The Queen has an ‘outstanding memory’ and can recall the significance of every piece of jewellery, fashion expert claims
THE Queen has an impressive memory and can remember who gave her every piece of jewellery she owns, a fashion expert has claimed.
The 93-year-old has a vast wardrobe and jewellery collection to match, filled with tailored outfits and tiaras.
Sali Hughes, author of Our Rainbow Queen, claimed the monarch has an excellent memory when it comes to her clothes and accessories – and can recall who gave her what during her 65-year reign.
She told Vanity Fair: “She does not forget who gave her something, and she doesn’t forget the meaning it has when she was given her gifts and her jewellery.”
The monarch is known for wearing bright colours so she can be seen easily in a crowd, and Sali claimed her outfits are always meticulously planned.
Sali added: “There are no mistakes; there are no accidents.
“Everything is forensically thought of, considered, and documented, and her memory is outstanding.”
She added that the Queen’s fashion sense hasn’t varied too much over the years, and she never dabbled in ‘high fashion’.
But Sali revealed this was because she “couldn’t afford to just wear disposable trends”, and needed to make sure her outfits were timeless.
The Queen, and other members of the royal family, use their clothes to send subtle messages.
During royal tours they’ll wear – or avoid – certain colours, and make sure their outfits don’t form any political statements.
The monarch did set tongues wagging when she wore a blue outfit, complete with a matching blue hat with yellow flowers, during the Queen’s speech in 2017, prompting some to think she was copying the EU flag.
