Queen Elizabeth II caricature

I made this caricature a long time ago, in 1992, for the Flemish children's newspaper 'Kits'.
I made a lot of caricatures for 'Kits' and 'Klap', both published by 'Uitgeverij De Eenhoorn', 141 assignments over the course of 17 years...
This drawing of the Queen was my 20th assignment.
Now, 30 years later, after 70 years of reign, the Queen hardly seems to have aged!

The idea of the assignment was: the Queen of the United Kingdom is very rich.
 But she is also apparently frugal and socially sensitive. What would she do to fill her days?...
