There were concerns around the world about the Queen's health after she was hospitalized.
Now she's back behind the wheel, bright and cheerful.
London - It is well known that the Queen is an avid car driver.
After all, at the end of the Second World War she joined the women's department (Auxiliary Territorial Service, ATS for short) of the army and received training as a truck driver and mechanic.
Queen Elizabeth II drives alone in a Jaguar at the age of 95
But even in old age she doesn't want to take her hands off the wheel.
Just two weeks after her brief stay in hospital, Elizabeth II was photographed on Monday behind the wheel of a car on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
In the photos published by the British media, the 95-year-old can be seen alone in a green jaguar.
She wears sunglasses and a headscarf.
According to Buckingham Palace, the British Queen went to a private hospital in London on October 20 for "precautionary examinations".
She spent a night there.
This and a two-week break announced at the end of October had raised concerns about her health around the world.

After the hospital stay: Queen takes a little step backwards
But shortly after her stay in hospital, the Queen had already attended official appointments again.
However, the palace then announced that, on the advice of her doctors, she would take a break for “at least two weeks” and only perform “light tasks” such as video switching.
The British Queen also canceled her participation in the World Climate Conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
Queen Elizabeth II is actually known for her robust health.
Even after the death of her husband Prince Philip in April, she hadn't stepped down.
Recently, however, the Queen was seen with a stick for the first time in years.
The 95-year-old is also said to have given up her beloved equestrian sport.
But obviously not driving a car.
