Is this the most astonishing photoshoot of the Queen ever? Yes, it really IS Her Majesty as Queen of Scots amid the heather (moments before a midge invasion) Posing as the Queen of Scots Her Majesty is photographed within the bucolic and stunning background of her treasured Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire.
