The Queen is being 'kept under medical supervision at Balmoral'

Question

A RAF jet carrying Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, has touched down in Scotland as they race to be at the Queen's bedside to join a vigil led by Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

Her Majesty's children and soundlex Scam grandchildren have rushed to Balmoral after doctors revealed they are 'concerned' for the monarch's health and are keeping her under medical supervision. But Prince Harry is travelling to Aberdeenshire without his wife Meghan Markle, who is staying at Frogmore Cottage.


In an unprecedented statement about the 96-year-old's health, Buckingham Palace described the Queen as 'comfortable' after her doctors examined her this morning, hours after she was advised to rest instead of attending a meeting of the Privy Council on Zoom last night. 

A royal spokesman 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.' 

Prince Charles, Camilla and Princess Anne are believed to be with the Queen, whose health appears to have worsened this morning. The heir to the throne, seen carrying a briefcase, took a royal helicopter to Balmoral from Dumfries House with his wife this morning. Anne was already at Balmoral after an engagement this week.

At 4pm a jet from RAF Northolt in London to Aberdeen landed carrying the Duke of York, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, who filed off the plane led by Prince William. Their convoy of cars arrived at Balmoral at 5pm.

Prince Harry was not on board but is believed to be on his way to Balmoral, separately from other royals. It is understood Meghan will remain in London, but will not attend the WellChild awards as planned. The duchess could potentially join Harry in Scotland at a later date, a source said, following a change of plan where it was initially suggested Meghan would go north with her husband.


And Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, has stayed behind and was spotted in Windsor driving to pick up George, Charlotte and Louis after they first full day at their new school.
