Nice to see thhise photos. The Royal family has certainly had it's share of challenges this past year. Hope the Queen is feeling better. Looks great in photo.
Charles looks a tad tired. One can understand why. Katherine is lovely, as usual. and I assume is still a tad delecate following the long period of CA treatments.
The very best to them all.

Queen Camilla, 77, was asked about her health when she joined domestic abuse survivors, advocates and staff from Women's Aid to celebrate the organisation's 50th anniversary.

In an impromptu speech, the Queen vowed to help end domestic abuse and said: "It's terrible that after 50 years it still has to be eradicated but we are making progress."
