The Queen Leads the Parade at Ladies Day at Royal Ascot

Caption: Both the Queen and Princess Beatrice chose a striking pistachio colour for Ladies' Day

THE QUEEN was resplendent in an unusual pistachio colour as she enjoyed the most glamorous day in the racing calendar.

Thousands of female guests wearing spectacular dresses and eye-catching headgear descended on the Berkshire racecourse for Ladies' Day.

And pistachio was certainly the order of the day for the Royal women, with both the Queen and Princess Beatrice choosing to wear the colour.

The Queen's granddaughter had a splash of the colour on the brim of her orange topped two-tone hat to complement her white flared dress and orange heels.

The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of York joined the two women on Ladies' Day as they kept with tradition and arrived by horse-drawn carriage. Click link for full post from EXPRESS.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
