Britain's Queen Elizabeth has been advised by her doctors to rest for at least the next two weeks, avoiding official visits and only undertaking light, desk-based duties during this time, palace officials said.
Queen Elizabeth, 95, will not attend a remembrance event scheduled for 13 November but has a "firm intention" to be present at a national service of remembrance for British military veterans on 14 November, the palace added.
The British monarch had already pulled out of addressing world leaders in person at the COP26 summit in Glasgow next week, but a palace source said she remained in good spirits and recorded a video address for COP delegates this afternoon.
Further rest for the queen was "a sensible precaution", the source added.
The queen appeared in video footage released by the palace yesterday, when she took part in a ceremony awarding a medal for poetry.
She has also been shown accepting credentials from foreign ambassadors via video link.
She had an overnight stay at King Edward VII's Hospital earlier this month, which was her first in eight years.
She was treated at the private clinic for a bout of gastroenteritis in 2013, when she also stayed for one night.
The queen was recently seen using a walking stick at a Westminster Abbey service in early October, the first time she has done so at a major event.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the queen moved to Windsor Castle as a precaution, where she was joined by the her husband Prince Philip in lockdown.
In January 2020, the queen missed her annual visit to the Sandringham Women's Institute due to a cold.
The year she turned 90, the monarch called time on overseas travels.
In June 2018, the queen pulled out of a service at St Paul's Cathedral because she was feeling "under the weather".
