On Monday, Queen Elizabeth II was all smiles at the Chelsea Flower Show 2022. The 96-year-old monarch was seen smiling from ear to ear at the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual floral festival in West London.
Keith Weed, President of the Royal Horticultural Society, was photographed driving the queen around the event grounds in a buggy for a tour of the gardens. To match the occasion, she wore a stunning pink suit dress with a pearl necklace and a flower broach.
The queen’s most recent public appearance comes after it was revealed that she has mobility issues.

“The Queen continues to have episodic mobility problems and has reluctantly decided not to attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow in consultation with her doctors,” the statement said at the time.
