The Queen's best floral fashion moments

<p>The Queen's style-icon status has been cemented by <em>Vogue</em>, blending a timeless sensibility with an insatiable zest for colour! And it's with good reason that she goes bold. "She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the queen'," her daughter-in-law Sophie, Countess of Wessex, explained in a documentary. "Don't forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen's hat as she went past."</p> <p>When Her Majesty is in bloom, often on tour or for summer parties, her floral fabrics feature bursts of red, pink, green and blue. Each and every look is mapped out by her personal wardrobe adviser, Angela Kelly, and the duo has it down to an art.</p> <p>Click through our gallery to see some of the Queen's best floral fashion moments...</p>
