Queen postpones Privy Council meeting after doctors ‘advise her to rest’
The Queen has postponed her Privy Council meeting and has been advised by doctors to rest, Buckingham Palace says.
The Queen has postponed her Privy Council meeting and has been advised by doctors to rest, Buckingham Palace says.
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, where she appointed Liz Truss at the new prime minister on Tuesday.
The latest advice does not involve a hospital stay for the 96-year-old monarch, who has ongoing mobility issues.
She had been due to hold the Privy Council virtually on Wednesday.
During the proceedings, Ms Truss would have taken her oath as First Lord of the Treasury and new cabinet ministers would have been sworn into their roles, and also made privy counsellors if not already appointed as one in past.
