LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II, who is 86, was admitted to a London hospital on Sunday after experiencing symptoms of gastroenteritis, according to a statement issued by Buckingham Palace. The statement said that all the queen’s engagements for the next week would be postponed or canceled, including a two-day visit to Italy that was scheduled to begin on Wednesday. She had already skipped one event, a military parade in Swansea, Wales, on Friday, because of the illness.

A palace spokesman described the queen’s hospitalization on Sunday as “a precautionary measure.” The BBC’s royal correspondent, citing palace officials, said the queen was expected to remain in the hospital for about two days. Emphasizing that there had been no emergency, the palace said that the Queen was taken to the King Edward VII Hospital in central London from Windsor Castle, a distance of 20 miles, by private car. Other than the gastroenteritis symptoms, the spokesman said, the queen was in good health and “in good spirits,” and was moved to the hospital “simply to enable doctors to better assess her.”

When the news broke, a crowd of well-wishers gathered behind police barriers outside the hospital’s main entrance in central London.

In 61 years on the throne, the Queen has generally enjoyed sturdy good health. She was last hospitalized in 2003, for an operation to repair damaged cartilage in her knee, which she twisted when visiting the Newmarket racecourse 75 miles north of London.

Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining and intestines. Medical experts in Britain said that depending on the specific cause, it can be highly infectious, transmitted through contact with an infected person or with contaminated food or drink. One common type of gastroenteritis, caused by a virus known as norovirus, has been widespread in Britain in recent months.

I love it when you see Americans who love the royal family as it's not like they fought a war of independence or anything. :P

I'll never understand why anyone loves the royal family, not just Americans.

Same, I still find it more amusing as they fought a war to escape it.
