What did the Queen do last week?

Last week, Her Majesty, 94, held a meeting with the Governor of South Australia, Hieu Van Le.

During the engagement, the Queen unveiled a new statue of herself remotely.

The statue became installed in the grounds of Government House.

After seeing the statue, the Queen quipped: “I would think it must be quite alarming to suddenly see it out of the window.

“You’d think, gracious, has she arrived unexpectedly,” as she giggled.
