That's why I like it. You get the sense, like the later official photographs of Queen-Empress Victoria towards the end of her reign, that the Second Elizabethan age is coming to a close. At the same time though, it has that regal, powerful feel with the crown, fur, stark lipstick and strong posture. A nice contradiction - phyiscally the decline of age and her as a person, but arguably at the height of her imperial power and popularity. Decaying yet powerful - like a grand old building teetering. Love the contrast.
