Framed!: HRH Queen Elizabeth II

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my last Framed! It’s time to move on to pastures new, but I’ve saved the best until last. When I first thought about writing this column two years ago, our monarch was top of my list of eyewear disasters.

I couldn’t wait to rip into the dog’s dinner of her spectacles. But I saved it, knowing that when the time came to wrap things up, I’d have a great case study to bow out with.

When you ask people about the Queen’s glasses – or if I have ever mentioned it in relation to this column – the comment seem to be ‘Oh yes, they are awful!’.
