British monarch Queen Elizabeth II reportedly sprained her back and was unable to attend a Remembrance Day ceremony at The Cenotaph in London because of the injury.
The queen, 95, was “disappointed” to miss the event and had a “firm intention” of making an appearance, Buckingham Palace said in a statement. She added that she made the decision to miss the event with “great regret.”

After a separate health issue last month, Queen Elizabeth’s doctor advised her at the end of October to rest until mid-November, the BCC reported.
“The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time, including some virtual audiences, but not to undertake any official visits,” a Buckingham Palace statement said. “Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, November 13.”
