Queen Elizabeth sent many social media users wild after she appeared with a dark spot on her hand in a photo that send them asking what could have happened with her and the doctor was quick to respond.
Social media users spotted the bruise after the 92 year old was pictured posing with Jordan’s King Abdullah and Queen Rania, who were at Buckingham Palace with their son, Crown Prince Hussein.
At first, the Queen had her left hand behind her back at the meeting on Thursday, then posed for a group picture in which the bruise was clearly visible. Pressure Royal fan Tracy Edgar tweeted: “I love keeping up with Queen Elizabeth II but I’m concerned.
“Why does she have such a terrible bruise on her left hand? Did I miss something? But as always, she looks stunning!”
Buckingham Palace refused to comment.
Last year, under pressure, the Palace was forced to admit that the Queen had a cataract removed, after initially claiming that she had no health problem and was wearing sunglasses at public engagements only because it was sunny.
Doctors said the bruise was most likely caused by a minor injury. As people age, their skin gets thinner and they lose some of the fatty layer underneath that protects them from bumps and knocks.
They are also more prone to a fall.Other causes were an injection, drip or blood-thinning medicine.
Royal expert Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty Magazine, said the late Queen Mother, who was treated for anaemia, often wore plasters on her hand.
“She wouldn’t make any attempt to hide it,” he said. “She would have a plaster with Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck on it.”But he added: “I’d say the Queen’s problem is thinner skin.”Bruises usually take a couple of weeks to fade.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that the Duchess of Sussex will join a discussion panel of leading figures, including singer Annie Lennox, and Australia’s former prime minister Julia Gillard, to mark International Women’s Day on March 8.
