Timeline of Queen's health and key events over her summer at Balmoral

Members of the Royal Family have rushed to the Queen's side at Balmoral today after it was announced that she is currently under medical supervision.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said that she "remains comfortable" at her Aberdeenshire summer home, where she has been since July.

The Queen’s health has been scrutinised in recent months, with fears growing during her summer retreat.

The news comes as the monarch, 96, has pulled out of key events due to ongoing mobility issues in recent months.

Here is a timeline of the key dates over the past couple of weeks:

July 21

The Queen travelled to her private Scottish home of Balmoral for the start of her traditional summer break.

July 28

The Prince of Wales represents the Queen at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony and reads a message from the Queen put in the Commonwealth Games Baton.

August 8

The Queen’s traditional welcome to Balmoral Castle by a guard of honour is reportedly held in private inside the grounds, with a source saying “This is a change in line with events being adapted for Her Majesty’s comfort”.

September 3

The Queen misses the Braemar Gathering, the popular Highland Games event, and the Prince Charles officially opens a new structure celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

It is understood the decision was taken for the comfort of the head of state.

September 6

The historic audience is the first time the 96-year-old monarch carried out the key duty at her retreat in Aberdeenshire, rather than at Buckingham Palace.
