Queen Elizabeth II opened a new railway line at Paddington station

_______________________________

Today at 11:32 am British time, the 96-year-old Queen of Great Britain arrived at Paddington Station, accompanied by her middle son, Prince Edward, on the occasion of the official opening of a new railway line. She stepped carefully out of the transparent elevator, leaning on a cane, and gave those present a warm smile. Note that this is the third appearance of Her Majesty in public in a few days. Elizabeth wore a sunny yellow look of a Stewart Parvin wool crepe coat, a Rachel Trevor-Morgan hat and a silk A-line dress in shades of yellow, teal and blue.

Her Majesty’s presence was not publicly announced, but an hour and a half before the monarch’s appearance, the London Transport Authority removed the Crossrail nameplate and replaced it with one bearing the Queen’s name. Obviously, the line was specially renamed in honor of Her Majesty, who this year celebrates the Platinum Jubilee of her reign. In addition to the Queen herself and Prince Edward, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, politician Grant Shapps and Labor MP Sadiq Khan attended the opening.

At the station, Elizabeth bought a limited-edition Elizabeth Line Oyster Card, which had already been topped up with £5 especially for the Queen, who hardly ever uses cash. The customer service assistant then demonstrated to the monarch how the ticket machine worked.

The latest exits of the queen dispel the fears of the British about the imminent transfer of the throne. Despite the travel problems that Buckingham Palace has officially announced, the Queen attended the lavish Galloping Through History at Windsor Palace yesterday, closing the Royal Horse Show and the first in a string of celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee. Note that the Queen was in a great mood and constantly smiling.

It should be noted that in recent months, the queen was forced to cancel a number of meetings, and last week she completely missed the official opening of a new session of parliament. At the event, she was replaced by 73-year-old Prince Charles, who read a speech on behalf of Elizabeth, and 39-year-old Prince William. In addition, it was previously stated that the official celebrations on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen’s reign would also take place without her. In different countries of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty should be represented by Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Countess Sophie of Wessex.
