I think HM would look wonderful in the outfit designed for her. She does wear lighter blues so well.

I'll post it in the gaffe thread as well!
Tea drinking has long been a great British past time. Be it builder’s or Earl Grey, we’re all extremely partial to a nice cuppa. However if you baulk at shelling out more than 50p for a brew, then how about £25?
That’s the price per cup of The East India Company’s Jubilee Tea Blend. However, the exclusive creation boasts some extremely elevated connections. It has been harvested from a bush planted in Sri Lanka by Prince Philip as the royal couple embarked on their first world tour in 1954.

Oh, Phil, Phil. Even at nearly 91, you're still thinking of unzipping a young lady's dress. You are certainly healthy enough for sure!!
Oh man, Philip is such a dude. Honestly, you would never be bored around that man! After reading the article from today about the woman's dress, I continued to read his other infamous gaffes! That man is hilarious.
The Queen, Philip and Charles all looked great. Lovely to see them interacting, and I particularly loved the moment when they got off the barge and Philip shook hands with the man who drove (is that the right word?) it.
I am loving that the Queen's family are attending visits with her, and from another article it looks like Princess Alexandra attended the engagement later on the day.
Has Andrew or Edward done anything with them yet?

As my father used to say in his old age "there may be snow on the roof but there is still fire in the furnace", LOL.
That's funny, and I'm sure they have enough coal to stoke that furnace.
Oh, I have no doubt that there's plenty of...fuel for the furnace. The way he looks at his wife at times says it all. There's a sort of reverence there, and it's so touching to watch. He is not just in love with his wife, but he has tremendous respect for her as well.
The Queen today showed her taste for adventure as she tried out one of Liverpool's most popular tourist attractions - an amphibious boat that can travel on both land and water. Along with the Duke of Edinburgh, the monarch stepped gingerly on to the bright yellow duck boat, waving a shade uncertainly as it sailed off down the Mersey. If she felt out of place on board the unusual contraption, the Queen tried not to show it, smiling graciously from the window as if she were on board the QE2, rather than pootling along on what some commented looked suspiciously like a floating skip.
The Queen has come face-to-face with a rhinoceros as her Diamond Jubilee tour continued. The encounter came as the monarch was making her first visit to Chester Zoo in Cheshire. She was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh as part of their visit to the North West which began in Lancashire on Wednesday.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, arrive at Chester Zoo as part of the Queen's tour of the North West on May 17, 2012 in Chester, England. Her Majesty also got to ride the 'Yellow Duckmarine' boat in Salthouse Dock in Liverpool, north-west England, on May 17, 2012.

Throughout the Queen’s long reign there has only ever been one intimate account of her early life – written by her governess Marion Crawford in 1950 and now reissued to mark the Diamond Jubilee. In the first part of our serialisation, Crawfie, as the Queen called her, recalls her first meeting with her five-year-old charge, when her father — the future George VI — was still Duke of York...
