In late October, doctors recommended that UK Queen Elizabeth II extend her rest period and refrain from public activity for at least two more weeks.
Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in central London, a commemoration of the country's war dead, due to a back sprain, according to Sky News.
The Queen is deeply disappointed that she must miss the engagement, and hopes to continue as planned with a schedule of light duties next week, the palace said in a statement.
The 95-year-old monarch had cancelled a trip to Northern Ireland in October after doctors advised that she rest for a few days ahead of medical exams. She spent a night in hospital.
Elizabeth II also cited medical recommendations when she opted not to attend the United Nations' COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow in person.
