Bad news about the health of Queen Elizabeth II
Anticipation prevailed in Britain today, Thursday, after the doctors of Queen Elizabeth II leaked unpleasant news about the health of the Queen, expressing concern about her health, while her family gathered at Balmoral Palace in Scotland, where she is.
The 96-year-old has been suffering from health problems since October last year, which has made her difficult to walk and stand.
"Following a new assessment this morning, the Queen's doctors have expressed concern about Her Majesty's health and have recommended that she remain under medical observation," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."
And the Press Association reported that her family had been informed of her health condition.
The British Crown Prince Charles, 73, arrived with his wife Camilla in Balmoral, where the Queen spends annually at the end of the summer, as well as her daughter Anne.
Her two other sons, Princes Andrew and Edward, were on their way to Scotland in the afternoon.
Her grandson, Prince William, second in line to the throne, is expected to arrive soon.
Her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are also heading to Scotland.
In her last public appearance, the Queen formally confirmed on Tuesday the appointment of Liz Terrass as Prime Minister, becoming the 15th Prime Minister in the 70 years of the Queen's accession to the throne.
She had decided to stay in Balmoral instead of returning to London, where the hand-over ceremony between the two prime ministers is usually organized, due to her health problems. Pictures broadcast by the palace showed the queen smiling, leaning on a stick and shaking hands with Liz Terrace.
"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news coming out of Buckingham Palace at noon," the new British prime minister said, adding: "My thoughts and those of all British people go to Her Majesty and her family."
Many political officials wished the Queen a speedy recovery.
At Buckingham Palace in London, a sign was hung informing tourists that the changing of the guard would not take place.
No British monarch has ever held the throne for this long.
It is unlikely that any other king will achieve this.
Prince Charles, heir to the throne, is 73, while his son William will soon celebrate his 40th birthday.
During these celebrations, Elizabeth appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet tens of thousands of people.
Weeks later, she made several public appearances in Scotland, smiling while wielding a cane during an armed forces parade in Edinburgh at the end of June.
The health of Queen Elizabeth II, who is very popular in the country, has caused concern in the recent period.
The Queen ascended the throne in February 1952 at the age of 25 after the death of her father, King George VI, and has been a widow since the departure of her husband, Prince Philip, in April 2021, just before he turned 100.
