Today, April 27, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth was spotted leaving Sandringham and returning to Windsor Castle, according to Express UK.

The 96-year-old monarch appeared to be deep in thought as she was driven away from Wood Farm, the cottage where her late husband Prince Philip lived after retiring from royal duties, according to pictures shared by the outlet.

The Queen is said to have spent the last few days at Wood Farm and also celebrated her birthday at Sandringham last week.

She was reportedly driven in a Range Rover to a waiting helicopter, which flew her to Windsor Castle.

According to royal insiders, the Queen’s short birthday getaway to Sandringham was a “positive step” as she continues to struggle with health and mobility issues.

One source was quoted by The Mirror saying: “The Queen is taking a well-earned break and will mark her birthday very modestly this year. She feels very at home at Wood Farm and close to her beloved husband and it’s wonderful she was able to travel to enjoy the getaway.”
