My heart goes out to HM- I have sciatica too (thankfully no pain right now) and I know how painful it is.
Hopefully she is receiving treatment and taking whatever pain medication she needs for relief, & she'll be feeling better soon.

I don't know how truthful this article but it states that the Queen is planning to hand over a great majority of her public duties to Prince William over the next three years.

This was the same journalist that claimed several New York Muslims were offended by a half-naked billboard of Kate Moss across from their mosque. Actually nobody complained. Somebody saw the billboard across the street from mosque and thought it would make a tittilating story.

I think this article has very little to do with facts or truth. They seem to have forgotten that William is committed to training with the RAF and the Royal Navy, after he finishes at Sandhurst! :lol:
 
Queen Elizabeth Tops List Of "Britishness" Online Poll

Queen Elizabeth was the reigning majority vote on a recent internet poll. The monarch was seen at the top of the list of what "Britishness" means to youngsters in the U.K.
The survey - conducted by Google.com - asked Brits aged between 4-18-years-old to portray what "Britishness" meant to them through symbols, graphics and drawings.
 
Now this is good news. Extremely good news. In fact, it's made me smile.
 
I'm glad the news made you smile, Beatrixfan! They certainly made me smile as well, though there could hardly be any other answer in the poll, could there? :rolleyes:

Very true. I had started to worry about the younger generation and their view of the Queen but speaking to my cousins 7-11, they all said that they thought the Queen was a nice lady who was really special. Let's hope they keep that up!
 
HM Queen Elizabeth II meet polish president at palace


 
It's good to see Her Majesty up and about. I hope she is feeling better, but I still wonder is she will be able to perform the Opening of Parliament.
 
I agree but I can tell she is holding herself very stiff & still, a sure sign she is definitely experiencing pain :sad:
 
I'm glad you liked it! It really made me smile and I think it showed the great relationship the Queen had with her mother.
 
Here are some pics from yesterday:

Nice pics. Thanks, Avalon.

Her Majesty is wearing a silver fern brooch - nice touch! :) Do any of the Kiwis on the list know the story of that brooch?

On the occasion of the Queen's coronation, The Queen was presented with a diamond fern brooch by the women of Auckland on her visit to New Zealand. That is all I know :)
 
Where did the rumour come from in the first place? I've never heard it before.

Why do people start such rumours!! But it does seems as though the Queen is still in a great deal of pain. I noticed that during the New Zealand war tribute, her majesty seemed to be walking and even talking rather slowly, but that could do with her back medication.
 
What I dont understand is, this wasn't a rumour. There hadn't been any mention of it. So why are the Royalist reporting it? Are they starting a rumour just to have it denied so they can report a rumour being denied? Truly baffling.
 
Considering how long this alleged strained muscle has been a problem, it's not surprising that this sort of rumour would surface. The only surprise is that it's taken this long. I suppose we'll have to wait for developments - the first being whether the Queen misses the Opening of Parliament this week.

According to the article in The Royalist, the rumour started in The Times. There was a time when that would have been significant, but The Times these days is just one of the Murdoch rags.
