Two fashionable generations were on display as Queen Elizabeth II and Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out side by side to mark the start of the Diamond Jubilee tour. While Catherine chose an elegant waisted teal peplum suit with a Jude jacket and Davina dress by LK Bennett with a matching pillbox hat by James Lock, the Queen opted for a bright pink cerise cashmere dress and coat with black trim by Angela Kelly, and a matching hat. And it seems the Queen’s bright-coloured number was not chosen by accident. Royal writer Robert Hardman claims that the Queen often wears bright colours so that she is recognised.
“My favourite remark she ever said was ‘I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am’,” he told the UK’s Daily Telegraph.
