Queen Elizabeth II

All four of The Queen’s children arrive at Balmoral to be by Her Majesty’s side

All four of The Queen’s children have travelled to Balmoral Castle to be by The Queen’s side.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were confirmed to have arrived at Balmoral by Clarence House following the news that Her Majesty had been placed under medical supervision.

Kensington Palace similarly confirmed that Prince William had made the journey to be with his grandmother.

Princess Anne was already in Scotland undertaking engagements, with Prince Andrew and Prince Edward making the trip from England.

In what is a hugely poignant and sombre moment, there is a sense of inevitability surrounding the events at Balmoral Castle, with most of Her Majesty’s immediate family present at her Scottish home.

In a short statement, Buckingham Palace said that Her Majesty was comfortable but that her doctors have ”recommended she remain under medical supervision.”

The Queen was last seen two days ago when she appointed Liz Truss as the new UK Prime Minister.

In the past months, she has experienced mobility issues.

The full statement, issued just after noon on September 8th 2022, reads ”Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”
