Queen Elizabeth II was admitted in a hospital on Wednesday afternoon for tests and was discharged on Thursday October 21, Buckingham Palace confirms.
Royal doctors were said to have ensured that the 95-year-old sovereign was seen by specialists in London on Wednesday afternoon, a day after Buckingham Palace announced she would cancel a visit to Northern Ireland on the advice of her doctors. It is believed that her medical team acted out of caution to have her admitted.
The palace, which provided no further details on her condition or the nature of the tests, confirmed the hospital visit on Thursday evening, after a report about it appeared in The Sun, a British tabloid. On Wednesday, the palace said she “reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days.”
In the latest statement, a spokesman for Buckingham Palace said, “the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits.”
