 | | The dress of white satin, adorned with crystal, diamond, opal amethyst beads, embroidered in gold and silver thread was created by the royal couturier Norman Hartnell in the autumn of 1952. |
 | | When 27-year-old Elizabeth saw the design, she said that she was going to rule not only England, but also Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. |
 | | That was a good reason, so Hartnell had to start his work all over again. |
