The development comes as the doctors advised her rest, forcing her to cancel her appearance at COP26 in Glasgow. She had also made a recent overnight stay in hospital for tests.
Queen has not only been complying with doctors’ advice to cancel all official visits, but have also been undertaking light duties at Windsor Castle.
The 95-year-old monarch is in “good spirits”, Buckingham Palace said earlier. No details of any specific medical issues were disclosed.
The world's oldest and longest-reigning monarch seems to be determined to appear at the annual Remembrance Sunday service. It commemorates the nation's war dead in central London on November 14, the palace said.
She had also recorded a video address for the delegates of COP26 on Friday. Further rest was a "sensible precaution", a palace source said.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also said Queen is on very good form.
