Elizabeth for tea with Joe Biden it was brighter than the sun beating down on Windsor yesterday afternoon. In the face of those who wanted her condemned to a perennial sadness afterwards the disappearance of Prince Philip, the British sovereign gave up mourning rather quickly by favoring floral prints in the releases of recent weeks.
The most cheerful and effervescent dress, however, is the one he wore to meet the president of the United States accompanied by his wife Jill Biden, the thirteenth of his life and the fourth in the castle on the outskirts of London.

«Pretty in pink»The tabloids hastened to write describing the botanical-themed dress signed by the designer Stewart Parvin accompanied by a hat tone on tone of Rachel Trevor-Morgan, the usual borsa Launer and the white gloves of Cornelia James. The brooch was added to enrich the outfit Jardine Star, Queen Mary’s “button” earrings and the triple row of pearls.

According to what real jewelry experts say, this one it is the third time that Elizabeth has pinned this star-shaped pin to meet with presidents of the United States: Biden comes after Bill Clinton in 1993 and George W. Bush in 2003.

The atmosphere at the castle with the Obamas is much more relaxed.

The sovereign had a much more sentimental relationship with the aquamarine brooches: they were a gift from her parents for 18 years. The dress the Queen wore on her visit to Windsor was also pink and floral George W. Bush and his wife Laura. It was the First Lady this time who showed up in a bright and bright blue suit.
