Christmas Day arrives and more than one woman is going crazy thinking about what to wear to attend the traditional Christmas meal where she meets, at best, with the closest family … Can you imagine that instead of a little outfit did you have to prepare up to seven to use, minimum, five? Well now you know the annual dilemma facing the almost centennial Queen of England.

Many of us do not have the luck of the monarch: a fabulous lifelong stylist who accompanies him everywhere and ensures that Her Majesty does not lack anything. She even walks before with the new shoes of her famous boss to soften them a little and that the monarch does not hurt her feet while wearing them! We know everything thanks to the book she wrote herself, Angela Kelly, entitled The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, The Stylist and Her Wardrobe.

On Christmas Day he assures in his book that "there can be a lot of costume changes in a single day, between five and seven" and they start with breakfast. If there is no photo session in it, that change will also serve for your later meetings. For this occasion, he usually chooses a blouse that matches the skirt or a dress.

In the second model, "quality, comfort and layers are the queen's priority," says the royal stylist: pants, shirt, jersey and cardigan, thick socks and her classic Wellington boots are what the sovereign needs to face to the damp and cold December of Sandringham. "Before leaving Her Majesty the queen puts on gloves, a scarf and a waterproof hat." And ready to leave home!

Returning to his Norfolk residence, he changes again to put on a true-to-style model, similar to that of breakfast. In the afternoon, things get complicated by the number of commitments that the queen must attend to: “I prepare some ideas so that the queen can choose what she likes best. You may also need a cocktail dress sometime.”

The last change is that of dinner. "Since the queen chooses her dress, a note is hung for the maidens detailing the clothes that the queen is going to wear, so they can choose the appropriate dress for the lady that they have to wear." Why? Because no one can dress the same color as the queen, except her relatives!

The most important style is undoubtedly that of the traditional Christmas mass. "I like to make sure it's in a festive color so that people who want to congratulate Christmas find it easily."

This damage the Dukes of Sussex will be the great absentees to the Christmas mass … After a difficult year, they are spending a few days off in Canada. We hope that Elizabeth II's husband, who is still hospitalized, recovers in time to spend the most special day of the year with the family.
