Queen Elizabeth’s Shocking Fashion Routine Unveiled: Monarch No Clothes In Her Room

Queen Elizabeth II reportedly has no clothes in her room.

The Queen’s former footman revealed a shocking fact about the monarch. According to Paul Burrell, who also served as Princess Diana’s butler, the Queen never sees her wardrobe with clothes and has no clothes kept in her rooms. Her chosen outfit is usually brought down to her daily.

“All of her clothes are kept on the top floor, all of her costumes, she calls them. And the dresser will bring down in the morning two outfits which are sketched with pieces of material clipped,” Burrell said on Yahoo’s Royal Box.

The Queen can reportedly remember whether the material is silk, cotton or not. The wardrobe will be put on the dressing table and Her Majesty will pick one and it will be brought downstairs.

Queen Elizabeth II is very particular in her wardrobe. She also has a smart trick to avoid blisters. According to Express, Her Majesty usually wears a long coat with matching-colored hat, gloves and bag. She often finished this with flat black buckle shoes. But to avoid blisters to ensure that Her Majesty will always have a comfortable walk, she lets a servant break in the shoes. The servant wears cotton ankle socks and walks on carpet to soften the leather.

“[The shoes] have to be immediately comfortable…she does get someone to wear them,” royal designer Stewart Parvin said.

“The Queen can never say, ‘I’m uncomfortable, I can’t walk anymore’.”

Aside from this, many notice that the Queen always wears colorful outfits. According to Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Her Majesty needed to stand out so that her fans will immediately notice her, thus the choice for bright-colored outfits. For the same reason, Queen Elizabeth II always wear a hat with the same color as her coat.

“She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the Queen,’” Sophie explained in the Smithsonian Channel documentary “The Queen at 90.” “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."
