Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has been hospitalized over an apparent
stomach infection that has ailed her for days, Buckingham Palace said
Sunday. The monarch will have to cancel a visit to Rome and other
engagements as she recovers.
The palace said the 86-year-old British monarch had experienced symptoms of gastroenteritis and was being examined at London’s King Edward VII Hospital. “As a precaution, all official engagements for this week will regrettably be either postponed or cancelled,” the palace said in a statement.
The illness was first announced Friday, and Elizabeth had to cancel a visit Swansea, Wales, on
Saturday to present leeks — a national symbol — to soldiers of the Royal Welsh Regiment in honor of Wales’ national day, St. David’s Day. She instead spent the day trying to recover at Windsor Castle, but appears to have had trouble kicking the bug.
