Members of the Royal Family have gathered at Balmoral amid concerns for the Queen’s health. Buckingham Palace released a statement this afternoon saying Her Majesty was ‘comfortable’ but that ‘the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision’. 

Prince Charles, Camilla and Princess Anne are at Balmoral. Prince William, the Queen’s eldest grandson and second in line to the throne, is on his way there. Prince Harry is travelling to Scotland too. Prime Minister Liz Truss has said ‘the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news’.
