A new royal protocol was established after the death of the Queen’s father King George VI
Sunday 6 February 2022 marks a special and sad day for The Queen. Not only is it 70 years since the passing of her father, King George VI's death in 1952, but of course it is also the day she stepped up into her role as Queen.
Upon hearing the news of the tragic event, Elizabeth and Philip had to cancel the remainder of their trip in order to return to the UK and enter a state of mourning.Upon Elizabeth's return to the UK, her team had failed to pack a mourning outfit, which resulted in having to send a member of staff to retrieve a suitable look.
Following her experience of not having had a mourning outfit in her luggage, she made it a cardinal rule that every member of the Royal Family going on a trip should pack a black outfit so that they were always prepared. "This level of preparation has been passed down through his daughter, who has adopted this trait along with other senior members of the Royal Family."
