The Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations and returned to Windsor Castle on Thursday, said the Buckingham Palace.
Queen Elizabeth II spent a night in hospital after being advised to rest and cancel a visit to Northern Ireland this week, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.
"Following medical advice to rest for a few days, The Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today (Thursday), and remains in good spirits," a statement said.
Britain's domestic Press Association news agency said the trip to hospital was unannounced as it was expected to be a short stay, and also to protect the 95-year-old monarch's privacy.
But the overnight stay was for "practical reasons", it added, without disclosing the hospital concerned or the nature of the tests.
