Literature Review
How the identities of these royal women are produced through fashion, body and beauty.
The Royal Family Women's has set an pinnacle of grace and beauty. They have set the
epitome of classy and elegance while making to high time fashion and beauty standards. They
have been roped into the fashion icons which makes them outstanding in every event and
occasion. One who's fan of royal glamour can take footsteps of the Royal Women to be ahead in
the fashion game. Over the years there have been plenty of looks which have made history and
grabbed applause. The Diana's Slinky off shoulder revenge dress from 1994 have marked the
stone for the royal wedding dress which is wholly inspired from their collection. The blue
chiffon dress which Diana carried in the Cannes in 1987, the compelled white masterpiece which
Kate wore in the 2019 have been epitomized what an women should wear. For the Coronation in
1953 the Queen Elizabeth instructed the designer to make the regal gown which carried images
representative of the countries in U.K. and in commonwealth.

According to Alexia Dellner, (2020), the Queen of the United Kingdom is not allowed to
sit on any of a foreign throne. Even the throne is ordered from one of the seven kingdoms. The
queen is only allowed to sit on the throne which is belongs to the Royal Family only. The royal
queen is not allowed to give any kind of autographs and even they are not allowed to take or give
selfies. They are only supposing to click their photographs when other person is clicking it in a
normal way. The queen needs to accept all gifts which she is receiving very graciously even if it
is very lame to accept. Most interesting rule is that the royal family (including queen, king,
prince, princess, their kids and etc.) are not allowed to vote. It is the rule that they must be stay
far away from the politics. All the married queens or princess have to wear tiara upon their head.
It is a rule that in any ceremony the married women have to wear tiara only after that they must
attend their ceremonies. Curtsies is something which is highly encouraged among the Royal
women. They get fully trained about the way they need to communicate or talk before people.
They all are suppose to be very polite, must talk with smooth and low voice and needs to give
respect to all the people around them. The Royal family members do not eat garlic in their meals.
Garlic is something which is totally banned from their eating table (Andrew, 2019). The Royal
Queen always wears the bright shades. Only the married women and princesses wear the tiaras
and they also applies the bright nail paint. Apparently, the Queens prefer to go bare or wear a
subtle neutral nail polish shade. Even the national colors are being prioritized while on national
tours. That's why Duchess of Sussex wore a green maple leaf hat during their 2011 Canadian
tour. Even the symbolic outfit is being opted while addressing the large gatherings.

The Royal women also wears the tights which is very specific rule to wear it. The Royal
Family Women compulsorily wears the Black outfit on while on standby mode. This is the case
in which any unexpected death occurs that requires the black outfit to be wore. The Skirts the
Royal Queen and Women wear should be below the knee. The Royal women prefer the skirts or
dresses which has cut on the knee or below the Knee. The Royal traditions dictates that the
crowns and tiaras are just worn by the married women or royal brides. The reason behind
wearing the crowns and tiaras is to show that the women is reserved so that the gentlemen can
take step back while approaching to women. Wearing the crown is the status symbol and shows
that the women is being reserved. The Royal women keep their wardrobe full of vibrant colors.
The reason behind to wear the neon shades is that they are being more clearly visible by wearing
the bright shades. The royal girls compared wear the dresses. The Royal family is being highly
conscious of the fashion statement and dresses they wear. They are inspiration from which the
rest women look up to and take the inspiration to wear and carry forward the fashion parade
being set by Queens and Princesses.

The Young women never wear the pants and wear the dresses the tradition is being
accustomed that the pants and trousers are being worn by the young prince. To maintain the
royal tradition the small girls are also dolled up with dresses and gowns. The gloves are worn by
the Queens and Princesses as they need to shake the hands with other people. The gloves are
almost made up from cotton and nylon and the colors are also either black or white. The coats
are always on for the Royal Women. The etiquette puts the restrain on females members to
remove their blazers in public. While on touring, the family pays the tribute by incorporating the
national color or national emblem into their outfits.
The role of Queen in the British Government
According to S t e p h e n w o o d , (2020), The Queen stays the head of British express, the
most noteworthy agent of the United Kingdom on the public and worldwide stage. The top of the
British government, notwithstanding, is the Prime Minister. One fills in as an image of the
country and different fills in as the CEO of the public authority. In her job as head of state,
Queen Elizabeth II gives a customary discourse at the kickoff of each new Parliament and shows
up and addresses on siestas and unique events. The Queen stays in touch with the Prime Minister
and is routinely informed on exceedingly significant public issues, yet never freely says
something regarding political discussions—nor are any official conclusions up to her (Imo,
2017).
As the Royal Family has shed the greater part of its political forces, Queen Elizabeth, her
significant other and her youngsters have underscored their jobs in different altruistic
associations—the Queen is the nominal "supporter" of more than 600 foundations, albeit this job
comprises generally of causing to notice the causes. Her quality during a portion of the
extraordinary emergencies in late British history, including the COVID-19 pandemic, has drawn

recognition. As Britain's worldwide realm disintegrated in the wake of World War II, some of its
conventional settlements proclaimed freedom yet picked enter the Commonwealth of Nations, of
which the Queen stays the nonentity. Residents of Australia, Canada and numerous island
countries across the world view themselves as subjects of Queen Elizabeth, who broadly visited
13 of these "Province domains" in 1953. Elizabeth shows up on the money of a significant
number of these countries and her visits are normally a reason for festivity, yet her obligations
there, as in her nation of origin, are completely stylized (Longhurst, 2018). In a clear broad
political decision, the Queen would acknowledge the abdication of the active PM and afterward
train the approaching chief to frame an administration in her name - however this cycle is "put in
risk if there is vulnerability over the public authority being shaped".
In the event that no single ideological group wins a general lion's share in the House of
Commons, the Queen is left in a delicate position. She should be kept educated about any
exchanges to fabricate an alliance, yet can't practice any close to home attentiveness over the
decision of Downing Street's inhabitant. With no lion's share, the current PM is given the main
opportunity to make an administration, either by attempting to administer with a minority of MPs
or by shaping an alliance or "certainty and supply" course of action with another gathering or
gatherings. On the off chance that this falls flat, the biggest resistance is typically welcome to
attempt to do likewise. In 2010, as Gordon Brown endeavored to arrive at an arrangement with
the Liberal Democrats, the Queen "prominently eliminated herself to Windsor Castle to flag her
reluctance to have an influence in the development of another administration", composes Philip
Murphy, overseer of the London-based Institute of Commonwealth Studies, in an article on The
Conversation. When a PM is in office, the Queen meets with them week after week and offers
counsel (Maclaran and Otnes, 2020). She peruses the Queen's Speech to open Parliament, albeit
this is composed by the public authority, and in ordinary occasions her forces are normally
practiced on the guidance of the PM. Notwithstanding, as legal advisor David Allen Green wrote
in the Financial Times recently, "these are not ordinary occasions". Ahead of the pack up to the
31 October Brexit cutoff time, previous principal legal officer Dominic Grieve raised the
likelihood that the Queen could sack Boris Johnson on the off chance that he wouldn't conform
to Parliament's new enactment to evade a no-bargain exit from the EU. "This is currently
conceivable in sacred hypothesis and not incomprehensible in the odd legislative issues existing
apart from everything else”. Robert Hazell, teacher of government and constitution at University
College London, disclosed to The Guardian that the Queen could excuse a PM on the off chance
that the person in question lost a demonstration of majority disapproval and would not leave. "In
any case, she would possibly do as such if the House of Commons showed plainly who ought to
be selected as leader in his place," Hazell said. The Fixed-term Parliaments Act allows a 14-day
window after a demonstration of general disapproval to locate another PM fit for making sure
about the certainty of the Commons. Practically speaking, the Queen could request that another
political pioneer set up an elective organization that could win the certainty of parliament. "The
expulsion from office of the leader is understood”.
Dressing style of Royal Women in UK
According to lauren adhav, (2019), Purses are a typical extra during illustrious excursions
where a great deal of meeting and welcome happens. As indicated by regal master Myka Meier
of Beaumont Etiquette, you can generally spot Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton holding their

handbags in their left hands, basically so their correct hand is allowed to wave, shake hands, and
welcome people in general. Clearly, the queen leans towards skirts and dresses to pants, which
may be the explanation Her Majesty is scarcely ever shot in jeans and Kate and Meghan
generally wear dresses and skirts to imperial occasions. Princess Diana was likewise known for
wearing tuxedo suits to occasions, so while Her Majesty doesn't lean toward the style, it doesn't
appear to be totally restricted. As per Diana Mather from The English Manner behavior
consultancy, pants are just permitted at the most easygoing of occasions and appearances. In the
event that the duchess is outside strolling the canines, for instance, at that point pants are fine. In
the event that you're imperial—or wedding into the illustrious fam—at that point the queen will
give her endorsement of your wedding dress, as is convention. Obviously, Queen Elizabeth
needed to favor of Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen outfit in 2011, and she did likewise
with Meghan Markle's dress for her wedding to Prince Harry (Patel and et al., 2018). Each time
Queen Elizabeth or Kate Middleton ventures out in broad daylight, their nail tone is consistently
impartial. They either wear unpretentious pinks or clear clean when on true business, in light of
the fact that solitary regular looking nails are permitted at imperial occasions. To show this point,
kindly see the duchess' regular nails while she's taking a drink of brew. Headbands are worn
uniquely to the fanciest of imperial occasions, and commonly, they're worn unexpectedly by
ladies. Kate Middleton acquired Queen Elizabeth's Cartier Halo headband for her wedding to
Prince William in 2011, and she has even worn Princess Diana's headdress on a few events.
Wearing a headdress is an advantage held for wedded ladies as it were. It flags the delegated of
affection and the deficiency of honesty to marriage, Geoffrey Munn, creator of Tiaras - A
History of Splendor, said in a meeting with Forbes. The family headband was worn by the lady
of the hour, and from that second onwards, it was the husband to gems she was required to wear.
It was a subtle prompt that she had moved from her own family to another. the queen is never
without a satchel, and that is on the grounds that she utilizes it to impart signs to her staff. For
instance, when she needs to leave supper, basically setting her sack on top of the table tells her
assistants the gathering is finishing in no time and she's prepared to withdraw (Rawnsley, 2018).

I need you to choose images (the ones you have selected already are also fine) and need you to
analyse those images. For eg: if they are wearing a particular item what does that potray or
reflect. The way in which they dress, do their makeup and anything related to beauty and fashion
or body- how does it reflect their identity. Also, write and analyse how the identities of these
royal women are produced/consumed through fashion, body and beauty.
Additionally, when she's in discussion and changes her handbag to her other hand, it implies she
might want to respectfully wrap it up. It would be stressing in the event that you were conversing
with the queen and saw the satchel move from one hand to the next. Kate Middleton regularly
holds her packs before her with two hands when shaking hands may be off-kilter, Meier
disclosed to Good Housekeeping. This is the reason Meghan Markle's sacks, which normally
have a shoulder tie or top handle, appear to be strange with regards to convention. Be that as it
may, as indicated by Meier, the sort of pack worn relies upon the event. As we see Meghan
going to more conventional occasions, we are probably going to see her embellishing with more
grips. For fundamentally every proper event, the queen wears a cap that consummately
coordinates her splendid outfit. Obviously, this comes from an exceptionally old convention that
ladies should keep their hair covered. Up until the 1950s, women were extremely only
occasionally seen without a cap as it was not considered 'the thing' for women to show their hair
out in the open. The queen evidently demands that caps be worn to formal commitment, for
example, weddings and christenings, which could clarify the regal family's affection for
fascinators and stunning headwear. One of the bleaker principles is that an extra dark outfit is
constantly required on the off chance that an individual from the family passes on. Along these
lines, when they show up back in the UK, they are dressed suitably to fit the dismal event. Queen
Elizabeth shows up, all of which as a rule require heels or dressy shoes. Since she's continually
on her feet, having somebody to break from her point of view implies she skirts all the awkward
scouring and rankles that accompany wearing new shoes (Rose, 2019). While abroad, it's normal

practice for the illustrious family to honor the country they are visiting by wearing the public
tone or brandishing an important insignia. For instance, Kate wore this maple-leaf cap during a
visit to Ottawa on Canada Day. Royals wear military dress at state events and extraordinary
occasions, similar to Remembrance Day, Trooping the Color, or any help regarding the British
soldiers, and have since the nineteenth century (Toseland, 2018).
CONCLUSION
From the research performed above, it has been found that the women of royal family are
provided with training in which they teach about the royal curtsies, dressings, rituals, behavior,
social activities and much more. The Queen also have an immense role to play with respect to
the working of government despite of the fact that they are not allowed to vote as they need to be
away from politics.
