Queen Elizabeth II Thrifty in Private Life and public Wardrobe
The queen buys new outfits for important engagements abroad while private clothes remain in a separate Buckingham Palace wardrobe. She favors a box-pleated knee-length skirt and fitted jacket, with private life clothes undisturbed by fashion excess. Couture designers Hartnell and Amies prepare a large order for a March to May tour of New Zealand and Australia. The queen, 43, faces periodic criticism for dressing too traditional as she adheres to rules, wears gloves, and chooses comfort over fashion. State gowns are destroyed. other clothes go to charity with labels removed to prevent recognition.
