Whatever your personal or political views are about Queen Elizabeth II's visit to our fair Isle, one cannot deny her style!
The Queen arrived dressed in a green (rather appropriately I might add) and turquoise dress with a green dress coat and hat for her first historic visit to the Republic of Ireland.
She later changed into a cream dress and coat with floral detail in a moss green (I see a theme emerging) and accessorised with her usual black gloves, shoes and handbag. Her hat finished off the look nicely.
One cannot help but wonder whether the colours chosen for the Queen's visit were deliberate insofar as green is associated with Ireland and cream is symbolic of peace but whatever her reasons were behind her outfits, one cannot but salute her Majesty's royal style!
