A Palace spokesperson said: “Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”

The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, and the Count and Countess of Wessex, Edward and Sophie, are also travelling there, while Princess Anne is already in Scotland for engagements.
