Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh visit the Floriade Flower Festival on October 20, 2011 in Canberra, Australia.
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are on a 10-day visit to Australia and will travel to Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne before heading to Perth for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.
Every two years, Commonwealth leaders meet at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to discuss global and Commonwealth issues, and to agree on collective policies and initiatives.
The Royal couple will undertake two “away days” one to Brisbane on Monday 24th October, and one to Melbourne on Wednesday 26th October.
Today Her Majesty stuck with her pastel tones opting for a lilac double-breasted coat by Karl Rehse for Karl Ludwig Couture, along with a matching hat by Philip Somerville with broad swirls and a three string pearl necklace that I am informed is to symbolise her third day in Australia, although Her Majesty is seen frequently wearing these pearls so believe as you wish. To enhance the ensemble Her Majesty is wearing her trademark gloves in white and a lovely brooch that has red, green and blue diamonds in a gold setting to show an arrangement of flowers, this is from the royal vault.
I would like to quote Paula Joye of The Age, Life and Style, a fashion and style columnist:
"Elizabeth II is often criticised for being far too conservative and stuck in a fashion rut from the 1950's but her detractors couldn't be more wrong. Instead she's been responsible for quietly and gently re-writing the rules of protocol dressing. Julia and Quentin were wearing 'Royal Chic' yesterday - an entire style genre created by Her Majesty."
