Doctors expressed "concern" for Queen Elizabeth's health, recommending she remain under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle.
Senior members of the royal family, including Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry, immediately traveled to be by her side in Scotland.
The news prompted widespread national concern, with the BBC altering its programming and political leaders sending well wishes.
The 96-year-old monarch has faced "episodic mobility problems" since last year, recently canceling engagements and appointing the new PM from Balmoral.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
