks

She recommended avoiding official visits 

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has been advised by doctors to rest for at least the next two weeks, with the 95-year-old monarch avoiding official visits and only undertaking light duties during this time, Buckingham Palace said on Friday.

The world’s oldest and longest-reigning monarch is still determined to appear at the annual Remembrance Sunday service that commemorates the nation’s war dead in central London on November 14, the palace said.

The Queen has been resting at Windsor Castle since she stayed overnight in hospital last week after undergoing “preliminary investigations” for an unspecified ailment that is not related to COVID-19.

The monarch had already pulled out of addressing world leaders in person next week at the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow.
