The statement also said: “The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”

It comes after a break in tradition on Tuesday, when Boris Johnson and Liz Truss travelled to Balmoral to finalise Mrs Truss becoming the new Prime Minister, a procedure typically done in Buckingham Palace.

The Queen also pulled out of a virtual Privy Council meeting on Wednesday after doctors ordered her to rest.
