The 95-year-old queen just returned from a holiday in Scotland recently. On October 12th, local time, the queen participated in the Thanksgiving service for the centenary of the Royal Regiment at Westminster Abbey . Unlike before, the queen used a cane as a support that day.
People have rarely seen the queen use crutches before, except for knee surgery in 2003, there have been several media photographs using crutches.
Daughter Princess Anne accompanied the Queen to attend the event. The queen wore an extravagant dark blue suit with black gloves, shoes and a classic black bag. Judging from the photos, I don’t know if it’s because the shoes are a little bit small that my feet look a little swollen.
Princess Anne chose to wear a royal purple coat and matching hat. Although Annie is much younger than the Queen, she has a lot of wrinkles on her face, which looks a little scary.
The two went to the magnificent monastery in London to participate in the Thanksgiving service commemorating the centennial of the British Royal Legion. They were welcomed by the dean of Westminster who led the celebration outside the church.
The mother and daughter of the British royal family have very close ties with the Legion. For decades, Her Majesty the Queen has been a patron of organizations supporting the armed forces community.
Princess Anne is the chairperson of the Women's Department of the Legion. The organization was established in 1921 to protect the interests of widows and veterans' families.
