Queen Elizabeth is mellowing with age — or so she says!
Meeting with soldiers on Friday to mark Wales’s national celebration day, she observed that they were less intimidated by her than in years past.
“She commented at lunch how much more engaging soldiers are these days,” said Major General James Swift, the Regimental Colonel of the Royal Welsh regiment. “She thinks it is because she is now a little older that she is now a little less frightening, which gives you a view of her humility.”
The Queen, who will be a young 91 in April, is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Welsh.
