The BBC's Royal editor has said Buckingham Palace's recent statement on the Queen's health is 'a very significant moment.' Nicholas Witchell gave an insight into Her Majesty's condition after a statement was released on Thursday (September 8).
Buckingham Palace issued a statement earlier today, saying: "Following further evaluation this morning The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision." It added that the Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.
The Queen's immediate family members have been informed and are heading to Scotland, with the latest announcement escalating fears for the 96-year-old monarch's health. The head of state pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday after doctors ordered her to rest.
