Here is a fun and unusual image of Queen Elizabeth II in a hard hat and white overalls during a visit to the Silverwood Colliery in Yorkshire in 1975. The late Queen, accompanied by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, toured the coal mine to mark its centenary celebrations and even descended around 600 yards underground to visit the coalface itself. To reach certain areas, both Her Majesty and Prince Philip reportedly had to stoop through the narrow tunnels certainly one of the most extraordinary and unexpected royal engagements of her reign. #thequeen #royal #visit

Ladies and Gentlemen, Queen Elizabeth II may have looked polite and graceful… but this photograph reminds us she was certainly not a Monarch to be messed with. 👑😂 Here, Her Majesty is visiting British troops during a military demonstration, where she was shown how to operate a mounted machine gun in the pouring rain proving that even behind the pearls and handbags was a Queen with real wartime experience and a strong connection to the Armed Forces. #thequeen #royal #uk

Did you know that Queen Mary became famous for quietly “acquiring” items she admired while visiting grand homes and country estates?

Edward VIII made history in 1936 when he became the first British monarch to voluntarily give up the throne. After less than a year as King, Edward chose to abdicate so he could marry the American divorcée Wallis Simpson, a decision that shocked both the Royal Family and the nation. His famous declaration that he could not carry out his duties “without the help and support of the woman I love” remains one of the most extraordinary moments in royal history, forever changing the course of the monarchy. 👑❤️ #theking #royal
