I don't know about Queen Elizabeth wearing her watch at gala events, but I have read on other Boards, that Her Majesty doesn't like the physical appearance of her hands so prefers to wear gloves at all times. I can't confirm if this info is true. --Previous Message-- : I believe it is against etiquette that ladies : wear horloges during gala events. That is : why there are horloges disguised as : bracelets (with a diamond encrusted cover : hiding the actual hour). : : Interesting that the Queen ignores this : 'rule'. She also does handshakes with gloved : hands, while her old mother always removed : her glove (as etiquette says) to offer a : bare hand. :
