“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral,” a palace spokesperson said. Reports said that all the children of the Queen — Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward are at her side in the palace while her grandson Prince William reached the Balmoral Castle.
Prince Harry, who was travelling with his wife Sussex Meghan, is planning to travel to Balmore alone. Prime Minister Prime Liz Truss is unlikely to travel to Scotland, her spokesperson told news agency Reuters on Thursday evening.
The 96-year-old monarch has been facing several health issues since October 2021 and often struggles to to walk and stand. Recently, she was seen using walking stick while meeting the newly elected PM Truss.
On hearing the condition of the Queen’s health, the traditional ceremony of the Changing of the Guard to take place outside the Buckingham Palace on Friday morning, has been called off.
