The Queen wore a red wool coat with braiding details around the collar and on the pockets. Her smart hat matched exactly, with braiding around the brim.
Robert Hardman, the Queen’s biographer, quoted the Queen as saying: “I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am.”
Kate added the Queen’s earrings to her look, wearing a mysterious pair of gems.
The jewels featured a diamond flower stud, a hanging frame and then seperate stones hanging within them.
The Queen wore them for the 2012 State Opening of Parliament, although it is not known where they come from.
