Queen Elizabeth's royal engagements will take place virtually for the time being.
Her Majesty's doctors have advised her to continue resting for at least the next two weeks, Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Friday.
"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," the statement said.
The Queen won't be able to attend the Festival of Remembrance on November 13, but the statement did state that she has a "firm intention" of being present for the National Service of Remembrance on November 14.
The Queen's latest virtual royal engagement took place on Friday when she held a video call with the 2020 winner of The Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, David Constantine, from Windsor Castle, as People reported.
"I'm very glad to have the chance to see you, if only mechanically, this morning," the Queen said, according to People.
