If you’re familiar with the British monarchy, you’ll definitely have noticed Queen Elizabeth’s impeccable fashion sense. Regularly seen in an array of vivid colors, the Queen has truly mastered the art of harnessing a rainbow wardrobe — and for good reason. As journalist Robert Hardman wrote in his biography of the British monarch, the only colors she avoids wearing are neutrals. According to Hardman, the monarch once told him she was afraid she’ll blend into the crowd (via Good To Know). “I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am!” she once said.
The Duchess of Cambridge has undoubtedly followed in her grandmother-in-law’s footsteps. Aside from wearing beautiful florals, Middleton gravitates towards a similarly bright palette of colors — often coordinating with the Queen when they attend royal events together, per Insider. But unlike Her Majesty, who can often see wearing the brightest oranges you can imagine, Middleton tries to avoid wearing the color.
