The Queen spent the night in hospital following her cancelled trip
The Windsors are undoubtedly the most talked-about family in the world, with the royals never failing to make headlines.
This week, it was the Queen's health that made news as Her Majesty was forced to spend a night in hospital.
The Queen was forced to cancel a visit to Northern Ireland on Wednesday, advised by doctors to rest and take care of herself after a busy few weeks.
It was later reported that the 95-year-old monarch would be spending the night in hospital for preliminary medical checks, and would be returning home the next day.
According to the palace, she has now returned to Windsor Castle and is back at work.
'Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits,' Buckingham Palace announced in a statement.
Members of the public and high profile figures were quick to send messages of support to Her Majesty, with PM Boris Johnson's spokesperson announcing: 'The prime minister's best wishes have been passed on to Her Majesty.'
