Queen Elizabeth II’s style explained. What did her clothes really mean?
This True Royalty Original examines 100 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s style, exploring how her wardrobe reflected identity, tradition and craftsmanship. From the use of bold colours designed to ensure visibility in public settings to carefully selected outfits for official engagements, her clothing choices were consistently considered.
As a landmark exhibition opens at the King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, host Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by dress historian Amy de la Haye and former Press Secretary Ailsa Anderson to examine the context behind some of the Queen’s most recognisable looks.
The programme also explores the role of British designers, the construction and detail of her garments, and the practical elements that shaped her wardrobe over time.
