This provoked me to find the original source published in the Journal of English Studies this week, which appears to be freely available [0].
I haven't read the journal article yet, much like the journalists. It's not clear from the abstract whether the page in question was written by a professional or by the queen. The abstract does mention other stylistic arguments for the queen being the translator.

- NeedMoreTea 7y agoNice, thanks for finding that. Had a lengthy skim of that over lunch, really clear with lots of nice pictorial example snippets to compare, and lots of other circumstantial pointers. Seems she completely lost her careful italic style that she'd had as a youngster, and often used a secretary to rewrite letters and documents in a better hand. Page in question seems to have been written by her secretary, and amended.
