Queen Elizabeth advised by doctors to rest
CBS News reports that the announcement came less than 24 hours after the queen cancelled a meeting with the Privy Council, her formal body of advisers that includes Britain's new leader, Liz Truss, after being advised by doctors to rest.
A day before that, she met the UK's new Prime Minister Liz Truss at Balmoral.
"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime," Truss tweeted upon hearing the news of the queen's health.
"My thoughts and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time," he added.
Queen Elizabeth calls off meeting
Queen Elizabeth II has postponed a meeting of her Privy Council advisory group after doctors advised her to rest, Buckingham Palace said Wednesday, the day after she appointed Liz Truss as Britain's new prime minister.
"After a full day yesterday, Her Majesty has this afternoon accepted doctors' advice to rest," the palace said in a statement.
"This means that the Privy Council meeting that had been due to take place this evening will be rearranged."
The 96-year-old monarch has been dogged by problems walking and standing since last year, forcing her to cancel a series of public engagements.
