BBC One had suspended all its usual and planned programming following the news that the Queen is under medical supervision. Buckingham Palace issued a statement on Thursday afternoon (September 8) saying royal doctors were concerned for health.
It comes after the 96-year-old monarch, who celebrated 70 years on the throne in June, pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday, a day after appointing Liz Truss as PM at Balmoral Castle.
A Palace spokesperson said in a statement issued at 12.32pm: "Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."
