The Queen was not convinced however she was persuaded to wear the item the wrong way around.
Speaking to Hello magazine, Angela said: “The Queen couldn’t believe that this would work. I told her that, if she did not believe me, she should consult the Duke of Edinburgh, as he always tells her the truth.
“At this point, I left the room feeling somewhat terrified, as you can imagine. Before long, Her Majesty called me back.
“She had consulted His Royal Highness and, after an amusing conversation, in which I imagine The Duke didn’t hold back, the Queen had decided to wear the hat the wrong way around, as I had suggested.”
Although the Queen was unsure, Angela explained she consulted with Prince Philip who approved the look.
The stylist has spoken out to share some of the tips and tricks she has shared with the Queen after 25 years of working with her.
