BlueSky yes he is an Italian Count but they don't rate the such in Italy now just a courtesy name I think.
He is certainly an attractive man and she got herself a new step-son as well lucky girl.

I thought Beatrice's husband was an Italian Count, not English?

Healed!

Probably leg ulcers. My granny had them for years. No treatment (and she had a lot of different treatments) ever health them.

No but I noticed how smart and good looking Beatrice's husband is, a proper English gentleman! No wonder she didn't want to miss the chance to marry him!

I wouldn't care what my legs looked like if I was fortunate enough to even reach that age.

It was interesting to read that both the dress and the tiara was lent to Beatrice by the Queen, who last wore the tiara on her own wedding day. The dress, the Queen wore at one of her meetings a number of years ago and Beatrice had it specially modelled to fit herself.

I have often noticed those marks on the Queen’s legs in pictures as she has aged.

I suppose even with the best attention money can buy, 90 year old legs just don’t look like 20 year old legs.

I didn’t notice....I was too busy staring at that wonderful display of roses.

If anything, it will be veins which do surface as you get older.
You should see my foot ! It looks as though I've been got-at.

Looks like discolouration to me which bearing in mind her age it isn’t unusual.

I was just looking at the pictures of Bea's wedding in the paper. Has anyone else noticed what appear to be nasty sores on the Queen's legs? Or maybe it is the light.
