The Queen has postponed her Privy Council meeting after being advised by royal doctors to "rest", Buckingham Palace has said.
The 96-year-old monarch's latest setback will raise fresh fears for her health the day after she was pictured in a historic audience with Liz Truss, as she appointed her as the new Prime Minister. A Palace spokesman said: "After a full day yesterday, Her Majesty has this afternoon accepted doctors' advice to rest.
"This means that the Privy Council meeting that had been due to take place this evening will be rearranged." The Queen remains at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire and the latest advice does not involve a hospital stay.
