Wakadaily earlier reported that the queen’s doctors were “concerned” over her health. He said “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.”
