Queen Elizabeth has canceled several royal events in recent months, which has sparked serious concerns about her health.

After canceling the event at Balmoral Castle last month, the British monarch, 96, has recently announced to receive the new UK Prime Minister at her Balmoral residence instead of Buckingham Palace on Tuesday due to ongoing ‘mobility issues’ and ‘discomfort,’ the palace confirmed.

It is believed to be the first time in the monarch's 70 years on the throne that she has conducted the historic duty away from Buckingham Palace.

Recently, it has been reported that the Queen will be absent from the Braemar Gathering, a popular Highland Games event – scheduled to be held in Scotland this weekend.

Her absence her sparked a debate that the Queen, who became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, should step down from the royal duties.

TalkTV's host JJ Anisiobi said, "I think she's great but maybe this is time for her to resign and step back a little bit.”

"If she can no longer attend enough events, enough ceremonies, it's time we have someone fresh in,” he said.

Co-panelist Mike Graham added, "I think it is time for her to step back because there isn't any point in having the head of the state who can't actually see anybody or go anywhere."
