Addendum: You have to give her this as well - she looks pretty youthful and well preserved for a woman in her fifties - maybe she's inherited a gene or two from Great Great Grandmother Alix?
Oh Grace please!
I know a few ladies of an equivalent age who are,as you put it rather clinically,'well preserved' (makes them sound like they should n
aspic...), and they look much better than she does, and have less means to do so.
They don't dress like the local Oxfam shop, nor do they style their hair like a junior Mrs Pepperpot.....
Look at some of the other royal ladies , such as Pcss Alexandra, the Duchess of Kent (both older), the Duchess of Gloucester (about the same age) - all much better groomed and presented.....
