Although the monarch didn’t have a celebration, several tributes poured in from all over the world celebrating her legacy. However, one photo shared by a royal photographer to commemorate the day has stood out.

THE QUEEN’S JEWELRY COLLECTION

According to reports, the Queen has an extensive jewelry collection made of some of the world’s most precious stones. Some were inherited as a family heirloom, while others were gifted to her.

Of the vast collection, the monarch’s favorite jewelry piece is reportedly the diamond-encrusted Fringe Tiara she wore during her November 1947 wedding to Prince Philip.

While Her Majesty has an array of jewelry to wear, she often opts for a simple three-strand pearl necklace that she wears for day-to-day royal events. She, however, never fails to switch it up with several elegant brooches.

A FASHION ICON

With almost seven decades of reign, Queen Elizabeth has cemented her status as a fashion icon. The monarch is known for her love of bright-tone top and bottom co-ords paired with fancy hats and her trademark Launer London black handbag.

In the early years of her reign, the Queen experimented with dinner gowns, pencil skirts, and summer dresses. Per reports, the mother-of-four is responsible for the trend of wearing Gucci loafers.

Since she was a kid, the Queen became accustomed to portraits as the daughter of a sovereign, King George IV. Many of the child pictures of the monarch have been compared to recent images of her great-granddaughter, Princess Charlotte.
