Queen Elizabeth II has carried out her first official engagements virtually, from Windsor Castle, since spending a night in hospital and canceling a trip to Northern Ireland last week.

"Her Majesty The Queen today conducted two virtual audiences via videolink from Windsor Castle," Buckingham Palace said Tuesday in a press release.

She received the ambassador from the Republic of Korea Gunn Kim, and the ambassador of Switzerland Markus Leitner, it said.

Last week a Buckingham Palace spokesman said the 95-year-old monarch was admitted for "preliminary investigations" after she followed doctor's orders to cancel the trip and rest.

She returned to Windsor Castle on Thursday and "remains in good spirits."

A source close to the palace told CNN at the time that her stay in the hospital was "not Covid related."
