Queen Elizabeth II has hosted an in-person meeting with Canada's Governor General, one day after missing an annual service for the Commonwealth.
The world's oldest and longest-reigning monarch hosted Governor General Mary Simon and her husband Whit Fraser on Tuesday for tea in the Oak Room at Windsor Castle.
This came after the Queen missed Monday's Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey, for the first time in a decade.
"After discussing the arrangements with the Royal Household, the Queen has asked the Prince of Wales to represent Her Majesty at the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on Monday," the Palace said in a statement.
"The Queen will continue with other planned engagements, including in person audiences, in the week ahead."
Her tea with Ms Simon and Mr Fraser came after she held a pair of virtual audiences with Enkhsukh Battumur, Mongolia's ambassador to the UK, and Rukhshona Emomali, Tajikistan's ambassador to the UK.
The 95-year-old's health has been in question since she spent a night in hospital last October for an unspecified reason.
Her engagements were reduced after she was advised by her medical team to rest.
Last month, the Queen tested positive for COVID-19, with Buckingham Palace officials sayings she had received her booster shot.
