By royal decree, Queen Elizabeth II is a stickler for tradition when it comes to a dress code. So we could only exclaim ‘Hallelujah’ when we saw a picture of the British royal family in ugly Christmas sweaters. Standing in the middle is the Queen wearing a moss green sweater knitted with a picture of her favourite Corgi. Feast your eyes.
Alarmed? Don’t be, the picture is of a display at Madame Tussauds London revealing a festive version of wax figures featuring the Royals, with approval from her highness, of course. And yes, Prince Harry has a penguin on his sweater. Now that we have the approval of the royal family on the style, we have the perfect excuse to indulge in some merrymaking.
