But an announcement the following evening said that the queen was postponing a virtual privy council meeting on the advice of doctors. UK's prime minister was alerted immediately about her deteriorating condition.
King Charles also arrived at Balmoral in some time while Liz Truss mentioned Queen Elizabeth II in her remarks in UK's parliament.
Later a statement was released from Buckingham Palace which read, “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.”
