  1. Our darling Queen is looking very thin of late.
    Her coat needs to be adjusted far too big on her, at present.
    I still think her smile is beautiful.
    Boys in the family start behaving and stop giving her so much grief, she does not need all this at her age.

      Don't forget she has not been widowed very long. Even at such an advanced age, knowing the day was coming, you can't fully prepare for losing your partner/closest advisor of 74 years. I am sure she is still adjusting. ~d

    1. Yes, just too wonderful for words.
      And she looks so smart in her red coat and hat.

  4. HM looks lovely and refreshed by her stay in Scotland. Her choice of ensemble is perfect for a appearance on an autumn day. Love seeing her supported by Prince Edward in his role of Vice-Patron of the Commonwealth Games. It is wonderful to see HM out and about!

    I agree, the coat is too big for her, but what a stunning ensemble. No one wears a hat as well as Q. Elizabeth. (V.M.)

    1. Her mother (the Queen mum) passed down the hat wearing knowledge to her daughter.

  6. Her smile is just the best! What a cheery spot in the day. She is looking so thin, her clothes need better tailoring. But love the bright outfit, and her fabulous hat as always!

    Another striking outfit for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth; the hat is unique. Her family have a good role model if only some of them would follow her lead; good manners and respect for all is not too hard to ask. xxxxx

  9. Quelle apparition dans cette couleur orange vif ; cela illumine ma journée qui commençait tristement en cette période automnale - Superbe broche dont je n'ai pas eu encore l'occasion de rechercher son nom mais je vais m'empresser de le faire afin de compléter mon petit fichier !

  10. Après recherches parmi les nombreuses broches de la Reine, j'ai trouvé "broche Nizam d'Hyderabad" la construction complexe de cette broche présente un centre tremblant qui permet aux diamants de l'étamine de la rose d'osciller. La broche était à l'origine montée au centre d'un diadème homonyme conçu par Cartier en 1939 - Voilà pour celles/ceux que cela peut intéresser !

    The Queen always looks so elegant. She developed in all these years her own personal style with these vibrant happy colours and hats with flowers, feathers etc. I have the impression by the way that she lost some weight.

  13. She's looking very thin and getting really frail, I'm afraid.
