The 95-year-old monarch, Queen Elizabeth spent the night in hospital, according to Buckingham Palace.
“Following medical advice to rest for a few days, The Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits,” the Palace said.
“Her Majesty is in good spirits and is disappointed that she will no longer be able to visit Northern Ireland, where she had been due to undertake a series of engagements today and tomorrow,” the statement said.
“The Queen sends her warmest good wishes to the people of Northern Ireland, and looks forward to visiting in the future,” it added.
The Queen, along with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, had been due to attend a church service in the city of Armagh on Thursday, marking the centenary of partition and Northern Ireland’s foundation.
Irish president Michael D. Higgins had earlier declined an invitation to attend the church service, because its title “isn’t a neutral statement politically.”
Ireland’s Church Leader’s Group said in a statement Wednesday that it was “sorry” to learn the Queen would not be attending. The group acknowledged “the significance of her commitment to the work of peace and reconciliation.”
However the Queen is still expected to attend the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, which begins later this month.
