Queen Elizabeth’s style: The reason she colour blocks and who has influenced her dress sense over the years
May 13, 2022 - 16:49 BST Becky Donaldson Celebrating 70 years on the throne this year, the Queen is the longest- reigning British monarch in history. She's been served by a total of 14 prime ministers and seen 13 US presidents elected during her reign.
Setting more records, she became the first monarch to be crowned in a televised coronation ceremony, aged 27; and she even created her own dog breed the 'dorgi", when her own corgi mated with a dachshund belonging to Princess Margaret. For 70 years, not only has the Queen, who published her first Instagram post in 2019, been an iconic monarch - but the ultimate fashion influencer.
"Over her long reign, the Queen has evolved from a wasp-waisted young princess to an elegant elder stateswoman and her distinctive style has served her well," says Liz Wyse, etiquette adviser, Debrett's. As a young Queen, Her Majesty first looked to British couturier Norman Hartnell for her early wardrobe.
