Britain's 101-year-old Queen Mother Elizabeth has received medical treatment after cutting her arm. She fell in her sitting room at the royal estate of Sandringham, eastern England.

A spokeswoman says the Queen Mother still intends to travel to Windsor, on Friday, despite the fall and a recent cold, to attend the funeral of her daughter Princess Margaret.

Princess Margaret died Saturday following a stroke at the age of 71. She will be cremated.

The 101-year-old royal is the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, and widow of King George VI of England.
