On July 12, 2022, Queen Elizabeth presented the representatives from the National Health Services of the United Kingdom (NHS) with the George Cross during an audience in the white drawing room at Windsor Castle. The Queen was accompanied by the Prince of Wales as she presented the awards.
The awarding of the George Cross was first started by King George on 24 September 1940 during the height of the Blitz. The award is handed out in order to honor acts of the greatest heroism or of the most courage in circumstances of extreme danger.
Her Majesty looks splendid, love her colorful dress. The pearl necklace as always I love. Her commitment to her duties, she has real back bone, so inspiring. Amazing Monarch and woman. Bless her x
ReplyDeleteLa Reine continue de m'étonner ; elle est toute pimpante dans cette robe fleurie accompagnée de son incontournable collier de perles !
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks lovely as always. The dress is a nice spring/summery pattern. I'm glad to see her continuing on, as she can and hope for the best with the mobility issues.
ReplyDeleteHM looks very pretty in her floral summer frock! Its wonderful seeing her enjoying herself performing her duties. So glad to see Prince Charles supporting HM--perhaps having his support (and the support of other family members too) helps her meet the challenging she faces with her mobility problems.

The Queen's dress is very lovely. Am I right when I tell you that I see a piece of old rose fabric coming out the back of her dress' neck (picture's N°2,3,4) ?
ReplyDeleteCould she have neck pain ? In that case one could try to cut her dresses differently, so that the neck part is more covered. Neck pain can be very hard.
The Queen looks wonderful. Lovely dress. So nice that the NHS has been rewarded for their outstanding work during the Pandemic, and every day. josebabe
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see her. The dress is nice and summery. Her stature concerns me. Her head looks too heavy for her neck. Her smile is as enthusiastic as ever but she just appears frail.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the situation with head and neck is one that a great many elderly women suffer from. It affected my aunt and grandmother and I, too, have it (although not yet as severely as Her Majesty) even though my bone density is good (it is thought to result from tiny fractures in the bones as they age, but I think there may be other factors involved). I don't think there is any way to reverse it; possibly if the process is caught early enough there are ways to limit is progression.
