The Queen's physical and psychological wellbeing are at the centre of
mounting speculation in the British media.
One report this week claimed she was in the grip of deep depression
following a string of recent "hammer blows", including the deaths of the
Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.
Others have pointed to the 76-year-old monarch's increasingly frail
appearance since she left hospital following surgery on her right knee
almost three weeks ago.
The Daily Mail claimed the Queen's first public outing since the operation
evoked clear memories of her late mother, who died last year aged 101.
She was pictured leaning heavily on a walking stick and was "clearly in
some discomfort", the newspaper reported.

The People newspaper, meanwhile, claimed senior courtiers were desperately
concerned for her.
"The Queen is a shadow of her former self. She is in turmoil," an aide was
quoted as saying. "The events of the last year have finally hit home and
she is not coping well. She is withdrawn, weak and almost defeatist."
Preparations for the possible coronation of Prince Charles are said to have
gathered pace. The Independent on Sunday claimed plans had already been
drawn up for Charles to be crowned in a "dress down" ceremony in line with
the acclaimed "people's funeral" of his former wife, Princess Diana.

Many documents relating to the abdication of Edward VIII are known to have
been withheld or destroyed. A few have recently been released now that the
Queen Mother has died. They give a fascinating insight into how our "free"
and "independent" media have routinely covered up royal scandals.
