Queen Elizabeth II’s family members are rushing to the monarch’s bedside amid her health concerns.
“Representatives at Kensington Palace and Clarence house confirm that Prince William, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall are travelling to Balmoral, Scotland,” royal reporter Omid Scobie tweeted on Thursday.
The royals’ travels come as the 96-year-old queen has been placed under “medical supervision.”
“Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement (per Daily Mail.)
“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral,” the royal spokesperson added.
The outlet noted that Elizabeth’s immediate family members have been notified of her escalating health issues.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss promised “deeply” concerning news from the Palace on Thursday.
“My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time,” she said.
The queen made headlines in July as her duties were scaled back in July amid ongoing concerns.
Elizabeth’s updated schedule came on the heels of multiple event absences due to mobility issues and “discomfort,” as well as many instances of cane use.
Her late husband, Prince Philip, died in April 2021 at 99 years old. Six months later, Elizabeth was hospitalized for an unspecified health issue and “reluctantly” canceled a trip to Northern Ireland.
“Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today and remains in good spirits,” the Palace wrote in a statement at the time.
Her Majesty was advised to rest for two weeks, undertaking only “light, desk-based duties … including some virtual audiences.”
Elizabeth is the world’s longest-reigning monarch. She has been on the throne since her father King George VI’s death in 1952, celebrating 70 years of service in June.
Charles, 73, is next in the line of succession.
In February, Elizabeth announced that Camilla, 75, will take on the “Queen Consort” title when the time comes, which the Duchess of Cornwall called an “honor.”
