Does anybody else think the Queen has lost weight?

According to the family fashionista she’s bang on trend with her loose fitting dresses. ?

Maybe she read the rather personal remarks a few weeks ago about how she needed a good fitting bra and has decided to opt for looser fitting clothes instead.

her eyes are bright and she was animated. I was taught `to observe` she looks very well, best not to carry extra weight at her age

We thought she looked frail but she is 96 so not surprised. She looks really good, bless her.

It isn’t unusual but what I find odd is that her watch strap wasn’t altered so that we wouldn’t see that it sags and that her dress wasn’t altered to fit her.
Seems odd.

Yes, her clothes need altering to fit. They don't need to be tight but the fit of her dresses wouldn't pass muster on the Sewing Bee.

Yes, she is looking thinner. Maybe she prefers her dresses too big to hide it a bit.
But, yes, she is amazing for her age, bright and articulate still.

The Queen has lost weight but is still remarkable for her age.
I wonder if she’s putting her house in order after the health scare. Andrew, Camilla - clear responsibility as ever from Her Majesty.

Showing concern is just showing you care.

I’m glad the Queen now uses a walking stick. I was so afraid she would stumble it was getting to the point where I was almost holding my breath and watching through my fingers. ?

But, she isn’t just someone. I don’t think the OP was being critical simply concerned.

The death of one’s husband must be so hard to bear without the worry of other family member’s questionable behaviour.
I am not a royalist but feel so sorry for this poor lady.

Weight loss and frailty is not unusual in the elderly.

Yes...but that’s normal as part of the ageing process, and grief of course.

I don't thimk so one else's health or otherwise is any of our business. Her close family will know what is going on.

It is not necessarily intrusive to feel concern though.

Her husband has died, her son facing allegations, her grandson
stabbed her in the back and about to do so again, knows her eldest son is going to get criticism when she dies, she can no
longer ride her beloved horses, can’t walk around her parks,
no surprise she has lost weight.

I think she looks thinner but is at that age muscle bulk that’s gone. My 90y old stepfather looks the same. Her face is relaxed and she has a beautiful smile. I don’t think she’s poorly. In fact I think she looks serene. Maybe worrying about her husband’s I’ll health the last few months of his life took its toll. Now he’s gone she’s not worrying anymore on his behalf.
I do think her dresses look baggy now and that doesn’t help - they just accentuate her altered shape but no matter, she’s happy and probably more comfortable.

No need for concern. Ageing process - she is battling on to 100 don’t forget.

She has certainly shrunk latterly, but so do many older ladies. Also, I bet her appetite is small nowadays, and just doesn’t eat (and drink) much.

The other lady is Angela Wood, who helped to invent Coronation Chicken when she was only 19!

yes, her weightloss was mentioned as a concern on the news when she spent a night in hospital and was told to rest back in Oct 2021.
I am concerned.

She has certainly lost weight, but that often happens in old age, she is also stooping a little, this last year has certainly taken a toll. However she has not lost that brilliant smile.

I agree Aldom such family problems must weigh heavily on her without the support of Prince Philip.

Age is one consideration, but the Queen was widowed not very long ago. She, like many others, puts on a 'brave face', but as so often happens with bereavement, she has lost weight. The Queen has other 'family' worries too. I'm not surprised the poor lady is thinner.
