Queen Elizabeth II has carried out her first royal engagement via video link since leaving the hospital last week.

The 95-year-old monarch spent Wednesday, October 20 in the hospital after canceling a visit to Northern Ireland following medical advice from her doctor.

On Tuesday the monarch returned to public duties with a series of video engagements from Windsor Castle. She held a virtual audience with the ambassador from the Republic of Korea, Gunn Kim, Buckingham Palace said in a press release.

Her Majesty, who wore yellow dress and a three-strand pearl necklace, appeared in good spirits when she greeted the ambassador, Sky News reports. The publication added that he was dressed in Korean clothing, including a traditional hat known as a gat.

The Queen had visited the hospital for "preliminary investigations" and returned to Windsor Castle the following day, the palace said in a statement obtained by Insider last week.
