Queen Elizabeth attended the traditional Ceremony of the Keys at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. The Earl and Countess of Wessex accompanied the Queen at the ceremony. The ceremony is part of The Queen's traditional trip to Scotland for Holyrood Week. Members of the Royal Family will also take part in engagements between Monday and Friday.
On Tuesday, Princess Anne will conduct an investiture on behalf of the Queen at Holyroodhouse. On Wednesday, the garden party at Holyroodhouse will take place hosted by Prince Charles, Princess Anne and the Earl and Countess of Wessex. Guests invited are those who have made positive contributions to communities across Scotland.
How lovely to see her out and around!!
ReplyDeleteHM looks radiant--and her blue ensemble is so pretty! How wonderful to see her up and out for this ceremony. The Countess of Wessex (or Forfar as she is known in Scotland) looks marvelous--love the green dress, the boater-style hat, and the cognac-colored accessories. Prince Edward is really moving into the same area of sartorial flair his father had.

Isn't Prince Edward the next (current ?) Duke of Edinburgh with Prince Phillip's passing? (I'm sure some one will correct me if I'm wrong.)
DeleteThe Queen does look lovely. That shade of blue suits her. It seems that as long as she gets ample rest in between engagements she does pretty well with her mobility issues.

The current Duke of Edinburgh is technically Prince Charles who inherited the title on his father’s death. It seemed to have been the intention that it would go to Edward, hence him not having a Dukedom already, but it will be up to Charles to decide when he becomes King.
DeleteI think Edward is high on the waiting list.
DeleteThe Queen looks absolutely lovely. The only thing I would change are those buttons. I think pearl ones or covered buttons wpuld have looked better.
ReplyDeleteLa Reine est bien jolie dans cet ensemble aux couleurs très douces ; Sophie porte un style de robe qu'elle a l'air d'adorer ; son canotier lui va à merveille mais pour être en harmonie avec ses accessoires, j'enlèverai la bande tilleul !
ReplyDeleteQueen Elizabeth is a joy to see with her beautiful smile and this smart outfit!! Love the color and the trim on the hat is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks well rested, and her outfit is lovely as ever. However, I have a feeling her lower legs hurt. Bless this woman for the outstanding life she has led. jj
ReplyDeleteIt is a joy to see that HM is able to participate in some of these traditional events. She looks wonderful. The blue/lilac coat and hat are beautiful. Her smile is exquisite. The Countess of Wessex's green ensemble is very pretty. And, yes, Prince Edward is stepping up his game. (Debra)
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise, to see the Queen at this event. She look a bit frail, but her smile says it all. Lovely outfit the Q is wearing. Sophie look's very nice. She looks good in green.
ReplyDeleteAww lovely to see Her Majesty has made it back to Scotland. She's looking good here too. I like Sophie's dress but not sure about the hat
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of the coat; and the buttons are spectacular. Her Majesty has amazing style. The hat is just right. As her Majesty's clothes is all made for her, maybe the person just needs to make a few extra pieces; like Norman Hartnell.(Tara)
ReplyDeleteI first saw the Queen for her coronation from France when i was seven the very first televised show of my life.
ReplyDeleteQueen looks beautiful in pale blue color and Sophie in green.

The Queen looks great, marvellous to see her out and about, what a inspiration she is. I love her pale blue coat, the hat is gorgeous. Her beautiful pearls are the perfect finishing touch. C of Wessex looks splendid, this shade of green is very becoming on her. Her subtle pieces of jewellery are a great added touch. Love the tan accessories. Prince Edward, is looking very refined and dapper. Its wonderful to see the Wessex's giving the Queen support, they seem comfortable and at ease with each other. I love how they don't seem to 'hover' but are not far away if need be. Well done to the Wessex's.
ReplyDeleteQueen Elisabeth is looking good. She is so beautiful in her light blue coat and hat. I hope she is feeling better and better.
ReplyDeleteCountess Sophie looks goo in green. It is a color that suits her. A pity the dress is so wrinkled. I love her hat but the green band around it should be replaced by a band in the same color as her dress. Must be not so difficult. I like her dark brown shoes. A pity the handbag don't match the shoes nor the dress. It makes me think of map for documents not a handbag.
So good to see Queen Elizabeth II and she always looks great. Her smile, her dedication, her determination is so encouraging. ~MS~
