She was acutely aware of the power of fashion, and I think she was very respectful of the craft of fashion too. She knew that her appearance was a metaphor that could be used in many different ways. She really understood it as a tool of communication. Even though it’s been debated, for me, I think the strongest statement was when she had to read the Brexit speech in the House of Commons, for which she wore a blue hat with yellow flowers that absolutely resembled the European flag. Because from what I understand, she always embraced the EU. She lived through the war, and she knew why the EU was created—to tie nations together. So that to me was one of the most important looks of hers. You can’t really call it political because she did not have a political voice, but I’m sure she wanted to make a point, and she made it as strongly as she possibly could through what she wore.
