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".

Although Buckingham Palace officials no give much informate on top di Queen health, sources suggest say her return to work show say she don recover from Covid symptoms


Apparently the writers decided that killing Elizabeth off during the Ukraine storyline would do her a grave disservice, considering how important her character has been throughout the years.

You're assuming she's not the ghost of kiev.
 
I'm honestly surprised she's chugging along. I remember people being concerned when her husband died last April because the elderly don't tend to fare well when their spouse dies.

Then again, she has access to the best healthcare in the world. The English monarchy is basically a governmental rubber-stamp at this point, so the bulk of the quibbling and decision-making falls to the people under her (as opposed to the US president, for example, who has to constantly be involved).

Leaving the city to live in one of the most secure fortifications in the country. Maybe she's expecting the russians to invade? :stress:

The Household guard is entrenching for the wave of new refugees, the moment they let any Ukrainians in, they'll let everyone else at Calais in as well.

I was thinking 'Picking a Stately Home and nesting there to die' myself, but I guess this a thought too.

To do that in Windsor is dumb. It's about 2 hours away. She'd be better off in Balmoral.

It's only been a year, give her at least another 2-3.
