A ROYAL author has suggested that the queen is starting to get “fed up” with a certain aspect of royal visits. Her Majesty is said to be growing tired of her famous Walkabouts , an event set up by her in the 70s, which see the Queen interact with the public and exchange a few words. According to Royal author Ian Lloyd, people no longer want to speak with the Monarch, and would rather "have their phones out". He told the Express : "These days people only want selfies and photographs of her, they just hold up their cameras or, even more alarming, their iPads so she is faced with a wall of that when she looks at the crowd, it's horrible. "Princess Anne once said that, because of their phones, people now only actually believe they have seen something if they can photograph it so they lose the immediacy, their memory.” Currently, it is unknown if the Queen will continue with her Walkabouts during the Jubilee, due to her reported mobility issues.

SCALING the highest echelons of a man’s world as a woman, Queen Elizabeth II has used her charm, glamour and even femininity to advance both the monarchy and the country since the start of her record-breaking 70-year reign. So it’s no surprise that many see her as the greatest female icon. But the Queen has never let her gender define her. She’s modest, capable and tough, and as her famous “never complain, never explain” motto proves, she just gets on with things. However, by doing just that – and with the utmost dedication – she’s inadvertently turned gender stereotypes on their head and done a huge amount for women, not least paving the way for our first female prime minister in Margaret Thatcher . This no-nonsense monarch is the only female royal to have entered the armed forces – of which she’s now head – and served during WW2.

THE Royal Family is helping Ukrainian refugees find safe homes in Britain — including on the Queen’s Balmoral estate. The royals have opened the doors to some of the thousands of properties they own or manage across the country. But the refugees have not been moved into palaces or with the royals because of “security implications”. A source told The Sun on Sunday: “All royal households have been involved in helping find accommodation for refugees.” Senior Buckingham Palace sources refuse to reveal where any Ukrainian refugees are housed to protect their identity and security. The Crown Estates owns 7,936 properties and businesses in England and Wales and the royals’ move comes as 50,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the UK.
