It seems even the Queen is tightening her purse strings after attending a church service wearing the dress she wore to her grandson’s wedding.
Her majesty fished out the primrose yellow single crepe wool dress and hat for the second time in six months, having last worn it on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s big day in April.
This time, the monarch left the outfit’s matching coat behind when she travelled with the Duke of Edinburgh, 90, to Canberra’s oldest church for a traditional service, as temperatures almost hit 30C (86F) during the royal couple’s tour of Australia.
While she may be getting the most out of her wardrobe, the Queen, 85, put an undisclosed amount of money into the collection tray.
The service, at St John the Baptist church, was attended by a 100-strong congregation, which included former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd. The Rev Paul Black described it as a ‘great joy and delight’.
