Being the Queen of the United Kingdom, based in a city like London, Queen Elizabeth quite naturally has to deal with rain. A lot of rain. Therefore it’s not unusual to see her out and about on official duties, braving the drizzle under an umbrella with her gracious nature and a smile.
But have you ever noticed that her umbrella and outfits almost always match? Since 1993, the Queen has used her preferred style of umbrella, the classic birdcage design made by Fulton. Naturally, being who she is, Queen Elizabeth gets hers custom made in a variety of shades, so they blend in perfectly with her vast array of outfits and hats.
It’s the piece of fashion inspiration we never knew we needed, especially with winter approaching! Scroll down below to check out old Queenie’s rockin’ rain style for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

How did people not know that? She has the most curated wardrobe in the world and when she goes out, everything is perfect.
did you know the Queen has weights sewn into the bottom of her outfits so a stray gust of wind wont embarass her (Kate took note). They also dont press right to the hems in order that outfits and hemlines can be altered when needed
I did know this, oddly enough. And working for a couturier, I often stitched curtain weights or light chains into hems. I expect that shows my age. Not many people know what a curtain weight is any more.
Margaret thatcher did the same thing with skirt hems
which Couturier? - just curious - I can just about sew buttons on - lol
Agreed! According to the Fulton website, the company received a royal warrant from the Queen Mother back in 1993 and have been customizing QEII's umbrellas from the start. For anglophiles in the US this is not breaking news.
Out of interest, what is the UK equivalent of an anglophile? I've sometimes called myself a yankophile, but I'm not sure if there's a proper term
"Yankophile" works for me! :). I don't think there is an agreed upon phrase for someone who follows US culture
uk equivalent of an anglophile?? contradiction in terms
I would love to see her wardrobe, I bet it's an explosion of colours!
It’s not as fancy as The Late Princess Diana’s, but her hair “accessory” always sets off any outfit!! 👑
There is a whole host of books about the Queen's wardrobe. Very fascinating to read!
Now that's some royal dedication right there!
