THE Queen has been pictured being drive around Sandringham today on a mini-break after being told to rest up.
The 95-year-old monarch headed to her estate in Norfolk yesterday.
Royal doctors cleared the 95-year-old monarch to take a 50-minute helicopter flight.
She is resting at Sandringham after an overnight stay in hospital last month.
Her Majesty was seen smiling while wearing a headscarf and sunglasses while being driven in in the A-Bio Sdv8 diesel car.
She was heading towards Wood Farm on the estate which she often visited with her late-husband Prince Philip around this time of year.
SANDRINGHAM SPIN
Philip, who died in April, saw out his retirement on the farm.
The Duke of Edinburgh lived in the cottage after retiring in August, 2017 as the Queen carried on working at Buckingham Palace.
Doctors have told the Queen to remain on “light duties” for two weeks after spending a night in hospital last month for “preliminary investigations”.
Sources close to the Queen told HOAR she wants to return to work, if fit enough, in time for Remembrance Sunday on November 14.
Despite her flight, her Royal Standard flag — which denotes when the Queen is in residence — has continued to fly at Windsor Castle.
It is understood that the standard remains at the castle because her full official court of staff and servants have not travelled with her.
A source said: “The Queen is following medical advice to be on light duties — so a break to Sandringham would only be on the strictest of doctor’s orders.”
