Yes, I believe that it is the same garment. The Queen repeats very much suit, is something very normal. The suit that she was dressing today put on it last week, and last week and the previous one repeated the same green suit. It is something very normal.

 

[*SofiaM*]

I have just seen on another board, (you've probably seen it aswell), that apparently in the Queen's biography or a book about her, she says that she doesn't like to cook at all and the King also says she is bad at these sorts of domestic things.Yes yes I know she is queen and has people to do it for her! This surprised me because I imagined her to be really 'hands on' with things like that..(if she has the time).
Does anyone know anything else about it, like have you read the book etc?

Thanks!

I do not believe myself much what says this article, this digital newspaper is not very trustworthy, already I have read in it several mistakes. Itspeaks on the commentaries of the Queen with a politician on the political current problems, and what will happen in the future. But it does not have very much felt, the Queen is a very discreet woman who is not in the habit of speaking about these things. It seems that it is more a rumor or something that someone has invented.

I also think that the Queen is too much discret to say that kind of things in public... because if this is true, i think that the Queen speaks about this just at home... because there the walls haven't ears.
And when i saw the article i think that it isn't true!! but any way i put the article here to see the opinions of the others.
What is the mistakes that you have read?

The Queen will initiate next Monday a trip to Guatemala and El Salvador to know on the area the consequences of the tropical storm "Stan".
