After completing your participation in the “Remembrance Sunday “–Church service for back pain surprisingly had to cancel, shows Queen Elizabeth II (95) demonstratively in front of the camera on Wednesday.
Without a walker, with a firm stance, a smile on her face and determination in her eyes, the queen attends her public appointment here.
In her brightly colored floral dress she is talking to the Commander of the British Armed Forces, General Nicholas Carter. A message from the palace said the 95-year-old received the officer at Windsor Castle on the occasion of his departure.
But the gaze quickly wanders to the hands of the monarch – why are they so purple?

The strong purple coloring could possibly be due to the fact that the camera’s color settings are slightly incorrect – General Carter’s hands are also noticeably more purple than his face.
Another possibility: circulatory disorders. This is not unusual for the elderly.
And, it’s not the first time the British people have worried about the Queen’s hands. In 2019, at an appointment with the Jordanian royal couple, they looked very “blue-blooded” and also blotchy.

At the time, general practitioner Dr. Bertel Berendes to BILD: “The stains can be from a shock or indicate the use of blood-thinning medication.”
By the way, no public appearances by Elizabeth II are planned for the rest of the year. But the queen still wants to perceive one or two virtual audiences.
November and December are usually quieter months in the royal calendar anyway.
