It was said to be in bad shape, but nothing could have prevented the Queen of England from being present this Sunday at the special ceremony organized for the baptism of her two youngest great-grandchildren.
According to the Press Association, the ceremony took place at the Royal Lodge in Berkshire, home of Prince Andrew and his wife Sarah Ferguson.
Zara Philips, daughter of Princess Anne, and Princess Eugenie, daughter of Duke York, had indeed decided to baptize their sons Lucas and August on the same day.
The outing is notable as it was the Queen's second public outing in four days since her health concerns.
Last month, the monarch had been hospitalized for twenty-four hours, without further clarification on the causes, and until November 17, she had had to cancel most of her appointments.
