To celebrate Her Majesty's Official Birthday I'll let you in on the secret of the Queen's umbrella style.
Have you ever wondered about the Queen's umbrellas, and how they always seem to match her outfits?
Well the secret is that the Queen commissions her umbrellas from, Royal warranted umbrella maker, Fulton. The East End umbrella maker, founded in 1956 by engineer Arnold Fulton, has long been the Queen's choice for brollies.
The royal dress designers come up with the outfit, and then they confer with Fulton who trim the umbrellas with the appropriate colours so that they match her outfits exactly.
Her Majesty likes to use the transparent Birdcage umbrella so that her public can still see her from all angles.
The next generation seem to be following the Queen's lead and opting for the Fulton Birdcage umbrellas too.
The Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted with a totally clear Birdcage, and ordered a black-trimmed Birdcage to match her Temperley dress at the London War Horse premiere last year, at which William gallantly held it over his wife's head.
Nigel Fulton said of his royal commissions "We are immensely proud of our Royal connections and hope to build upon our relationship for generations to come."
