Why the Queen ALWAYS wears the same colour at royal engagements

The Queen‘s fashion sense continues to delight royal fans, well into her 92nd year. Her Majesty’s choice of bright block colours has long been noted at royal occasions, including her canary yellow ensemble at William and Kate’s wedding, and her bright green outfit at Harry and Meghan’s. However, the Queen’s style is not just down to personal preference, reveals a royal expert.

In 2013 Netflix documentary “The Royals”, fashion editor Katherine Ormerod explains the reasons behind Her Majesty’s famously vibrant fashion choices.

“It marks her out immediately of her security team,” she says.

She adds: “It’s a question of safety.”

However, the Queen is also mindful of the public.

Block colours are a way for people to see her clearly when she is out and about in large crowds or attending televised ceremonies.

“It means she can be always be identified, not only by those looking after her but by everyone in the crowd,” explains Ormerod.

According to the Queen’s biographer Robert Hardman, she once said: “I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am.”

Sophie, Countess of Wessex also explains how the Queen thinks about her public appearances.

“She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the Queen,’” she says in the documentary “The Queen at 90”.

Ormerod also notes: “It has become her serious style signature. It has a multi-purpose value for her.”

Recently, the Queen has been spotted in a matching bright pink coat and hat on her 71st wedding anniversary.

She also wore a raspberry ensemble to meet King Harald of Norway in London last month.
