The Queen back at Windsor after hospital stay

She is "in good spirits" after a one-night stay for preliminary medical checks, Buckingham Palace says.

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...

Rest in peace QE2! She was a tough ol bird. I'll always remember a large portrait of her in my elementary school library and asking the librarian confused about it. I'm grateful I got hooked on books at a young age. Even those books that are just pictures of cut fruit that look like animals.
 
R.I.P, You were a genuinely competent member of politics and we seem to be running out of those.
 
Even us Americans can't help but gossip about monarchy. It's why we love celebrities and why our politics became game show game of thrones fanfic. Requiescat in pace, you old bat. dgaf about the rest of the dynasty though. I guess it'll be nice to hear God Save the King one last time.
 
Imagine the obituaries had she resisted the end of the empire with even a fraction of the effort the French put into it.
I shouldn't be mad about some foreign woman getting posthumously slandered but I am.
 
Wel God's is in a good mood

Lettres de cachet went out around the time of Cromwell, give or take. She didn't have any real power, she was just a figurehead.
 
I wanna see the meltdown the eternal Diana-lovers have when Camilla takes up official duties as Queen Consort.
 
crazy to think she’s actually gone.

The royal prerogatives are limited, not what they were since the 17th century. plus what great figures haven’t had controversies in their history? Overall keeping the union strong and UKs image relatively positive throughout the world. Plus the added benefit of making a few argies lol
 
I'll never forget how the britbong media tried to portray her as perfectly healthy and active by poorly photoshopping her into the backseat of a car.
 
So there seems to be an even split on Queen haters and Queen supporters.

Any Anglo's or others in the know care to shed some light? Why would anyone hate her, didn't she just sit around most of the time pretending to still have power when most of it was stripped away from the royals? Or is it just angry blacks and browns gloating over a perceived 'win' against whitey who in the past ruled them and gave them nifty things like roads?
