The Duke of Ed. looks healthy. I thought someone mentioned he might not be in good health.

In “The Queen” (movie) they had her carrying her handbag everywhere, even around the house.

I think I wondered whether he was up to walking around Jamestown as in the initial photos he did not appear but in later ones he did appear probably just the photos submitted did not include him.

A lady and her handbag will not be parted LOL.

LOL! My late, lovely, mother in law used to do that, even after she'd had her bath, and was in her housecoat watching TV. I asked her once why she did it, and she said when she smoked, she kept her purse with her because it had her cigarettes and lighter. When she stopped smoking she still did it because she had tissues in it.

We'd gotten so used to seeing it, that when she died, and was laid out for the wake, my older sister mentioned that she didn't look right because she wasn't holding her purse. My s-i-l just howled laughing and said, "You're right!" Then she went and got Granny's purse and put it in the coffin with her. She looked just right, then.

A few years ago, the Queen visited Canada. She was scheduled to drop the puck in a pregame ceremony at a hockey game. I had a bet with a Canadian hockey fan that she would carry her handbag when she walked onto the ice. Sure enough. Gretzky escorted the handbag carrying Queen out on the ice, and I won my bet.

I wonder how many of those unusual kind of things she has done during her reign. She has done them with grace. My hat is off to her.
