After reading an article in The Australian this Monday, it seems it will be a very relaxed portrait all about inner self and showing a more personal view of HM. Not sure how he will achieve this with a one hour sitting. I am not holding my breath for lots of jewels and formal decorations but we never know.

: The mentioning of robes interests me. As

: I do hope the Queen wore her Order of
