I imagine we'll find out their status before the state visit. If they have married, he'll bring her as First Lady I assume.

This outfit is also at least 6 years old as there are pictures of HM wearing it in 2002...The butterfly brooch, however is less frequently brought out (this is only the 4th time I've seen it being worn)

I actually like the colour :) It really suits her. Since she stopped colouring her hair she can looked "washed out" in pastel colours IMHO, bright colours make her look much more vibrant :flowers:
 
Did she ever colour her hair?

Oh yes - it was well known that HM used a colour called "Chocolate Kiss"!! But she let it grow out over one summer a few years ago, after gradually allowing grey whisps to appear at the sides for a while.
 
I would think she would be afforded some modicum of privacy!

Very lovely pics of the Queen today:

Queen Elizabeth II is presented with a bunch of bananas by a patient
during a visit to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn, 24 January
2008. Elizabeth Hyde was given two bananas by the Queen Mother
during a royal visit to a hospital that she was staying at in 1943 and
decided to return the favour during the Queen's visit to open a new
radiology department.
Nice story, isn't it? :) On the second pics she seems to think:
Aren't these a bit too brown yet? ;)

Thanks iceflower for the pictures! As always, Her Majesty looked very lovely during her visit to the hospital.

You are welcome, ZandraRae and Russophile and selrahc4,
your ideas are great :D

Today the Queen and Prince Philip attended the Sunday service
held at St Mary Magdalene's Church, on the Sandringham Estate,
Norfolk together with Peter and his fiancee Autumn Kelly:

Thank you so much iceflower! I love how faithful the royals are about going to church on Sunday's and us getting to see pictures. I think it is really nice how Autumn is getting so adjusted to Peter's family, it seems as if they really like her, I hope the other grandchildren will follow suit. In the third picture Autumn looks like Lday Sarah Chatto, because that looks like a hat and coat Sarah would wear. Thanks again iceflower!:flowers:
 
Oh! I DO like that color HM wore with the coat! Nice!
Good Lord I'm so heathen I NEED to go back to church!!
 
6 years? Not really that long when you consider in the past he'd have probably been shot for treason or attempted regicide.

At least it's SOMETHING, honey! In some liberal places in America he'd get probation! :eek:
 
Maybe I'm too blood thirsty. Personally I'd have strapped him to a table and let everyone in Britain poke him with a knitting needle until he could takes no mores. But then I'm a Marquis. I mean a Sadist.
 
If this happened in Russia (if Russia had a Queen) the KGB would wait for him to swing the axe, (knowing in advance he had intended to) and then shoot him dead there and then through the head.
The axe missing the target by mere inches.
You can say one thing about Russians, they like to have clear evidence of intent to kill before taking decisive action!

You know Honey, that's one of your most endearing qualities and why we love you! :D
