Re: Interesting photo of the Queen

I am thinking that the Queen's head was placed on someone else's body.  The Queen would NEVER pose in this stance.  Yes, she would smile but the hands in the pockets -- NEVER!  Cat Mad

The picture and the story are from the book: The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe by Angela Kelly.

 

It is a wonderful book with lots of photos and stories!

Yes, it was a real pose.  "It was Kelly who suggested the Queen pose with her hands in her pockets, with Her Royal Highness jumping on board almost immediately."

 

A slightly different one

@proudlyfromNJ  How do you know that it is true?  All these years, you have never seen the Queen in that pose or something similar.  I still believe the photo has been modified.

Thanks @sunshine45 .  Yes, I can see it in your post. (In the OP, all I see is the word "Image" and it's not a live link.)

@Katcat1 It's IN THE BOOK.  There are a bunch of similar photos, the photographer's name and the whole story.  It is  not a fake photo.

I was pleased to see her looking "human" and that her dress actually had pockets.

 

I found it amusing some people hought this was a fake phonto.  Here is the story from People  Magazine.
