She looks awful. Was the crown really necessary? That gold thing on the wall makes her makes her look like the Pope or something.
And what is that red thing tied around her arm/wrist?

That gold thing on the wall makes her makes her look like the Pope or something.

Maybe the photographer got the angle just a few degrees off and that's why the golden disk is not centered behind her head so as to give her a religious icon look. The angle elongated the look into a Papal hat effect which I think was not the intent.

I suspect the intent was to further the BS mythology put forth in Holy Blood, Holy Grail and followed up on by Dan Brown in his movie.

IOW they seem to think we're going to buy the crap that current royalty is descended from Christ, thereby reawakening the divine right of kings Bull Hockey.

Sorry, Cammie, no sale and you are not equipped in any category to promote it. Neither is the Trouser Tampon.

Probably a reminder for her to change her Depends.

I thought at first that it was part of her headgear.

Ohmigawd. That's a Kaballah bracelet (think West Coast New Age -y kind of Jewish religion - Madonna is a 'believer') . Does the Queen know her daughter-in-law has gone Jewish?!
