What a bright, sunny yellow HM is wearing! It really is getting to be springtime.
 
Yeah when the queen wears yellow, springtime is on the way.
Looking beautiful for her age :D

I posted something similar over at my hat blog recently -- The Queen is like the American groundhog who signals the timing of spring, only she does it with her clothes! :lol:
 
I love her choice of array. Yellow does suit the time we're in. She looks absolutely heavenly. And you can tell she is beaming with joy at the reception. She is quite the lovely lady. It's nice to see her ever so.
 
I really hope to see her on a short distance, perhaps a short chat, in the Royal Enclosure of Ascot in June on Opening Day.
 
I do lovethe yellow colout on HM. Very inspiring!

Apparently so does the Queen! It is one of her favourites and according to my Brooches database, I have 12 dated wearings for that dress (some outdoors with the matching coat, others, as yesterday, just the dress)
:flowers:

:flowers: And this from The Telegraph -
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace denied that the Duke had been rude to the music and television promoter, who has amassed an estimated fortune of £112m through shows like American Idol, The X Factor, and Britain's Got Talent.
"The Duke of Edinburgh categorically did not call Mr Cowell a sponger. He has no reason to. He has said he does no know enough about Mr Cowell to make any sort of comment about him," he said

As the Palace spokesman said, that Mr.Cowell may have misheard the Duke, and the Duke has really soft voice. Looking at some video documentaries about the Duke, i think this is true. Moreover, i think Mr. Cowell's speaking is just all over, and not even properly, and confident. I think his quote is just not confident enough in what saying. And another person in the talkshow, claims that the Queen ignore and did not even know who Mr.Cowell was. She shook hands and smiled with him. What else would he expect? And moreover, the Queen has many duties to perform, how can she have time to look and know about each single artist on the earth. I think these people just did not have much things to do around, and bring up nonsense things over, they should have just left Her Majesty and His Royal Highness alone. The couple had done their bests over the year, and who know how many years would they have left, to be commented all over the times about these issues.
