always wear black shoes and carry a black handbag? She has such lovely clothes in beautiful colours but when you look down there are these same black shoes spoiling the line. I realise she problems has many such pairs and its not the same ones all the time and that they are handmade by elves and kissed by the fairies but I would love to see her with some summer colours to co-ordinate her outfit- I don't mean matchy-matchy but something lighter. I expect its just me that's bothered isn't it?

The Queen isn't HRH she is Her Majesty the Queen, Gemmag.

And I for one certainly don't look gorgeous all the time if ever ! grin

I have to admit she's usually well turned out. Occasionally I think, 'Oh no dear, your dresser let you down today,' but usually she looks smart and comfortable. She's found a style that suits her and she sticks to it.

Thank you Ana but actually I do know how the Queen should be addressed.

Are you sure? You didn't give that impression in your earlier posts. smile

I heard on the news that the Queen has decided not to have any more corgis because she doesn't want to leave any behind without her.

Funny that most of us with dogs are already thinking along those lines and we're twenty years younger (give or take)

Corgis are a vanishing breed. Their popularity may well die out with the Queen sad

Oh! She must be really close to those little dogs. I would think she is a very loving person. George seemed so pleased to see her when she arrived for the Christening.

I have it on good authority that the Queen chastises her dogs when they are unruly by occasionally whacking them gently with her handbag. (She was observed doing this many years ago at a garden party.) smile
