Queen Elizabeth II returned to Windsor Castle after spending a night at King Edward VII Hospital for "preliminary investigations," Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday.

The palace's statement explained: "Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits."

Early this week, the 95-monarch received medical advice for having a rest for a few days. Therefore, her majesty canceled all her engagements that have been previously scheduled, including her trip to Northern Ireland.

Queen Elizabeth II was “disappointed that she will no longer be able to visit Northern Ireland, where she had been due to undertake a series of engagements” Buckingham Palace statement's highlighted about the cancelation of the trip.

It is worthy to mention that the 95-monarch was spotted using a walking device, cane, for the first time in 17 years during a service at Westminster Abbey.

Cameras captured the 95-year-old monarch while handing a walking stick by Princess Royal Anne since they arrived at the cathedral.

The Queen used walking devices as she used them before in 2003, and 2004 after having a successful knee operation.

The service that the head of the British kingdom attended was dedicated to mark the centenary of the Royal British Legion.
