The Queen's Diamond Jubilee partying ended yesterday along with it's requisite parade of ridiculously regal outfits and all those stunning McQueen creations (worn by Kate Middleton, ofcourse). I would be remiss if I didn't offer a humble homage to The Queen herself, who I really do like, being a humble colonial subject myself. Below, a pick of my favourites (sartorial choices) over the years from a woman who really does understand style and poise in a way that you and I never will.
