Queen Elizabeth and Prince Edward Launch The Commonwealth Games Relay Race 2022

The Queen was joined by her youngest son, the Earl of Wessex, to launch The Queen's Baton Relay for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

In the monarch's first major engagement at Buckingham Palace since the pandemic began, she placed her message in the baton before Paralympic gold medallist Kadeena Cox carries the symbol on the first leg of its journey.

The Queen's message was automatically sealed in the "smart" baton, enhanced with cutting-edge technology, and will be read at the opening ceremony of the Games in Birmingham on 28 July 2022. Read more from HELLO Magazine

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./
