King Charles remembers Queen Elizabeth II with personal tribute

The Queen cut a regal figure wearing a green jacket with red and green tartan lapels and a green hat decorated with a feather. She smiled at awaiting photographers and camera crews as she held her handbag on her lap.

The poignant anniversary comes the day after the King and Queen were pictured at the annual Braemar Highland Games in Scotland. Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch, died peacefully at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire, on 8 September 2022, aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. Her death was the moment her son and heir Charles became King, with his coronation later taking place on 6 May 2023.

Charles has already seen three prime ministers in his two-year reign, and has carried out state visits to France, Germany and Kenya, as well as hosting the leaders of South Africa and South Korea, and the Japanese Emperor.
