Her hidden message
As stated before, Her Majesty isn’t supposed to show her political stance. However, many noticed the Queen’s subtle message in the background that showed her support.
Indeed in the background of her audience with Justin Trudeau, a gorgeous bouquet of flowers is seen. These flowers were a mixture of blue and yellow, the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
Some have said this was simply a coincidence but Royal fans think otherwise. A senior royal source told The Sun‘very little tends to be an accident’ when it comes to the Queen.
It is also rumoured that the Queen donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to help Ukrainians and when Buckingham Palace was questioned they refused to comment and said that it was a private matter.
