It emerged last week that Charles had recently met with his mother, but a palace source said at the time that the Queen was not displaying any symptoms.
The source said the situation would continue to be monitored, but a running commentary would not be provided on the monarch's health.

On Tuesday, Prince Andrew, 61, agreed an undisclosed out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, after she sued him claiming she was trafficked by paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with the royal when she was 17 and a minor under US law.
The Duke was stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages last month, and will no longer use the style 'His Royal Highness' in any official capacity.
