Prince Harry Introduces The Queen to Team of Walking with The Wounded Before Trek to South Pole Starts on Sunday

THE QUEEN joked around with a number of injured servicemen today, ahead of their Walking With The Wounded trek to the South Pole, which will include the charity's patron Prince Harry.

The three teams - who will battle it out on the frozen wasteland this winter - were introduced to Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh at buckingham Palace today by the Prince, who took the opportunity to show his grandparents some of the kit they will be taking with them.

And when asked if she had been to Antarctica, the Queen replied: "Of course not! I can't think of any reason why I'd want to!"

The Walking With The Wounded teams are making their final preparations for the 200-mile (322km) expedition before they set off on Sunday, and Harry showed the Queen and Duke the different types of jackets they will use. Click link for full post from EXPRESS.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
