She arrived for her annual summer break at Balmoral just five days after the Royal baby was born. And now, almost two weeks later, the Queen appears to have relaxed into her two month holiday with ease. She was greeted by hordes of well-wishers as she inspected the troops outside the gates of Balmoral today as she arrived to take up official residence. She had landed in Scotland more than a week earlier, on 27 June, when she arrived by private aeroplane with her two corgis, Holly and Willow, for the break. Jolly good show!
