Piers Morgan Fears 'There's Something We're Not Being Told About Queen's Health'

Piers Morgan has said he believes there's 'something we're not being told about the Queen's health' after she had to miss a Remembrance Sunday service in London due to a sprained back.

Taking to Twitter, Morgan shared a BBC article announcing the Queen wouldn't be present at the Cenotaph today, writing alongside it: "There's something we're not being told about the Queen's health, it's clearly a more serious situation than the Palace is saying."

The Remembrance Sunday service would have been the monarch's first public duty since her hospital stay last month, but shortly before the service was set to take place Buckingham Palace released a statement.

The statement said: "The Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today's Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph.

"Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service.

"As in previous years, a wreath will be laid on Her Majesty's behalf by the Prince of Wales.

"His Royal Highness, along with the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra will be present at the Cenotaph today as planned."

After it was announced she wouldn't be attending, social media was flooded with well wishes and messages of support for the Queen for those wishing her a speedy recovery.

The Palace also reportedly said that her sprained back had nothing to do with previous medical advice the Queen received recently to rest.

Last month, the British Monarch was advised by her doctors to rest for the next two weeks and only undertake 'desk-based duties', Buckingham Palace has announced.

The Queen has only missed six other Cenotaph ceremonies during her reign: on four occasions when she was on overseas visits to Ghana in 1961, Brazil in 1968, Kenya in 1983 and South Africa in 1999.

She was not present during the 1959 and 1963 services as she was pregnant with her two youngest children.
