In celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s historic Platinum Jubilee, Buckingham Palace has released a new portrait of the 95-year-old, who marks 70 years on the throne Sunday.The image, which was taken in the Saloon at Sandringham House earlier this week by photographer Chris Jackson, shows the British monarch alongside one of her iconic red despatch boxes, which contains documents from the government for her review. She’s dressed in a lime green tweed shift, designed by Angela Kelly, and wears two diamond ivy leaf clips, which were a 21st birthday gift from the Queen Mother. The photograph on the table beside the Queen is of her father, King George VI, at Buckingham Palace in 1948.”HM The Queen has reigned for 70 years, the longest of any British Monarch, an incredible achievement. This weekend she becomes the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee,” wrote Jackson on Instagram. “It was a huge honour to capture this photograph of Her Majesty at Sandringham to recognise this important milestone, doing what she does best, getting on with the job as she works on papers from her iconic ‘ red box’ in Norfolk, somewhere she clearly feels very at home.” In addition to the photo, Queen Elizabeth released a statement Saturday to mark the Jubilee. In it, she shared her “sincere wish” that Camilla should be known as Queen when Charles takes to the throne.”When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes king, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me,” the monarch wrote. “And it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”The message ties up a loose end that has hung over the House of Windsor since Charles’ divorce from the popular Princess Diana.
