THE Queen has today pulled out of her annual visit to the Sandringham branch of the Womens Institute in Norfolk because she has a cold.
Her Majesty was unable to attend the meeting, which she goes to every year at West Newton village hall.
The 93-year-old monarch usually joins the WI ladies for tea and cake, then listens to a speech, which was made this year by BBC newsreader Huw Edwards.
The Queen has attended the WI group’s meetings since 1943 and took over as President from the Queen Mother, who in turn took over from Queen Mary.
She was last seen over the weekend, heading to church in Sandringham with her son Prince Andrew.
