She may a monarch, the Queen of England, but it's clear to see from pictures that the 92-year-old royal plays another, very different role - that of granny. And what a wonderful granny she is! And as we say during her first outing with Prince Harry's new wife Meghan Markle in Cheshire yesterday, she's very eager to extend her grandmotherly relationship to her grandchildren's spouses, welcoming them into the fold in a very enthusiastic way. From teaching them about royal protocol to always being ready to share a laugh and a joke, here's why the Queen is a fantastic granny...
She puts her family at ease in her presence
The Queen and Meghan Markle visited Cheshire together for the former Suits actress's first ever official engagement without Harry, and the pair seemed very much at ease in each other's presence as the Monarch smiled and joked with Meghan, leading the new Duchess of Sussex to laugh with her new grandmother-in-law.
