She's staying longer in Norfolk this year it looks like. Perhaps due to the accident Philip had and having to be close until its resolved? Or, she's taking advantage of being 92 and extending her down times. She's the Queen wherever she is though. :D
 
:previous: No, this is around the time she usually returns. The last 2 years it has been on the 7th, but she has left a few days later before. I expect she is returning back soon.

That DM article is weird. Most of it is about the Duke's accident saying it happened last week but was really more like six weeks ago. Obviously they have a standard "Her Majesty went to church" article in which they change the lead and picture but don't bother to edit the rest of the article. Their journalism is getting sloppier by the day.
