The shade worn by the royals, however, isn’t the traditional burgundy, but its newer relative, “viva magenta”. Pantone, the colour bible for designers, has named viva magenta as its forthcoming Colour of the Year, describing it as “audacious, full of wit, and inclusive of all” – and it apparently “ vibrates with vim and vigour”. If there’s a message the royals are desperate to convey in the wake of Meghan and Harry’s claims of ostracism – and the recent racist remarks of Lady Susan Hussey – it’s “inclusive of all”. The “vim and vigour”, meanwhile, might speak to The Firm’s attempts to modernise and emphasise the younger generations – though, in truth, it was the late Queen who dressed most vibrantly, under the guidance of her long-time dresser, Angela Kelly.
