      Queen Elizabeth II is currently under medical supervision at her home in Scotland.
      This comes just one day after she was advised to rest following the cancellation of a Privy Council meeting.
      Senior royal family members have travelled to be by her side including Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince William.
      Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are currently in the UK, have also cancelled a public appearance in London to be by Her Majesty’s side at Balmoral Castle.
      “Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are travelling to Balmoral Castle. They were supposed to be doing a charity event in London this evening,” Chris Ship, ITV’s royal editor, confirmed.

      Queen Elizabeth II is the first-ever British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the throne.
      The year of her Platinum Jubilee began on February 6, 2022, after the then Princess Elizabeth ascended to the throne following the death of her father, King George VI.
      As the UK prepares for a long weekend of celebration to mark the Platinum Jubilee, including the famous Trooping the Colour, we look back at the Queen’s long-standing relationship with the Middle East.
      After 70 years of dedicated service, Her Majesty has paid a visit to the GCC on several occasions.
      From widening the bond between the nations to appreciating decades of friendship with other GCC royals, it comes to show, that this monarch is certainly well-travelled.
