It is understood the changes to her diary were made to protect and prioritize her continued recovery, with royal doctors keen to prevent any setback from a nasty seasonal illness.

The Queen, 77, missed a number of engagements a week ago on medical advice, including Remembrance Sunday events over the weekend.

Her public duties this week will be for shorter periods than originally planned.

She will also not be attending the premiere of Gladiator II in Leicester Square tomorrow.
