The Queen spent Wednesday night in hospital for preliminary medical checks and is now back at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace has said.
The 95-year-old monarch returned from hospital at lunchtime on Thursday and is "in good spirits", the palace added.
The Queen was said to be "disappointed" after cancelling a visit to Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
She was given medical advice to rest for a few days, after a busy schedule of public engagements.
In a statement on Thursday night, Buckingham Palace said: "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 Queen was seen by specialists at the private King Edward VII's Hospital in central London, about 19 miles (32km) from Windsor. Her admittance is understood not to be related to coronavirus.
The overnight stay was said to be for practical reasons and the Queen was back at her desk undertaking light duties on Thursday afternoon.
The King Edward VII's is a private hospital in London's Marylebone used by senior royals, including the Queen's husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh, who received treatment there earlier this year.
It has been a busy period of official engagements for the Queen.
She was pictured hosting a Global Investment Summit at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening alongside Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
An official record of the Queen's diary showed at least 15 other formal events during October.
On Wednesday, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said the monarch had "reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days".
He said the Queen was "disappointed that she will no longer be able to visit Northern Ireland" - which would have involved an overnight stay.
She is expected to lead a royal delegation to the Glasgow COP26 climate change summit in two weeks' time.
Earlier this week, the Queen declined a magazine's award of Oldie of the Year, saying "you are only as old as you feel".
She "politely but firmly" turned down the award, but sent the Oldie magazine a message with her "warmest best wishes".

Just a preliminary thread for now, but it's worth keeping an eye on, pretty sure this was how it started with Philip...

There were alleged to be random plebs bursting into tears in the middle of the streets when Diana died.

Can 100% confirm that this happened. At the time Diana was the most popular royal (or ex-royal in this case), but Betty is probably more popular now than Diana was then.

Lol can you imagine Canada with fucking Charles on its money?

a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend

The last living monarch that anyone on this Earth cares about.

The British monarchy is the last global celebrity monarchy. Rich people still care about royal families, however - particularly the royal families of the Netherlands (major backers of globohomo and oil tycoons in their own right), all the European microkingdoms (Luxemberg, Lichtenstein, Monaco; all run by billionaire globohomos), and about a dozen Muslim royal families (the House of Saud being the most famous).

The House of Windsor are the Trumps of royalty; they get paid to play the role of Rich People on TV, so that other rich people can keep doing what they do, without the peasants trampling their flowerbeds all the time.

I'm looking forward to a great documentary looking back on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II next week. I don't know what day it'll be airing yet but I'll find out very soon.

Punters are hinging on Charles abdicating to give it over to William, but you never know.

edit: I should probably start asking for physical change the next time I go to the grocers, you never know how long it'll be until they start requisitioning outdated coins to melt them down for reminting.

 

[N’egger]

Just die already. Why even come back?

 

[dry roasted]

I'm not a fan of monarchies, but Queen Elizabeth II was a badass back in the day. Any monarch who served in WWII - even if they weren't yet a monarch during the war - is fine by me.

I concur.

"Badass," seriously? She did fuck all, her service was a whopping three months of hanging around a training facility next door to Windsor Castle where she was escorted home every night to her bed in the palace. And then spent the next 75 years funding her lifestyle by picking the pockets of men who spent years of their lives actually fighting the war, the families of those that died, the women who worked in the farms and the factories or were up to their elbows in blood as nurses. It was propaganda, a photo op stunt and people like you are still patting her on the head for it.

Poor Lizzy. As she lies on her deathbed she realizes somewhere in the back of her mind that she knows that the Empire started with an Elizabeth and will end with an Elizabeth.

I don't care about this but Kate Middleton is a fuckable milf and I would have sex with her.

Is she going to be the next queen?

Not unless Prince Charles and his wife Camilla abdicate in favor of William and Kate, otherwise the UK get's him for at least a decade or two would be my guess.

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

If I worked at the hospital I’d be keeping a watchful eye on Charles especially if they see him walking around pillow in hand.

As soon as she drops and I am able to.

 

[Absolutetense]

Her and her pedo son can both go and rot in hell. Funniest thing about her death will be the North Korea esque scenes when it's finally announced. There were alleged to be random plebs bursting into tears in the middle of the streets when Diana died. How ridiculous is it gonna get when Liz shuffles off the mortal coil?

I fucking love the “Diana the mourning after” by hitchens, where he goes into detail exactly how the English media did nothing without the approval of the royal family. This is true North Korea shit. I mean UK these days is more cucked than back then, so people who don’t comply will be executed or maybe raped by grooming gangs paid by tax-money.

After having seen them re-elect a prime minister who slinks around in Bollywood wedding suits, babbling in gender-neutral newspeak, sobbing aboot his toxic whiteness and openly praising Fidel Castro?

It would hardly be the wildest thing we've seen them do up there.

The spouse dies soon after. Almost always happen.

I thought leapfrogging over Charles was the actual plan. It should be, anyway.

He's his dad, after all.
