Back in the 1960s, the monarch re-wore her custom-made gowns at high-profile events, including the Norman Hartnell dress that Princess Beatrice borrowed for her wedding day in 2020. The Queen's personal dresser, Angela Kelly, previously explained how the royal's repeat-wears were always carefully considered.
"Anybody who is in the queen's position, in the world, you are asitting target," Fox said. The queen is one of the richest women in the world, butshe wears her favorite hats 20 or 30 times, according to principal milliner Philip Somerville. He says there a few she chose not to wear more than once.
Naturally, many of these princesses, from Kate Middleton to Princess Sofia, and even Queen Maxima and Princess Charlene, turn to the same designers again and again, and every so often, they wear the exact same looks. Here are 29 different times royal ladies were caught in the same outfits.
Sometimes, the Queen of Britain, Her Royal Majesty Elizabeth II, needs to change clothes up to five times a day – in the case of big celebrations, for example.
The only time the Queen was photographed in pants was during the Royal Tour of Canada in 1970, when a young tailor crafted her a matte-silk trouser suit in an effort to update her look. Apparently it never stuck, and the moment has become the only time the royal wore trousers in public. No, we're not kidding.
The Queen has to be on top form to be in charge of the Royal Family every day, and apparently, the monarch has a very strict morning routine, which involves tuning into her favourite radio station, enjoying a cup of tea and a long soak in the bath before getting dressed.
And as to putting one's clothes on, contrary to popular belief the Queen actually dressed alone. The monarch also did her own make-up for most events, with the exception of her annual Christmas speech, for which a make-up artist was employed.
Although it's unlikely the Queen binge watches Netflix while ordering Uber Eats to Buckingham Palace, it turns out Her Majesty does like to get her hands dirty at home - and even does her own washing up.
Queen Elizabeth II's Evolution From Princess to the Longest-Reigning British Monarch. According to the monarch's long-time dresser, the queen does her own makeup every single day except for one special event: the yearly Christmas speech.
No washing machines
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla's clothes are not allowed to be cleaned in washing machines—everything is hand washed.
Speaking to Fabulous, Myka said: “Underwear and bras are also considered private intimate wear, and for royals to put intimate apparel on display would simply not be done. “There are a few options to hide bra straps, with one option being a bra that is actually sewn into the piece.
As etiquette expert William Hanson explained to Harper's Bazaar, "open-toed shoes are considered informal footwear and inappropriate for formal occasions". While you could argue that a beach clean is hardly a formal occasion, a royal tour is about as formal as you can get.
According to The Sun, the British Royal family are under a strict protocol that dictates only two royal mothers can wear orange. However, the other more common reason is it doesn't photograph well, and for royals with pale complexion, it can wash them out. Luckily, that's a problem a healthy dose of bronzer can fix.
Apparently, she heads to bed at 10.30pm each evening in order to get a good night's sleep. The bling is stunning, obviously. Regular exercise is also said to help with sleep and Kate leads an active lifestyle, often talking about how she loves to get outdoors – it's thought that she runs or walks every day.
Enter Angela Kelly ‒ the queen's most loyal aide for the past three decades. She's also known as her hairdresser, dresser and “best friend”, as claimed by various media. But what do we know about the 64 year old so far?
Queen Elizabeth never wears the same outfit twice at important events. Therefore, the sovereign prefers to either change her outfits and if she gets bored of them, she sends them to her dressers, who are then allowed to either wear them themselves or sell them.
Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth wore Guerlain L'Heure Bleue, a spicy citrus with a powdery dry down. It's been a classic for the fragrance house ever since the scent was created in 1912.
The Queen has a bath every morning, drawn by her maid while she sips a cup of tea. It's believed that the royals prefer to avoid taking showers, due to their belief that they're for members of the working class.
The Duchess of Cambridge has bouncy, shiny waves that you can only find in those star-studded L'Oréal, Pantene and Garnier commercials. Except Kate doesn't use any of those brands to get such healthy strands. She uses Kérastase's Bain Oleo-Relax Shampoo to nourish and smooth her beautiful locks.
At her former primary residence, Buckingham Palace, and at her current home, Windsor Castle, the Queen has a staff on hand to take care of most of the chores we non-royals dread: The laundry. Vacuuming. Washing the dishes after a meal.
But, as it turns out, Her Majesty isn't quite as afraid of getting her hands dirty as we've all been lead to believe. In fact, she even does her own dishes, according to one royal source.
Royal residences reportedly keep Yardley soaps on-hand, and per Marie Claire, private guests to Windsor Castle are given Yardley products, too.
Ladies-in-waiting performed intimate duties such as putting on and removing the queen's clothing and bathing her. They were expected to put her needs above those of their own husbands and children. They spent most of the day with the queen and provided her with companionship and entertainment in her private chambers.
The late Queen made her own money, paid as part of the Sovereign Grant, and totals millions of dollars per year. Because of this, she was free to buy her own clothes, but no doubt has a self-set clothing allowance as well.
They stay safeguarded at the Tower of London in safekeeping for the nation, and when one monarch dies, the crown jewels are immediately passed to their heir.” So the Queen's former crown, sceptre and orb now belong to her son, King Charles III.
