AceShowbiz - Buckingham Palace has offered a new update on the health of Queen Elizabeth II. In a new statement which was released on Friday, October 29, the palace shared that Her Majesty was advised to continue to take a rest for two more weeks after her hospitalization last week.
"Following on from their recent advice that The Queen should rest for a few days, Her Majesty's doctors have advised that she should continue to rest for at least the next two weeks," the statement read. "The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time, including some virtual Audiences, but not to undertake any official visits."
It was also stated that the Queen "regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, 13th November." The new update concluded, "However, it remains The Queen's firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on 14th November."
Prior to this, Queen Elizabeth II was said to be spending Wednesday night, October 20 in hospital after canceling a trip to Northern Island on her doctor's orders. According to Buckingham Palace officials confirmed the next day that the 95-year-old monarch had returned to home after "preliminary investigations" into a health condition.
"Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits," Palace officials said in a statement issued on Thursday.
The exact reason behind The Queen's hospitalization is currently unknown. However, a royal source reveals the Queen stayed in hospital overnight for practical reasons, noting that it didn't relate in any way to COVID-19.
Meanwhile, it was said that Prince Harry was feeling "helpless" and went into "panic mode" after learning of the Queen's hospital visit. The Duke of Sussex, who has been residing in California alongside wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie since stepping down as senior royal family member in early 2020, allegedly "felt helpless being 5,000 miles away in Montecito."
The source added that Harry "has been checking-in non-stop with her." The price allegedly also still "feels guilty about not saying goodbye" in person to his grandfather Prince Philip, who died in April, and doesn't want it happens again with his "beloved grandmother."
"[He] would never forgive himself if the same thing happened with his beloved grandmother," the informant reveals. It is also said that the younger brother of Prince William is "hoping to go back home for Christmas with Meghan, if not before so that she can finally get to meet [her great granddaughter] Lilibet and see [great grandson] Archie again."
