On October 21, Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II had spent the night from Wednesday to Thursday in hospital. On the advice of her doctors, the monarch also canceled her visit to Northern Ireland. The reason for the admission was preliminary examinations in the hospital on the recommendation of her doctors. The95 year old QueenElizabeth was last hospitalized in 2013 for gastroenteritis. In fact, this brief hospital stay is her fifth in 40 years.
By the way, it is no secret that the state of health of the sovereign worries the British too much. However, this latest news is rather reassuring, as Queen Elizabeth II is currently back in office. Without revealing further details, the press release indicated that the monarch returned to Windsor Castle on Thursday afternoon and that she "remains in good spirits." According to some sources, this admission to the hospital was made as a precautionary measure by the Queen's medical team. However, this hospitalization came a day after the palace announced that theBritish Queen due to health reasonscancel her visit to Northern Ireland. Last week she also appeared at Westminster Abbey with a cane. It was a premiere at a major public event. Elizabeth was pictured with a cane in 2003 after undergoing knee surgery.
Queen Elizabeth II will still most likely attend the COP26 international climate conference in Glasgow. This takes place from October 31st to November 12th. Last week, the Queen complained that world leaders were talking about climate change rather than taking action. The normally non-politically active member of the royal family found this phenomenon “irritating”. Queen Elizabeth II is indeed the longest-reigning British ruler. During her reign she saw 15 successive British Prime Ministers. She also made many historical visits. Her husband Prince Philip died in April 2021 after more than 73 years of marriage.
