The English are characterized by their traditional events, such as the meeting held by the incoming prime ministers with Queen Elizabethwhere they are entrusted with the task of running the government.
These usually take place in London or on the outskirts of the capital, at Windsor Palace. However, in an unprecedented event, the new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, had to move to Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

It was in this context that several social network users noticed the monarch’s physical condition, especially because of the bluish marks on her right hand.
After the “handshake”, Buckingham Palace released a photo of the meeting where Queen Elizabeth II asked Truss to form a new government. It is precisely this image that worried many followers of the sovereign.
“That’s a big bruise on her hand, the poor lady. I really hope he is well and in a good mood.” wrote one of the users on the official Twitter of the Royal Family.
while another follower said: “I wish the Queen a speedy recovery and hope her health stabilizes. What looks like a bruise on her hand is very large, it is worrying.”
Even, one took it with humor and made a reference to Harry Potter: “The Queen’s hand is already tainted after she destroyed the last Horcrux belonging to Boris Johnson moments before.”
