Queen Elizabeth II has wished Prime Minister Boris Johnson a speedy recovery and sent a message of support to his pregnant partner, Carrie Symonds.
Buckingham Palace, on Tuesday afternoon, said her Majesty had been in touch to offer her best wishes.
The Royal Family tweeted this lunchtime: “Earlier today The Queen sent a message to Carrie Symonds and to the Johnson family.
“Her Majesty said they were in her thoughts and that she wished the Prime Minister a full and speedy recovery.”
The news comes after the PM was rushed into intensive care last night – and has spent the night there.
This morning No10 said he was “stable” and “in good spirits” – and was not using a ventilator.
They said he continued to ave oxygen but is still able to breathe unassisted.
Earlier it was also revealed that the PM and Queen will no longer have their weekly audience for the forseeable future.

Before he was admitted into the ICU last night Boris passed over some responsibilities to the First Secretary of State, Dominic Raab, but that won’t include the audience with the Queen, No10 confirmed today.
The pair have been speaking on the phone in recent weeks as the Coronavirus crisis grips the nation.
The PM was taken to hospital at around the same time as Her Majesty gave her address to the country on Sunday evening – watched by millions.
