[HMQueenElizabethII]

Hillary,The Queen had made lots of visits in other countries when she wa young but she's old now,maybe it's not good for her health to travel alot.

i guess that is true...it's disappointing to not see her at recent royal weddings...other elderly monarchs are there wish she could be there too

Nice they dedicated a page to Queen Beatrix.


News:
The Royal Collection site has been renewed. Now there is a large section dedicated to the collection, with many pictures of paintings, portraits and the other treasures (see e-Gallery online). There's also a very nice portrait of Her Majesty. Find it!

There are no other monarchs her age that attend anything. Rainier was older and hadn't attended anything for years (if he ever did in the first place). Juan Carlos is 12 years younger and rarely attends anything. Harald is 13 years younger and sometimes skips events to sail. Albert is 9 years younger, Beatrix is 12 years younger, Margrethe is 14 years younger, Carl Gustaf is 20 years younger, Henri 29 years younger and they attend everything. She's of a different generation and is considerably older than those who attend everything, so she can't be compared to the rest.

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

I agree with you kelly.Why lots of people always complain the Queen about that?She's older than the other Monarchs who attend the events.Although she not attend,but it is so polite of her she always sends the representatives to attend.Maybe Prince Charles or the Wessexes are young and they comfortable with the events than the Queen.If you guys are as old as her will you go to attend the events?she is eighty already,maybe she could feel lonely with lots of young Royals who are not the same age as her around.The old people are not easily to get into the young people life.

 

[Iluvbertie]

she is eighty already,.

Please excuse the nit-pick but she has only just turned 79.

She will be 80 on April 21st 2006 - i.e. next year.

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

You are so.....Only one more year,so if i say The Queen is 79 and The Queen is 80 what is the different?OK,if you want i will change to 79 years old. But i do not know how to explain about you chrissy,so....

 

[Warren]

Compromise

How about we meet half way and say that Her Majesty is now in her eightieth year.
.

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Yeah maybe,i think in the end of her seventieth and at the beginning of her eightieth.
