Queen Elizabeth has had a very busy few days! On Tuesday, June 15, the 95-year-old met with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the U.K.
"The Queen received The Prime Minister of Australia @ScottMorrisonMP at Windsor Castle today," The Royal Family captioned a few photos on Twitter. "Mr Morrison is in the UK for the #G7 in Cornwall. Australia was one of four ‘guest countries’ invited to the summit. As Head of State, Her Majesty regularly receives Commonwealth Heads of Government. Find out more about Audiences."
The Queen — who sported a bright yellow dress — was photographed chatting with Morrison in the Oak Room.
While chatting, Morrison told the Queen she was "quite the hit" at the summit over the weekend.
"Everyone was talking about you at dinner the next night," he said.
"Oh, Lord," she answered. "Were they really?"
"They were," Morrison added. "They were thrilled to see you."
Of course, people loved seeing the Queen smile after a tough year. One person wrote, "It is always a pleasure for the Queen her work and seeing her smile is also a pleasure for those who meet her!" while another added, "Incredible and incredibly busy, what a lady for 95."
