The Queen traveled with members of her family to Scotland for their traditional week of events north of the border.
The 96-year-old monarch, who has cut back on public relations due to mobility issues, was in Edinburgh for the historic Ceremony of the Keys – the traditional opening of Holyrood Week for the Royals.
Her youngest son, Edward, and his wife, Sophie, known as the Earl and Countess of Forfar while in Scotland, joined her for the event, which takes place at Holyroodhouse Palace.
