Tea time with the ladies at the Women Institute

22:00:00

Smiling and in good health this Thursday January 19th Queen Elizabeth II put a smile those who were still worried about her state of health after her "big cold" late last year. With two public appearances mostly to attend Mass on two consecutive Sundays, the 90-year-old sovereign asumed her first official appointment of 2017. Having done this yearly, this annual engagement is attended whenever she stays at her Sandringham Castle in Norfolk, She attended the local chapter of WI meeting, the British Women's Institute, of which she has been a member since 1943.

Her Majesty always a fan of bright colors, was wearing a bright fuchsia-colored coat on a dress combining the tone of pink with red, and was welcomed by the chapter's vice-president in the area Of Sandringham. She then joined the other members to listen to a lecture accompanied by tea and cupcakes.

The WI was created in 1915 in the First World War. It was originally intended to revitalize rural communities and encourage women to become involved in food production. With 212,000 members in 6,300 clubs, it is the largest women's organization in the UK.
