Does anybody else think the Queen has lost weight?

As maddyone says. And yes, I have noticed that her shoulders in particular have gone very thin and narrow. But she looks amazing for her age, and this is quite a normal process.

My mum was very thin at her age too.

No, we shouldn’t be concerned. She’s a very old lady who is actually quite remarkable for her age, but she’s not going to live forever. People get old and die, even the Queen.

Sparklefizz, yes I agree, made a similar point earlier

I am wondering if she has had a diagnosis of "something" after her overnight stay in hospital, and that it's being kept under wraps.... hence the weight loss. She seems to be getting her house in order (think of Camilla)

The Queen has lost weight & is looking quite fragile, although her smile shone through when she hosted at Sandringham last weekend, (Saturday, on TV).

I think many will be concerned that she met with Prince Charles at Windsor just a couple of days before he tested positive for Covid.

I really hope that HM stays healthy for the June celebrations.

I think looking like you are losing weight in old age is largely due to the loss of muscle mass. I’ve seen elderly horses with their ribs showing through their skin who still ate as much if not more than they’d ever done.

Most people look frail and small when they get to that age surely
She looks fine for such advance years

She undoubtedly now looks her age, I hope if I reach her age I look as good, though. But, I believe she will soldier on until the end.

Plus , she has had years of experience regarding family ups & downs.

It is not at all unusual as we get older for us to loose weight. So I don’t think we need to be concerned , I expect that she can pick & choose what she wants to do.

Of course I hope I'm wrong and that she has a few years in her still.
But it's the suddenness of the weightless that's concerning.
Probably all the stress her family's put on her recently.
Shame on them.

She's starting to fail.
She's hasn't just lost weight, her shoulders have become very narrow and she's shrunk all over and all of a sudden.
Sadly it's a sign that she doesn't have long.
My mother in law went from being stocky to a fragile little bird overnight and died 6 months later.

Oh dear, Prince Charles was with her 2 days before testing positive

She is remarkable for almost 96. She is still smiling despite all she has been through recently. She has gone thinner but my mum did as she aged.

MayBeMaw Thank you for the chuckle xxx

Yes judging by that dress

For her age HM is quite able although shrinking noticeably, nice clothes that look good does become a concern. I hope I look that good at 95.

SueDonim my mother-in-law is exactly the same as you describe.

My mum is just a year younger than the Queen, at 94. My mum has always been on the larger side but her upper body in particular is now getting thinner.

I don’t think either the Queen or my mum looks frail, though. Both are animated in their presentation and interested in life.

MayBeMaw are you concerned about every elderly person losing weight (a normal occurance) or only about Mrs Windsor?

What a silly question.

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

Yes, t thought the same! They don’t look too big or ill fitting, they look stylish and comfortable to me. Much better than fussy, tight, restrictive clothes.

I think she still rides. There was a picture of her on horseback not long ago. For such a great age she is fantastic and it's quite normal to lose weight when bereaved. She's still got her beautiful smile. ?

I do think age has a lot to do with it, but you have to factor in that she will still be mourning Prince Philip. As stoic as she is in public, it must be taking its’ toll.
