Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, suffering from gastroenteritis, was
admitted to hospital on Sunday, a Buckingham Palace spokesman told AFP.
All the 86-year-old’s engagements for this week, including a visit to Rome, have been called off, the spokesman added.
“The
Queen is being assessed at King Edward VII’s Hospital in London after
experiencing symptoms of gastroenteritis. As a precaution, all official
engagements this week will be either postponed or cancelled,” he said.
