Queen Elizabeth II attaches great importance to strict court protocol. Despite all the formality, she can allow herself a little fun now and then. During an audience at Windsor Castle, the regent was joking.
Windsor – A meeting with Queen Elizabeth II (96) probably triggers sweaty hands and unrest in many a guest, but the queen remains calm and relaxed in every situation. No wonder, after all, she has been on the throne for 70 years. The 96-year-old has not lost her royal sense of humor to this day.
Queen Elizabeth II spreads a good mood at Windsor Castle
Queen Elizabeth II knows exactly how to take away the nervousness of her visitors. At Windsor Castle, the Regent held a reception for National Health Service (NHS) workers who have been awarded the George Cross for their service in the coronavirus pandemic.
After the award of the civil badge, Queen Elizabeth – in a floral dress and with shorter hair –, Prince Charles (73) and their guests posed for a photo together. The solemn and nevertheless somewhat tense atmosphere did not go unnoticed by the regent, which is why she lightened the mood with a relaxed saying. As a YouTube clip on The Royal Family Channel shows, she told NHS staff, “Don’t look too unhappy,” who couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s so nice to see her”: Queen Elizabeth II makes Royal fans happy
For the first time after a two-year break, Queen Elizabeth II personally carried out the award, the so-called Investiture. In recent months, this task has been assigned to the heir to the throne Charles and Prince William (40), among others. The fans were delighted with their performance and the NHS award. “So nice to see Queen Elizabeth,” commented one enthusiastic Instagram user.
The monarch continues to attend appointments in the service of the crown, but Queen Elizabeth II is now handing over more and more tasks to her family. The senior royals around Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla (74), Prince William and Kate Middleton (40) are a great support. Sources used: youtube.com/c/royalchannel, instagram.com/theroyalfamily
