THE PASSING OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH

The last time Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited Nassau, Bahamas (March, 1994), my husband Erskine's secretary Marcia and I went out on a highway, where we knew the royal couple would be driving back to the airport.

We stood on a grass verge with no one else around as they drove past. I had made a little British Union Jack on a stick and Marcia had a little Bahamian flag. We stood there waving furiously at them as they passed us by. The Queen waved back.

I often wondered if they ever remembered those two lone figures waving little flags at them on an isolated Bahamian highway!

“THE QUEEN’S 90TH BIRTHDAY EDITION” – “THE LADY” MAGAZINE 15 APRIL 2016

Isn’t this a beautiful cover for this week’s spectacular edition of “The Lady" magazine, London, England? Queen Elizabeth II is apparently still taking care of her royal duties and riding her horses every week! There are lots of interesting "Queen"-themed articles in this issue!

About “The Lady” magazine:

“Brimming with intelligent, practical and interesting features, The Lady magazine covers news, travel, cookery, health and gardening, every week. Now edited by Sam Taylor, The Lady was first launched in 1885 and is England’s longest running weekly magazine for women, notorious over the years for its much loved classified advertisement section.

“Independently run, The Lady was founded by Thomas Gibson Bowles, maternal grandfather of the Mitford sisters, who started The Lady upon his wife’s suggestion that a women’s magazine would prove popular. Since then, The Lady has remained within the same family and is now under the management of publisher, Ben Budworth.”
