The 95-year-old monarch underwent preliminary medical checks in hospital last Wednesday after cancelling a visit to Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She resumed public engagements on Tuesday by meeting ambassadors via video link from Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Buckingham Palace said she “regretfully” decided not to attend a reception at the summit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But the palace said she would deliver her address to delegates using a recorded video message instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Queen was due to travel to Scotland as part of a string of COP26 engagements by senior members of the Royal Family including the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge between 1-5 November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
