The Queen took a break from her annual summer break recently and welcomed in the new PM Liz Truss. She held an audience with her at her Scotland estate for the first time ever and while the public was happy to see the monarch, there are a few interesting things that everyone noticed.

Portable bell
In the amazing photos of the audience that have been circulating on the internet, eagle-eyed fans spotted a unique thing in her Drawing room. To the left of the Queen, there was a circular wooden coffee table that had a lamp on it and what appeared to be a small white box, confirms Hello magazine.
However, the item was later identified as a portable wireless doorbell that the monarch carries around with her and can use in case she needs any assistance. This comes as no surprise since she is currently living in a large property featuring some 52 bedrooms along with other rooms.
Fan delight
Despite what the fans saw in the photo, many were happy and delighted to see the 96-year-old monarch in public after July 21. The fans were quick to notice that while Her Majestyheld a cane in her hand, she didn’t appear to be heavily reliant on it. Fans took to Twitter and wrote:
It's great to see Her Majesty again, it's been too long!
She's so sweet. She's literally not just The Queen, but an angel.
Bruised hand
Meanwhile, some fans also expressed their concern about the substantial bruising on the Queen’s hands. One commented:
That's a nasty bruise on her hand.
While another added:
I’m so sad to see our wonderful Queen looking so weak. God bless HMTQ.
