Members of the Royal family are expected to follow strict royal protocol when it comes to their clothing.
Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered by her family, friends and the country during her state funeral on 19 September, with thousands lining the streets to pay their respects.
Of course members of the family, extended family and politicians will be wearing black, but there will be other key details incorporated into the outfits. The veil has been accepted as the “correct etiquette” and allows for privacy while grieving as it allows the face to become slightly hidden. “When her beloved husband died in 1861 she abandoned the colourful clothes of her married life and, with the rest of the royal court, adopted black clothing as an outward sign of grief. Her subjects duly followed suit, causing a rush on suppliers of mourning fabric up and down the country.”
