The Queen has made her first public engagement since Prince Andrew settled his civil case out of court.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Duke of York had settled the US civil sexual assault case brought by Virginia Giuffre.
He agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to Giuffre’s charity as part of the settlement.
Her Majesty, 95, has now been seen out for a royal engagement following the news.

Another wrote: “So lovely to see Her Majesty, she looks amazing as always.”
A third added: “Her Majesty look radiant.”
Andrew settles out of court
It comes after royal fans insisted the news of Andrew’s settlement will be respite for the Queen.
A court document released yesterday read: “Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew have reached an out of court settlement.
“Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity in support of victims rights.”
Ms Giuffre accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was 17, allegations he’s always denied.
The document added: “Andrew regrets his association with Epstein…
“…and commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others.”
One royal fan said following the news: “Let’s hope this will give the Queen a bit of respite.”
Another added: “I’m a little bit relieved Prince Andrew settled out of court for the Queen’s sake.”
