Twenty years later, the story of a dress that almost spoiled a famous meeting between Queen Elizabeth and the Pope was revealed
Britain's Queen Elizabeth almost caused a crisis with the Pope over her dress.
According to the Mirror, the meeting in 2000 would have ended with a major crisis if it were not for Angela Kelly, the queen's current fashion maker, who grew up in Catholic Christian teachings, so she knew the manners to follow when meeting the Pope.
In her new book, The Other Side of the Coin, Angela says the Queen's advisers wanted to wear a light dress on that occasion, but she knew "immediately, that would be a mistake." , But they refused to listen to her.

Kelly went directly to the queen, who "listened as usual, but decided to continue following her advisers' decision."
Kelly explained that she saved the situation, finding one of the old Queen's costumes, and asked one of the team members directly, instead of following the formal royal procedures, to make a copy in navy blue, with a hat with a detachable veil.
When the day of the visit came, Angela revealed that one of the Queen's aides called her terrified, and asked her if they had a black dress for the queen.As I expected, the Vatican contacted them that morning and said that the Queen's clothes should be dark;
She then summoned Queen Angela, during which she unveiled her secret plan. She took out the blue dress, which impressed the queen, but said it was better to be in black.
"I remember clearly the features of relief that appeared on the Queen's face," Angela said.
