She is the Queen who lives like a King. The world is her oyster. Along with her daughter and her first cousin, she had a right royal night out last week.
Queen Elizabeth, 89, who rarely goes out to dine at a restaurant in London, surprised everyone as she went out for dinner with her daughter Princess Anne and her first cousin Princess Alexandra. She was seen arriving at Bellamy’s in Mayfair, the same restaurant she dined at last time some 10 years ago.
According to a report in The Times, her rare foray into the capital’s nightlife was to Bellamy’s in Mayfair to celebrate the 90th birthday of one of her oldest friends, Lady Penn, a former lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother.
The monarch was her usual impeccable self, wearing a glitzy green dress and strands of pearls for the royal reunion.
She did not leave until well after 11. Some 70 guests are understood to have attended.
The Queen when she is not having to endure formal banquets is only too happy to dine quietly with Prince Philip, The Times reported.
Lady Penn knew Princess Elizabeth when they were both teenagers.
