Queen Elizabeth II puts up great front amid news of frailty

Queen Elizabeth II is putting up a great picture for a 'frail' monarch with new photos.

Spotted with a wholehearted smile, the Queen is viewing the display of hand-decorated teapots in newly release photos.

On Wednesday, the 95-year-old glanced through the antiques sans wheelchair at Windsor Castle.

She also donned glasses to examine the artefacts and also watched a demonstration of traditional enameling by hand by master artisans.

Meanwhile, expert Robert Hardman tells GB News that the monarch is in "very good spirits” even though she is "largely confined" to using a wheelchair.

Speaking on GB News, he said that “Mobility is something of an issue now…I’m told by those very close to her that she's in very good spirits, you know - absolutely pin-sharp as ever.

“But, but there is a mobility [issue] inevitably when you're coming up to your 96th birthday and also dignity, I think it's terribly important.

“She is the Queen, she wants to be seen as the Queen, she wants to look the part.”
