On Thursday local time, Queen Elizabeth II made her annual visit to the Sandringham Women’s Institute at the humble West Newton village hall.
Joined by the area’s local ladies, the Queen listened to a talk by royal historian Lucy Worsley over tea and biscuits.
As the president of the national Women’s Institute Federation, the Queen has attended the event annually throughout most of the past 74 years. The visit typically takes place as part of Her Majesty’s winter stay on her Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
In a bright fuchsia coat that seemed to counteract the dreariness of her surrounds, the Queen smiled broadly as she arrived to the event in a chauffeur-driven vehicle.
Upon her arrival she was greeted warmly by Yvonne Browne, vice-president of the Sandringham branch.
We’re happy to see the sprightly monarch back in action!
The Queen looked relaxed and well in her bright fuchsia overcoat.
The 90-year-old monarch was also welcomed by a handful of royal enthusiasts and members of the media who braved the cold for the occasion.
Speaking with People magazine, local Mary Relph said, “it was wonderful, and she looked lovely.”
She continued, “After her severe cold it was lovely to see her. She looked so pretty in that colour.”
The event marks the third time Her Majesty has been seen in public this year as well as her first appearance on official royal duties for 2017.
Britain’s longest running monarch is never without her trusty black handbag!
The occasion sees the monarch looking far more spritely than she did during her first public outing for 2017.
On Sunday, January 8, the Queen attended a service at St. Mary Magdalene church on her Sandringham estate.
Accompanied by Prince Philip, and also joined by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Queen looked noticeably fatigued as she arrived to the church in a black vehicle with a warm blanket affixed to her lap.
The Queen looked drained as she attended a church service for the year’s first public outing.
Prince William and wife Duchess Kate looked stunning as always for the occasion.
Cause for concern over the Queen’s health began to rise after she missed her annual Christmas and New Year’s Day church services due to a “heavy cold.”
It was the first time she’d missed the Christmas church service since 1988.
However, the increasing pace of the Queen’s public outings continues to ease any lingering health concerns.
