Queen Elizabeth II of England was seen driving close to Windsor Castle today as she takes a two-week break from duties amid fears for her health after her secret overnight stay in hospital late last month.
As Her Majesty missed the COP26 conference in Glasgow, the monarch, 95, was behind the wheel of her green Jaguar that she uses to ferry her beloved corgis for a morning walk on her Berkshire estate.
Wearing sunglasses and a headscarf, the Queen looked happy and healthy as she left a rear entrance of Windsor Castle.
It came as Her Majesty is set to stick to low-key online events and virtual audiences this week as she adheres to doctors’ orders as part of her determination to be fit for Remembrance Sunday.
Royal sources said that the 95-year-old will follow medical advice ‘to the letter’ after she was advised to cancel all official visits and rest for another two weeks.

But the monarch has vowed to attend the service at the Cenotaph on November 14, a long morning involving hours of standing up, with one palace source saying: ‘That’s just unmissable, as far as the Queen is concerned. It is one of her most sacred duties.’
Last month, the Queen was secretly taken to King Edward VII’s Hospital in central London for an overnight stay. Royal aides said the trip was for ‘preliminary investigations’ with the exact reason still unknown.

Palace aides are drafting plans for the Duchess of Cornwall to take on a significantly greater role – and it is possible she could even be appointed to an elite group of senior Royals who can carry out duties on behalf of the Queen.
Her Majesty’s decision to cancel all public engagements for at least the next fortnight, as she recovers from an unknown ailment, has raised concerns about a potential leadership gap at the head of the Royal Family if her illness persists or should the 95-year-old Monarch be incapacitated in the future.
So far, the Queen has continued to carry out her duties as Head of State, despite having to ‘reluctantly’ cancel a number of high-profile engagements over the past few weeks.
