This Tuesday, February 15, Elizabeth II honored one of her commitments. Certainly by videoconference, but if the queen did not feel like ensuring any appointment whatsoever, this virtual meeting would have been canceled. From Windsor Castle, William and Harry’s grandmother spoke with Estonian Ambassador Viljar Lubi and Spanish Ambassador José Pascual Marco Martínez. It is obviously not in pajamas that the widow of prince Philip is revealed on the screens.
True to her coquetry, Elizabeth II wore a floral dress visible in the pictures posted by the royal family on Twitter. Always so elegant and smiling, the queen extinguished in a few seconds the embers of the rising anguish among the admirers of the Crown. At the dawn of her 96th birthday, Elizabeth II is still as solid and does not seem to have decided to leave her throne. His son, Prince Charles, will still have to wait his turn. But after 70 years of rule, a few more don’t matter.
