The 96-year-old monarch's latest setback will raise fresh fears for her health the day after she was pictured in a historic audience with Liz Truss at Balmoral.
The Queen has postponed her Privy Council meeting after being advised by royal doctors to "rest", Buckingham Palace has said.
The nation's longest-reigning monarch has ongoing mobility issues and had been due to hold the Privy Council virtually on Wednesday. During the proceedings, Ms Truss would have taken her oath as First Lord of the Treasury and new cabinet ministers would have been sworn into their roles, and also made privy counsellors if not already appointed as one in past.
The Queen is on her summer break on the Balmoral estate, and not due to return until early October. With her hair neatly curled, the monarch, dressed in a blouse, cardigan and a Balmoral tartan skirt, stood as she met Ms Truss. The Sun reported recently that the Prince of Wales had been making regular morning visits to see his mother as she continues to struggle with her mobility, with the unplanned visits considered highly unusual. She missed the Braemar Gathering highland games last weekend, which she usually attends each year.
