Queen taken to hospital in London after being struck down with stomach bug and cancelling ALL engagements
The Queen was admitted to hospital today as she struggles to recover from a debilitating bout of gastroenteritis.
The 86-year-old monarch has been taken to the King Edward VII Hospital for immediate medical treatment this afternoon - the first time she has been hospitalised for ten years – and has cancelled all her engagements for the week to come.
Sources insist that she is ‘in good health and good spirits’ and even had an audience with a member of staff – to award them a long service medal – in her private apartments before she left. ------ Sources say it is unlikely any members of the royal family will visit her unless her condition takes a turn for the worse as she will only be in hospital for a short amount of time and – more importantly – hates to make a fuss. ------ The last time the Queen cancelled any major engagements was in 2006 when she badly strained a muscle in her back. ------
