Buckingham Palace has said that the Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, according to the BBC.

"The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral (Castle)," the statement added.

The announcement came just hours after Buckingham Palace announced the Queen, 96, had postponed a virtual meeting of her Privy Council on Wednesday after being advised by doctors to rest.

The monarch was scheduled to attend the gathering after formally appointing Liz Truss as the new UK Prime Minister.

Truss is the 15th prime minister appointed by the Queen during her 70-year reign.

Some members of the Queen’s family are already at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after the monarch's doctors announced on Thursday (Sep 8) they were "concerned" for her health.

Prince Charles, the Queen's oldest son and the heir apparent to the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, arrived at Balmoral earlier on Thursday, according to a statement.

The Duke of York and the Count and Countess of Wessex are travelling to the Scottish estate, about 40 miles (64km) west of Aberdeen.
