LONDON -- Queen Elizabeth II has cancelled her planned appearance at the UN climate conference in Glasgow, accepting doctors' advice to rest just days after spending the night in a hospital for tests.
"Her Majesty is disappointed not to attend the reception but will deliver an address to the assembled delegates via a recorded video message," Buckingham Palace said. The sovereign greeted the ambassadors from South Korea and Switzerland during her first technology-aided appearance since she was driven to London's King Edward VII's Hospital on Oct. 20 for "preliminary investigations." She returned to her Windsor Castle home at lunchtime the next day and has been taking on light duties since.
Her doctors ordered rest last week after the monarch who likes to be seen by the people carried out a hectic series of events. She held audiences with diplomats, had a reception at Windsor Castle for global business leaders and attended the horse races at Ascot.
