The Queen, right, and Andrew, left, standing during the day time together on some balcony looking outwards. Andrew is in a top hat and dark suit with a blue tie and white shirt. Queen Elizabeth is in some silver dress or suit coat with a pastel flower print top underneath. She’s wearing a pearl necklace and a giant broach on her left shoulder, and a matching hat with pastel flowers on it. Very innocent and respectable looking, while she protected her favorite son’s royal position and money.

A picture of the royal family. The Queen stands on her balcony at Buckingham Palace with Charles on her right and Andrew on her left, in their scarlet military dress uniforms. Members of the Royal family are gathered all around her as they smile and talk to each other while the Queen looks directly ahead, smiling. She is wearing a creamy golden color suit, with a matching hat that has intricate embroidery, with a pearl necklace and pearl earrings.
