A royal style expert has described the Queen as the "ultimate fashion diplomat", who "sent a message" via her choice of clothing, jewellery or accessory. Miranda Holder, 46, said the Queen started "the whole movement of diplomatic dressing" - showing respect to the people around her by wearing national colours, emblems or symbols.
She described how the monarch often used her clothing, jewellery or accessories to "send a message". She famously wore a brooch gifted to her by Barack Obama when meeting Donald Trump, which Miranda believes signifies she didn't think very highly of the new President.
Miranda describes how the Queen would "take pleasure in wearing colour, symbols and styles of local wardrobes whenever she was on tour" and how she "wore bright colours to be easily seen in a crowd".
