The Queen will miss a privy council meeting after being advised by doctors to rest, according to reports.

The palace said the meeting, set to take place virtually on Wednesday evening, will be rearranged, PA News has reported. “After a full day yesterday, Her Majesty has this afternoon accepted doctors’ advice to rest,” a palace spokesperson said.

The Queen, in increasingly frail health, met the new prime minister, Liz Truss, on Tuesday at Balmoral in Scotland, where Truss was asked to form a new government after the resignation of Boris Johnson. » | Geneva Abdul | Wednesday, September 7, 2022
