The royal family is coming together in support of Queen Elizabeth II.
On Sept. 8, Prince William, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall all traveled to the Queen's Balmoral Castle in Scotland to be with her after doctors said they are "concerned" for her health, E! News can confirm.
Their abrupt trip to Balmoral comes after Buckingham Palace released a statement announcing that doctors have recommended that the Queen, 96, "remain under medical supervision" following an evaluation Sept. 8. The Palace added that the Queen "remains comfortable" in her residence.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster and head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, has said he’s "concerned" by the news of the Queen’s health.
He also offered his prayers, adding: "May the blessings of the Lord strengthen and comfort her and her family."
The UK's Chief Rabbi has expressed similar sentiments, saying the Queen “is very much in my prayers today”.
Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, said: "I know that Jewish communities around the Commonwealth will join me in wishing her a full and swift recovery."
The Muslim Council of Britain has wished the Queen a “swift and lasting recovery” and offered its prayers for the monarch and the Royal Family.
Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, have been seen boarding a helicopter at Dumfries House in Scotland to Balmoral to be with Her Majesty, who "remains comfortable", Buckingham Palace said.
Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, the Countess of Wessex and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are also travelling to be by the Queen's side.
Princess Anne is already with Her Majesty at her Scottish residence.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "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."
Mills said: "Of course, there undoubtedly is going to be concern about the Queen.
"It was only last night at six o'clock that we were informed by Buckingham Palace that the Queen had to pull out of conducting a Privy Council meeting which had been pencilled in yesterday evening.
"Last night, they said that after a full day on Tuesday, Her Majesty had accepted the doctor's advice to rest, which had meant the Privy Council meeting that she was due to be conducting, albeit remotely from Balmoral, wasn't able to go ahead."
The Queen had been due to hold the Privy Council meeting of senior government advisers virtually on Wednesday evening but it was decided it would be rearranged.
Ms Truss said the whole country would be "deeply concerned" by the news, adding her thoughts were with the monarch and her family.
Reactions:
Brose: BBC has changed their header to black, and their anchors have switched to black suits and ties.
For those unaware, this is part of the process in announcing the passing of the Queen in “Operation London Bridge”
Nothing official yet, but certainly doesn’t look promising.
