Buckingham Palace has announced the Queen will no longer be attending the COP26 Climate summit in Glasgow next week. The 95-year-old 'regretfully decided' not to travel – accepting doctors' advice to rest. In a statement the Palace did confirm the Monarch would deliver a pre-recorded video message for the delegates attending the conference. The announcement comes after the Monarch returned to official duties following an overnight hospital stay. Her Majesty welcomed new ambassadors to Britain from South Korea and Switzerland during two virtual engagements. The 95 year old has undergone "preliminary investigations" for an unspecified ailment – however it is not COVID-19 related. She's the world's oldest and longest-reigning monarch – and will celebrate 70 years on the throne next year.
