Liz Truss, who just met the Queen to become Prime Minister, says her thoughts are with Her Majesty amid health concerns
- The UK's new prime minister, Liz Truss, said her thoughts are with the Queen.
- Queen Elizabeth II is under "medical supervision" at her estate in Scotland as of Thursday afternoon.
The UK's new prime minister, Liz Truss, said on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II is in her thoughts as the royal leader is under medical supervision in Scotland.
In a statement shared on Twitter shortly after 12:30 p.m. local time, Truss said the "whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime."
"My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time," Truss wrote.
Buckingham Palace said Thursday morning that the 96-year-old Queen's doctors are "concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision."
The Queen is currently at her Balmoral estate in Scotland, where members of the Royal Family headed to be with her.
Truss, formerly the UK's foreign secretary, won the Conservative Party's 2022 leadership election after Boris Johnson resigned. On Tuesday, Truss met with the Queen at Balmoral where she was invited to form a government.
