Queen Camilla and the wife of the U.S. President Melania Trump appeared during the state banquet at Windsor Castle, choosing outfits in colors that sparked considerable discussion. Camilla donned a blue dress, while the First Lady opted for a yellow outfit. The combination of these shades did not go unnoticed – these colors are traditionally considered royal colors in Britain. At the same time, some viewed this choice as a symbolic gesture of support for Ukraine. This was reported by 'Glavkom'.
According to House Beautiful, the royal standard flag includes red, blue, and yellow colors, which are widely used in the abbey. Additionally, Queen Elizabeth adopted a personal flag in 1960 that consists exclusively of yellow (or gold) and blue colors.
State Visit and Melania Trump's Image
Melania Trump has chosen yellow clothing for state visits to the UK before: specifically, in December 2019, she wore a dress of this shade for the official reception at Buckingham Palace on the occasion of NATO's 70th anniversary, organized by Queen Elizabeth II.
It is worth noting that Melania Trump planned her outfits for the state visit for months, especially for the banquet. At events where the main figures will be seen but not heard, the message they send through their choice of wardrobe is important, and these details are often communicated in advance through diplomatic channels.
