Queen Elizabeth reappears in public after the last-minute forfeit that forced her to give up attending the concluding rite of the Remembrance Day commemorations in honor of the British war dead. It reappears, yes, but not outside - the tabloids point out - but inside Windsor Castle.
The 95-year-old sovereign granted an audience to General Nick Carter, outgoing chief of staff of the British armed forces, and the Buckingham Palace entourage released a snapshot of the meeting.
From what we learn, in this period Elizabeth would be afflicted by health problems due to age, which also forced her to be hospitalized for unspecified "checks".
The court doctors also prescribed absolute rest, so much so that the queen even skipped trips already scheduled.
The latest images released show her intent on conversing affably, wearing a "floral" dress. On the occasion, the sovereign said she was "sad" for the general's farewell after his long service.
