The Queen is to wear an African fancy dress outfit for Prince William's 21st birthday party, The Sun can reveal.
Wills has told his guests to come to the bash dressed like Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in the film Out of Africa.
Now the Queen has agreed to break with royal protocal and don a costume. And last night senior aides revealed she happy to join in.
One said: "the Queen has a great sense of humor and always enters into the spirits of things.She will challenge her dressers to find an appropriate outfit for the party."
Other Senior Royals, including Prince Charles, Duke of York and Earl of Wessex, will also wear fancy dress.
A source said: "William was quite insistent that everyone should dress appropriately, even his grandmother. All the royals will be dressed as required. They don't want out of place on Will's big night."
Parts of Windsors Castle will be transformed into African Bush scenes next month when Wills hosts the party of the year.
His 225 guests have been sent a gilt-edged invitation showing a charging elephant. The dress code states simply: "Out of Africa."
Guests can also come as Tarzan or other characters associated with Africa.
In our picture, above, our artists have come up with a look which the Queen might like.
Alternatively, she can could go for a cotton dress or tweed hunting jacket. She could then wear one of her many pairs of jodpurs, which were fashionable in colonial Africa in the 1920's.
Plenty of William's friends from school and University will mingle with Royals at the bash.
Wills wanted to avoid a formal party to prevent the occasion being spoiled by stuffy relatives.
It is thought he chose the Africa theme after enjoying a three-month visit there during his gap year.
The choice also revealed his fun-loving streak- as he knew other Royals would HAVE to dress up to attend.

my neice Kayla is going to marry her "cousin' William. Prince Of Wales. I have been grooming her for YEARS! LOL..........
He had the cutest baby face I remember! and looked very cute in his field gear. Alas, my husband was very jealous anyway so why take a chance. 
. Although someone once stated the problem with the Royal family is that there is a heir that doesn't want to be King [William] and his brother that is just dying be in charge of the ship... ). He's going to be scrutnized in whatever he does, his choice of wife, etc. Plus, there is this talk about him suceeding his father and having a father that's jealous of you and the attention you receive...well, that's never an easy thing to handle, is it?
