On Tuesday, Her Majesty appointed Liz Truss as the United Kingdom's new prime minister after the latter won the summer Conservative leadership bid.

The occasion took place at Balmoral, as the Queen did not travel to London for the event, which has often taken place at Buckingham Palace for previous prime ministers.

In response to today's news, the new PM tweeted that the country should be "deeply concerned" about the Queen's wellbeing.

"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime," Truss tweeted. "My thoughts - and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom - are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time."

Additionally, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also shared his concerns about the news, tweeting: "Along with the rest of the country, I am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon.

"My thoughts are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time, and I join everyone across the United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery."

Back in June, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, with the entire nation enjoying a long weekend of celebrations to mark Her Majesty's 70-year record reign.
