From Hello Magazine:

Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, took some unusual steps during their latest official visit to a west London Sikh temple.

After receiving a pink and white floral garland upon her arrival at the Gurdware Sri Singh Sabha Temple in Houslow, the Queen donned a cream-coloured headscarf and removed her shoes to enter the place of worship, in line with cultural tradition.

Still wearing black gloves and carrying a matching handbag, the monarch, clad in socks and a white tweed dress, continued her visit by meeting war veterans and viewing an exhibition to mark the 400th anniversary of Sikh scriptures.

The monarch's husband, Prince Philip, who had also been presented with a white floral garland on arrival, likewised conformed to tradition by wearing a blue scarf on his head during the tour.

Okay, was I the only one who looked at the Duke of Edinburgh in the blue bandanna and thought: That's what Prince Harry's going to look like when he gets that old?

That was actually my initial thought. Something about the smile, and the angle on his head in the photo.
