The Queen In Portraits – Time

Time.com presents a photo essay in honor of Her Majesty’s 82nd birthday (they are calling her ‘Her Royal Highness’… faux pas!)

UPDATE: The Time.com words are linked to the photo slideshow, but I was told it wasn’t very easy to find the link that way. So, here is the full link (sorry guys!) to the images:

Also, I noted that they changed the title to read “A Gallery of Images Celebrating Her Majesty’s 82nd birthday”.
