Queen Elizabeth II to skip UN climate conference due to ill-health
India TV NewsQueen Elizabeth II has canceled her planned appearance at the UN climate conference in Glasgow, accepting doctors’ advice to rest just days after spending the night in a hospital for tests. The news came after the sovereign held virtual audiences on Tuesday at Windsor Castle- the first since revelations that her doctors ordered her to rest last week. The sovereign greeted the ambassadors from South Korea and Switzerland during her first technology-aided appearance since she was driven to London’s King Edward VII’s Hospital on Oct. 20 for “preliminary investigations.” She returned to her Windsor Castle home at lunchtime the next day and has been taking on light duties since. The queen underwent the medical tests after she canceled a scheduled trip to mark 100 years since the creation of Northern Ireland, and the palace said she had “reluctantly” accepted advice to rest for a few days.
