Queen gives McQueen the royal seal of approval

Sarah Burton, quiet achiever of the House of McQueen; what a stunner of a dress. Make that plural sorry, dresses, even if they were curiously similar - you’d swear the latter was a refinement of the first. But when Westminster’s at stake, hell, why not?

As the newest addition to the Royal Family, Kate is the girl to follow. So, How to Look Like a Princess 101: one must always wear a good coat. Long slim boots are key. As is a body skimming, not hugging, dress. Keep accessories discreet and jewellery tasteful. That is, unless one is able to source a mother of a lump of sapphire - now that’s some bling worthy of attention. And lastly, be calm with those god-forsaken fascinators. Bloody Beatrice looked like she was head of Santa’s sleigh, and not because of a noteworthy nose.
