In the documentary, The Queen at 90, the Queen’s daughter-in-law, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, said: “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.”
For her first solo outing with new daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, the monarch kept with tradition in a boldly-hued ensemble. She wore a lime green suit dress by Stewart Parvin and a matching hat by Rachel Trevor Morgan.
