Royals from around the world have paid tribute to the Queen upon her Platinum Jubilee. Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia said the Queen does not dye her hair because she isn't vain. He added that she wears nice clothes and jewels because this is her uniform.
Her hair colour is light-reflective
Embracing her grey roots, the Queen put an end to dying her hair two decades ago in 1990 and thus began embracing the silver locks we see today.
There was one colour the Queen rarely ever wore, and she once joked about the reason why - which is enough to make you laugh or cry, or both. Given her small stature, Elizabeth shunned from wearing beige as it stopped her from being spotted in a crowd.

Other sources close to the Queen told the documentary that the Monarch's taste was "mainstream", with "no airs and graces". Anson went on to confirm the Queen's top ten hits, including 'Sing' co-written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and performed by Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band featuring the Military Wives.
The Queen wears bright pastel colours because she fears nobody would recognise her if she wore beige, a royal writer has claimed. Robert Hardman, the Queen's biographer, said the 85 year-old monarch was “engagingly modest” despite being the most famous woman in the world.
"Go gingers," he added. It's a little-known fact that all three of Princess Diana's siblings — Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Charles, 9th Earl Spencer — have naturally red hair.
Wrong placement of the Queens is a common mistake. While arranging these pieces, make sure that the black Queen goes on a black square and the white Queen goes on a white square ("Queen on her own color"). The King then goes on the square next to the Queen. It is very important that you place these two pieces properly.
Queen Elizabeth II, who died Sept. 8 at 96, was in the public eye her entire life and wanted to make sure her subjects saw her — literally. That's partly why she long wore festive, bright colors for her public appearances, according to royal expert Daisy McAndrew.

The Queen died on 8th September, with her death certificate registering the cause of her passing as 'old age'. The Queen reportedly had a form of bone marrow cancer leading up to her death.
They slept in separate beds
As etiquette expert Lady Pam and Her Majesty's cousin explained in a biography about her relative: "In England, the upper class always have had separate bedrooms. You don't want to be bothered with snoring or someone flinging a leg around.
Queen Elizabeth II once told a celebrity photographer that she 'didn't like her hands'. British photographer Rankin, who took images of the Queen ahead of her Golden Jubilee in 2002, said that Her Majesty didn't want to hold a sword as it would mean her hands could be seen.
“The Queen's signature pose is the handclasp. This is a demure defence posture and it is designed to be unthreatening. But it is also a respectful gesture,” Collett said.
