The monarch chose a bright lime green colour for Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May and proved the bookies right with her choice, as they had odds-on she would pick green.

The Queen wore a flared dress in lime, lemon, purple, and grey and printed silk along with an edge to edge coat, both designed by Stewart Parvin.

She accessorised it with The Richmond Diamond Brooch and added the addition of an Angela Kelly hat in the same lime green tweed with sinamay adorned across the crown with handmade lace crystals and pearls made by Lucy Price.

The Queen is said to enjoy wearing lively shades so members of the public can see her in the crowd.

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, explained in documentary The Queen at 90: “She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the queen.’

“Don’t forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen’s hat as she went past.”
