Queen Elizabeth II Wears These Same Colors During Engagements For This Reason

Queen Elizabeth II has been wearing the same colors during her official engagements due to a poignant reason.

In the Netflix documentary “The Royals,” fashion editor Katherine Ormerod said that there is a reason why Her Majesty goes for bright and bold hues.

“It marks her out immediately of her security team. It’s a question of safety,” she said (via Express).

Block colors are also a way for royal fans to see the Queen in public when she’s attending events with massive groups of people.

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

Two months ago, Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s interview when the Queen turned 90 years old resurfaced. At that time, the mom of two also talked about Her Majesty’s choice of bright colors.

“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,” she said (via Express).

Ormerod said that the Queen wearing bright colors has become a serious style signature for her. After all, it has a multipurpose value for her.

In related news, the Queen also made headlines this week after her close friendship with former President George H.W. Bush was revealed. Following Bush’s death, the Queen released a statement expressing her great sadness over the news.

“President Bush was a great ally of the United Kingdom. He was also a patriot, serving his country with honor and distinction in office and during the Second World War. Prince Philip and I remember our days in Texas in 1991 with great fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with President Bush’s family and the American people,” she said (via Fox News).

Robert Hardman, a royal author, said that the Queen and Bush became good friends following a comical incident that happened years ago. During a 1991 state visit, the Queen became invisible while giving a speech because Bush forgot to press a pedal and raise the dais for her.
