Duke of Edinburgh reveals black eye with The Queen at event in Buckingham Palace | Daily Mail Online

I'm going by the headline only but the DM (according to Google) ran this story in April 2013, as did the Telegraph.

The Palace said this, as reported by Royal Central.

So I am not alone - even the DM doesnt read the DM

Duke of Edinburgh reveals black eye with The Queen at event in Buckingham Palace | Daily Mail Online

It's current. It shows the Duke at tonight's reception for the Magna Carta. How common is it to just wake up with a black eye?
How pretty the Queen looks in that bright red.
So far I'm not seeing Robert Hardy. Odd, because I know he's taking part in the national celebrations later this year. That's been confirmed.
Oh well, I bet he will be at Richard the IIIs re internment- I'll get to see him with the COW if so.
What else is HM doing this week?
EDIT- was just telling my Dad about the DOE black eye, and he said, " Well, he probably said something stupid, and the Queen whacked him!"

Video:
The Queen inspected a copy of the Magna Carta at a special reception at Buckingham Palace to mark its 800th anniversary. She was shown a modern copy of the document which attempted to limit the powers of her medieval predecessor King John as she met hundreds of legal and political dignitaries. Comprising 3,500 handwritten words in minuscule medieval Latin, it is written on sheepskin parchment, like the original, and belongs to the British Library. .

Great photos- HM's smile, and the color of that suit. But no Robert Hardy. Makes no sense.

The Queen to receive The King and Queen of Tonga

I'm sorry, don't mean to offend anyone here, but my first thoughts were- " Gosh I hope he fits through the door, and doesn't eat HM out of house and home!"

He's not as fat as I remember.
Purple is HM's color- she had me convinced red was, but she really rocks that color.
The Tongan Queen's outfit is um, interesting. Not what I would choose for an audience with the Queen, however I understand traditional outfit, etc.

Prince Philip is indeed looking well these days and it is good to see him doing what he does so well.

He really did look snazzy!

Great that Queen Elizabeth will be visiting Valletta, I hope that she and those with her lodge in the city maybe they'll arrange the roads in those areas for a change cause they're in great need of reconstruction....on the other hand if she stays in St Julians again theyll arrange those areas which don't need any more 'dolling up' .....I love my country but it seems that it's only during these high profile visits that they do some thing road wise

 

[Lumutqueen]

Both the Commonwealth meeting and the observance event are BRF events they're being talked about in the family thread.

Britannia cruise ship named by the Queen in lavish ceremony - Telegraph

The naming of a ship, followed by liquid spillage over the bow, is a long-held tradition, an honour previously bestowed on icons such as Sixties 'it' girls (Twiggy), Italian sex symbols (Sophia Loren); the queen of cakes (Mary Berry), and the Duchess of Cambridge (who can forget the heavily pregnant Kate in a Dalmatian print dress smashing a Swarovski-studded Nebuchadnezzar against the cruise ship Royal Princess?).

The Vikings did it with blood. Today it's usually bubbly; wine if it's a Cunard ship. Today the Queen christened P&O Cruises' gleaming white, red and blue Britannia in Southampton with a Nebuchadnezzar of sparkling wine from the Wiston Estate Winery in Sussex.

The Queen has previously christened the Royal Yacht Britannia and four other cruise ships: the QE2, the Oriana (another P&O ship) and Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth.

But her presence here today was significant for the cruise line which has spent nearly half a billion pounds building a contemporary ship, a "modern classic" for the British cruising market.

I guess the name "Britannia" brought some bittersweet memories for HM today ...

Oh, isn't she pretty in peach? It's so wonderful that she still attends functions. Our day becomes colourful and the sun shines brighter when we get to see Her Majesty!

 

[wyevale]

I only hope HMQ was given decent brooch for performing what must have been a rather [emotionally] difficult engagement...
