Royal fans were delighted to see photos of The Queen looking in good health this week.
The 96-year-old monarch, who has faced ongoing mobility issues, carried out the historic duty at her home in Aberdeenshire for the first time, rather than Buckingham Palace. It marks the first time that Her Majesty was pictured since arriving at Balmoral for her summer holiday on July 21.
The Queen has been suffering from episodic mobility problems since last autumn, promoting staff to ask new Prime Minister Liz Truss to travel to see the Queen, shortly after Boris Johnson's exit. With her hair neatly curled, the monarch, dressed in a blouse, cardigan and a Balmoral tartan skirt, stood as she met Ms Truss.
