    Didn't Diana wear longer hems?

    : There is an interesting article in Vanity Fair
    : saying that the Queen has requested the DofC
    : lower her hemlines for the upcoming visit in
    : April to Australia. But the more
    : interesting part of the article is that the
    : Queen has also encouraged the DofC to
    : "wear tiaras favored by HM and the
    : Queen Mother". There has also been a
    : request that the DofC wear "statement
    : jewelry and gemstones from the Queen's
    : personal collection."

    : Of course the validity of claims made in the
    : article can't be verified, but I'm hoping
    : that there is at least some truth to it. I
    : think I can safely say that we all hope the
    : Duchess takes crates of jewels to Australia,
    : and puts on a serious show of glitter and
    : swag!!

    : EDIT: I just found out the source of VF's
    : article is The Daily Mail....not often a
    : reliable place for information. So I guess
    : we can take all of this with a grain of
    : salt. But it doesn't stop me from hoping
    : that Kate wears a tiara the entire time
    : she's in Australia....24/7.
