The Queen enjoyed a morning drive at her Sandringham estate as she continues her recovery after doctors advised her to cancel all official visits for a fortnight.
While driving around her estate, the 95-year old monarch was wearing a head scarf as she sat on the Range Rover’s passenger seat.
Her corgis joined her on the outing, but she had the Land Rover all to herself. She viewed out of the rear window as the Land Rover made its way around the terrain.
The heads of state are expected to stay at Sandringham for the weekend as they work to get ready to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.
Last week Her Majesty withdrew from a scheduled visit to the COP26 conference on climate change in Glasgow. She instead recorded a message from Windsor that was sent last Friday and played to global leaders Monday.
Following a recommendation by doctors to stop all official visits, the Queen drove her Sandringham estate in the morning.

The Queen flew 105 miles from London to Sandringham to be with her family for the weekend after it was revealed that insiders believed she wanted to stay at Sandringham to celebrate Christmas, after last year’s pandemic.
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth used to travel to Sandringham each year at Halloween to enjoy quality time together at Wood Farm.
And although her ‘dear late husband’ – as she referred to him this week – died in April, the Queen has decided to honour those cherished memories together by going back to the estate this week.
Sandringham is where the Head of State will be spending this weekend, while she takes some rest to ensure her fitness for Remembrance Sunday.
Last week Her Majesty withdrew from a visit to the COP26 conference on climate change in Glasgow. She instead recorded a message from Windsor that she sent to world leaders last Friday.
Wood Farm was home to Philip, his husband of 73-years, who died aged 99 after a long and difficult battle with cancer.
He was a countryman by heart and loved Sandringham. However, he also enjoyed Wood Farm’s relative simplicity. His only concession to modernization had been the installation of a kitchen. He would likely have died there, if it wasn’t for the pandemic that saw him relocate to Windsor to be near the Queen.
A royal source told Mirror Online yesterday: ‘The Queen had been hoping she would still be able to spend the weekend at Sandringham and was delighted her doctors gave her the all clear to travel.
Her Majesty looks forward to welcoming family members to her Norfolk home over Christmas. She has made preparations to ensure that everyone can be accommodated.
“The Queen has happy memories of Christmas at Sandringham and is convinced that it was a better experience to be there personally.
According to the source, the Queen traveled ‘on the understanding that her doctors continue to advise’ that she rests as instructed after being told last week by her doctors that she shouldn’t do any ‘light, desk-based duties’ for more than a fortnight.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh last year spent their Christmas alone at Windsor Castle – which made it the first time since 1987 that she did not spend the holiday with her family at Sandringham.
Even though the Festival of Remembrance will be missed at the Royal Albert Hall on the previous day, the monarch has made a vow to attend Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph.
After royal doctors advised her not to travel, the head of state was due to attend Cop26. She had planned to give an in-person speech at Cop26 and host a reception.
Instead of Prince Charles, Camilla, and the Duke & Duchess to Cambridge representing the Royal Family at the conference was instead Prince Charles.
The Queen secretly went to London’s King Edward VII Hospital last month. The Queen was secretly taken to the King Edward VII Hospital in London by Royal aides. However, they only stated that it was for preliminary investigations.
Last week, Prime Minister David Cameron stated that Queen Elizabeth was happy when the royals held their weekly meeting.
Boris Johnson stated that she seemed in good health. Her doctors have told her she needs to be rest. I believe we need to understand and respect this. She is well-wishes by the entire country.
Buckingham Palace assured her she was in good spirits and that there has not been any indication of her ill health since the beginning of her reign.
At the end of the recommended fortnight, doctors will assess the monarch. This could mean that her diary might be altered for some time.
The desire of the Queen to move as fast as possible is ultimately overshadowed in the end by what her doctors believe is best.
Other senior royals will have to travel on her behalf, including the Prince of Wales.

The Queen Elizabeth II was seen in a Cop26 video message last Friday. It was played in Glasgow this Monday.
Last month, concerns were raised about Queen Elizabeth II, who was recently seen with a walking stick during events. She cancelled her two-day trip to Northern Ireland.
It was just hours before the flight, and even though her aides claimed she stayed at Windsor Castle, she was later taken to hospital to receive her first overnight stay in eight years.
Monday’s photo of the Queen driving to Windsor Castle was taken by a green-estate car. She was wearing a headcarf and sunglasses.
The Queen made a strong plea for world leaders to address the crisis of climate change during Monday’s Cop26 message. She said they must put aside division to act now in the best interests of their children.
The monarch spoke out for the first time on the topic of the environment. She said that they must ‘rise above politics’ to show true statesmanship on this issue.

Speaking in a video message – played at a reception marking the first day of the climate summit – the Queen declared: ‘The time for words has now moved to the time for action.’
She included a poignant nod to her advancing years, saying many involved in the Glasgow summit – including herself – would not see the fruits of their actions, adding: ‘None of us will live for ever.’
However, she stressed the following: “We’re doing this for our children and their children. And those who will be inspired by them.”
The world leaders can solve the most difficult problems and triumph over all adversities if they work together, according to Shearer.
Last year, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh spent Christmas at Windsor Castle alone. This was the first time in her history that she didn’t spend the holiday at Sandringham with her family since 1987. In 2017, the Queen and Philip were pictured together at Sandringham.
Sources claim that the Queen wanted to spend Christmas with her family at Sandringham, Norfolk’s estate for this holiday.
She spoke with unusual candour of her pride in her family and their stance on the environment – from ‘my dear late husband’, the Duke of Edinburgh, to her son the Prince of Wales and grandson the Duke of Cambridge.
She recalled how in 1969 Prince Philip told an academic gathering: ‘If the world pollution situation is not critical at the moment, it is as certain as anything can be that the situation will become increasingly intolerable within a very short time… If we fail to cope with this challenge, all the other problems will pale into insignificance.’
“It’s a great source of pride for me that my husband took the lead role in encouraging people to save our fragile planet through the efforts of Charles and William, our oldest sons,” said the Queen. Their achievements are something I couldn’t be prouder of.
She added she had also ‘drawn great comfort and inspiration from the relentless enthusiasm of people of all ages – especially the young – in calling for everyone to play their part’.But she emphasised the enormous task ahead, saying: ‘In the coming days, the world has the chance to join in the shared objective of creating a safer, stabler future for our people and for the planet on which we depend.’
