The Queen's dressmaker bravely told her that her outfit didn't suit her.
The Queen's designer Angela Kelly recalled the moment in her book, "The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, The Dresser and the Wardrobe."
"I vividly remember one fitting where The Queen was draped in a very large piece of bold, jacquard material in a large print," Kelly wrote.
"Even a six-foot-tall model would have struggled to pull off something like that, and it absolutely drowned Her Majesty.
"Once again, I could not hide my disapproval when Her Majesty asked my thoughts. Without hesitation, I said, 'No way! It doesn't suit you at all and it is totally the wrong pattern.'
Kelly said that while an "awkward silence" and "icy atmosphere" descended on the room, the Queen eventually agreed after hearing that her husband had the same opinion.
"The Duke of Edinburgh happened to walk past and Her Majesty asked what he thought of the material, knowing that, like mine, his feedback is always honest. 'Is that the new material for the sofa?' he joked, before continuing on his way," she said.
