September 20, 2022 - 06:11 BST Rachel Avery Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died on 8 September, and over her 70-year reign the monarch was photographed thousands of times. See a rare photograph of the Queen off duty on her Sandringham Estate…The late monarch celebrated International Women's Day on her official Sandringham account, sharing a previously unseen photo of herself at home.
Her Majesty was pictured in the stunning orchards at Sandringham House in Norfolk, and she stood beaming for the camera with two pet dogs at her feet. We're used to seeing the Queen dressed up in her finery for official engagements but in this rare, relaxed shot, the monarch was pictured in her dressed-down attire, sporting a pleated tartan skirt, a jade green cardigan and a quilted gilet. She also wore a bright red head scarf, no doubt to protect her hairdo from the Northern winds.
"The Queen’s extraordinary reign has been longer than any other monarch in British history and dedicated to the service of the Commonwealth and its people. #IWD. Photography by Eric West & Richard Tilbrook taken in the Orchards at Sandringham." The Queen looks so joyful in this photo taken at home
