The Queen - why is she not retiring?

[Mike]

Ultimately she must be in a lot of pain if she can't even sit in the carriage for a once around the local roads and a wave to the crowd. I do believe she said years ago that the Golden coach is extremely uncomfortable

That coach hollydolly, is really just a show piece, built in the 1600s or 1700s,
It has no springs, only leather straps, which make even the shortest journey
a painful experience.

The Hologram on the window is the Queen as she was filmed in 1953 during
her Coronation, in the parade afterwards.

Mike.

I Know Mike... that's the reason she couldn't ride in the Coach because as she's stated in the past, it has no suspension so it's too painful

She would find it very undignified to have to be lifted into a coach.

i know i've been in similar positions

Beautiful photo of the Queen in 1952...

..and her grandaughter-in-law.. Catherine.. wearing those same earrings.. at the funeral of Prince Philip last year...

Beautiful earrings however …Unless the earrings have been modified for Williams wife they look different to me .
