Queen Elizabeth II resting for at least two more weeks

The Queen Elizabeth II will have to rest for at least two more weeks, Buckingham Palace announced Friday evening, adding that the monarch would not make any official travel during this period.

After a busy start to the month, the Queen the 95-year-old, oldest reigning monarch, had spent a night in hospital nine days ago, and reluctantly canceled two trips, one to Northern Ireland and the other to the climate conference in Glasgow the next week, on the advice of his doctors.

No details were given on his health, nor on the examinations taken during his hospitalization.

She maintained a few engagements from Windsor Castle near London, via videoconference, such as the Gold Medal for Poetry presentation on Thursday to English poet David Constantine, where a short video showed her smiling and relaxed.

She will continue “light tasks”, including hearings by videoconference, said Friday the Palace.
