Her Majesty the Queen was seen in thoughtful contemplation as she made her way from Wood Farm, a quaint five-bedroom cottage nestled within the Sandringham Estate, to a helicopter that would whisk her back to Windsor Castle.

Dressed in an olive green trench coat layered over a white cardigan and a blue dress, the Queen appeared to be in good health.

She completed her ensemble with classic pearl earrings and a matching necklace, staples that reflect her timeless style.

The ride back to Berkshire coincided with a challenging time for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is currently grappling with one of the most severe political crises of his tenure.

Just hours before the Queen’s departure, Johnson faced a wave of resignations from key members of his cabinet, starting with Health Secretary Sajid Javid and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak.

These departures were a direct fallout from the scandal involving former Tory Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher.

Adding to the Prime Minister’s woes, Will Quince, the Children’s Minister, also resigned earlier today.

Quince had been tasked with defending Johnson in media circles regarding his awareness of the allegations against Pincher.

In his resignation letter, he expressed gratitude for Johnson’s apology but lamented the misleading information he had received from Number 10.

“It is with great sadness and regret that I feel I have no choice but to tender my resignation,” Quince wrote, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

Despite the government’s upheaval, Johnson remains resolute in his position.

During today’s Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs), he addressed inquiries from Labour MP Ian Lavery about funding for the Wandsbeck constituency.

“Hang on in there, that’s what I’m going to do,” he assured the public, indicating his determination to weather the storm.

The Queen appointed Boris Johnson as Prime Minister back in July 2019, marking a significant moment in her reign.

He became the 14th Prime Minister to serve during her historic tenure, which has now spanned seven decades—an unprecedented milestone in British history.

Before returning to Windsor, the Queen spent time at Sandringham following a series of engagements during Holyrood Week.

This annual tradition involves the monarch and other royal family members visiting Scotland, engaging with local business owners, charity leaders, and royal enthusiasts from late June to early July.

The Royal Scottish Week kicked off on June 27, with the Queen participating in the ancient Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.

The following day, she honored John Wallace, a celebrated Scottish trumpet soloist, by presenting him with the Queen’s Medal for Music 2021.

On the third day of her visit, the Queen held a private meeting with Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.

This discussion came shortly after Sturgeon announced her intention to pursue a second referendum on Scotland’s independence, a topic she had already communicated to the Prime Minister.

On her final day in Scotland, the Queen attended the Redendo parade at the Palace of Holyroodhouse gardens, where she was seen using a light walking stick for support.

Accompanied by her son and heir, Prince Charles, she appeared to embrace the moment despite the challenges she faces.

Looking ahead, Buckingham Palace has indicated that the Queen hopes to participate in a significant event next week.

Scheduled for July 12, Her Majesty is set to present the George Cross to representatives of the NHS during a meaningful audience at Windsor Castle.

However, her attendance will ultimately depend on her mobility on that day, reflecting the ongoing concerns regarding her health.
