Per royal reporter Rebecca English, there's no cause for concern. The Queen isn't being attended to by a doctor, and she'll still head to Windsor later today.
The Queen has been forced to cancel an engagement today as she is feeling unwell. I understand there is no cause for alarm. She is not being attended by a doctor and will go to Windsor as planned this afternoon. Her programme of events will go ahead in Scotland next week.
