From the 11th century , fur was worn as a symbol of wealth and status. European monarchs used it as a status quo and a representation of their power during their reign. Queen Elisabeth II is the UK’s longest serving monarch and undoubtedly the most loved One. In her 70 years on the throne, her style and fashion choices have been impeccable and everything she wore had been carefully chosen in a unique and unforgettable way!
