I know that I’m mad; but I'm not sure if it’s her… ?

Yes, HM wears a uniform of sorts.
The shawl that she wore yesterday was beautiful

She wasn't on duty.

I think her usual style was suggested by her dressmaker so that she could be easily spotted in a crowd.

Well someone has given her a clothes make-over as well. Surely that loose jacket she wore to the Jubilee celebrations isn't her usual style.?

Has anyone seen Jeannette Charles recently

Granmaderby -
I imagine that she can !

Perhaps the tighter perm has been done to save her hours sitting having it done .
I once had a perm -never again !

Esmay…..well if our Queen can’t afford good dentistry then who can??

She looked like the Queen to me.

No-one else would have that hairstyle surely?

Except my Mum - I could put it in rollers with my eyes closed!!

Callistemon21 are you my sister? My mum had the Queen’s exact hairstyle all her married life. She went to bed with her rollers and pin curls in every single night. Her hair was always immaculate.

My Mum went to a male hairdresser for years - I used to wonder why he never suggested she varied the style. He used to perm it.
When she wasn't able to go any more I used to wash and set it for her, and could probably do it in my sleep!

My mum had the same hairstyle as well! And the perm. She once tried in her 90s to just have it cut short in a sort of elfin style. She hated it so much and had it permed as soon as it was long enough.

She is always much more smiley when doing something she enjoys, like being around horses. Maybe it was one of those unfortunate photos that caught her unawares and made her look odd - I expect we've all had (and binned) them.

Hi Fanny ,
I don't think that you are crazy .
Her Majesty does look a little different
BUT
I don't think that it's doppelganger/replacement.
She's been ill and was probably on antibiotics and steroids .
Maybe she's on a new medication regime .
I always think thst her teeth are amazing for her age !

Good luck to her .
I really hope that she has some sort of retirement and can relax and enjoy -children, grandchildren, horses and dogs .
God Bless her !

Just to clarify, I don’t really believe that the Queen has a doppelgänger or a stand in; sorry, I was just being a bit daft

Apologies if I’ve annoyed some of you.
It won’t be for the first time, I know

However, I do think that the photos to which I referred were quite strange, and as someone said upthread, they show the Queen in a way that is unlike how we usually see her.
The photo that was widely published and which was printed on the cover of this Saturday’s Times was much more like we typically see HM.

And I must say, she does look absolutely incredible for her great age.
I wonder which skincare she uses

So.... what we know so far is that HMQ has a doppelganger who attends sporting events for her because the real HMQ is smiling too much because she has early stages of Alzheimer's. Riiiigght.

So if it's HM what are they giving her to make her so smiley????

She is smiling because she has seen a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel, when Charles takes over all the boring formal bits, and she can concentrate on her horses, dogs and grandchildren for a few years.

Should have gone to Specsavers?

Blimey. What next? The World's gone mad.

Oh, for goodness' sake.

I thought she looked a bit more animated/smiling than usual , usually she can be bit po -faced in photos but perhaps this is something she wanted to do rather than being made to do. But it did remind me of my mum in the early stages of Alzheimer's, she could be over the top in her emotions .

She looks like she’s having fun, good on her ??

The Queen is of course absoltely wonderful but I dont think her new hairstyle really suits her. She needs her previous style which was much softer -no tight curls like she has now...

Terribull! ?

I like that she's looking so happy these days. Her clothes have changed a bit too. More flowery dresses than formal coats and hats. All good!
