Britain's Queen Elizabeth has been forced to cancel a planned trip to the Welsh city of Swansea after coming down with a stomach bug, Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said on Friday (March 1, 2013). The 86-year-old Queen had been due to visit Swansea, Wales, on Saturday (GMT) to carry out the tradition of presenting leeks to soldiers of the Royal Welsh Regiment in honour of Wales' national day. The spokesman said the Queen was suffering symptoms of gastroenteritis, an infection of the stomach and bowel caused by bacteria or viruses. She will now spend the weekend at her official residence in Windsor and will be assessed in the coming days. The monarch appeared in good health earlier in the week when she presented a host of Olympic stars with honours during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. The Queen’s visit to Rome, Italy next week with the Duke of Edinburgh was still due to take place but a decision would be made later.
