The Queen enjoys a rare night out with friends
Even at the age of 91, it seems the Queen still can’t resist a night out on the town – even in the rain. Londoners received the surprise of their lives when Her Majesty was spotted entering London’s famous Ivy restaurant on Thursday night.
According to the Sun, she was out to celebrate the 80th birthday of her friend, the Archduchess Helen of Austria. Her Majesty looked as elegant as ever, donning a beaded silver dress, black leather heels with a matching bag and keeping warm in a grey paisley shawl.
The Queen was spotted leaving the party with a coin purse gifted to her by Archduchess Helen, emblazoned with an old black-and-white photo of the birthday girl and her children.
Also in attendance at the invite-only event were Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and British actor and comedian, David Walliams. For security reasons, the upmarket eatery was closed to the public.
