For most of us, the closest we’ll get to the Queen is a quick glimpse on TV or from afar at a public event. But for world leaders and famous folk, handshakes and conversation is on the cards - how exciting! There’s plenty of royal rules to follow when you meet the monarch, from bowing and curtseying to saying ‘ma’am’ like ‘ham’ and never showing her your back. But what if you do something wrong? On the odd occasion, Her Majesty has shown her famous disapproving ‘look’ - but it’s not what you think.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee will be tinged with sadness this year as our monarch remembers her late husband, Prince Philip. 2022 also marks two decades since the loss of her younger sister Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother, who died aged 101. It’s a year of reflection for Her Majesty, who’s also faced ill health and mobility issues - not to mention Prince Andrew’s sexual abuse lawsuit - but she’s stayed strong and will never ‘panic or collapse’, according to one royal expert.

Since the death of Prince Philip, Her Majesty the Queen has spent much of her time inside the peaceful walls of Windsor Castle. Our monarch’s absence from this month’s Commonwealth Service sparked worry among royal followers, and one insider claims she’s spending much more time in a wheelchair behind closed doors.The Queen has vowed to be devoted in service, but what does her daily life look like out of the public eye? According to Robert Hardman, author of Queen of our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II, she’s enjoying a less stressful routine including telly, but there’s still work to be done.

Ever since the Queen confessed that she “couldn’t move” last month, royal followers have become increasingly concerned about her health. Her Majesty reluctantly chose to miss the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey for the first time in a decade.

In an upcoming biography titled, "Queen of Our Times: The Life of Queen Elizabeth II", written by Robert Hardman, the author details the private pain the queen reportedly endured during the divorces of Prince Charles, Prince Andrew and Princess Anne.  "Outwardly stoical, as ever, the Queen was finding the divorce talks deeply upsetting," Hardman notes in the book, according to People.  Queen Elizabeth II reportedly struggled privately with the divorces of three out of her four children.
