You’ve seen many photos of Queen Elizabeth being very serious and formally dressed because she is carrying out an official engagement. She always looks perfect, because she must, she is a ruling monarch.
The Royal family has very strict rules when it comes to dressing up at public events. And, there are rules about how you should behave at official engagements. So, it is normal that Queen Elizabeth is following those strict rules. But of course, there are times, when the Queen is at her home and that’s the time when she can relax a little bit. Maybe you think that Her Majesty is very formal at home too, but that’s not the case. Her Royal biographer says that she is much funnier than everybody thinks, she likes to relax when she’s home, and she is just a normal person.

Maybe to you, it seems that what Queen Elizabeth does is pretty easy. But, it’s not. She has a full-time job and it is a very serious job. Her Majesty has one big passion, and that’s horses. She loves horses, so when she talks to someone she likes to talk about horses. And that’s something that she will talk about even on her official engagements.
And something that is really interesting is that The Queen is always using her handbag to send different signals to her staff and her guards. So, we can say that Queen Elizabeth can speak a secret language. And this sign language helps her keep everything in order.
Her Majesty is also a great advice giver, Prince Harry said that he goes regularly to her for advice about his personal life.
