It's good to step back in time.

I remember seeing those pictures in the papers in the 1950s (except the Princess Royal).The papers seemed to love picturing the Queen on a wet day dressed in a cape. She still wears her lovely hats despite the downpours. In the top picture her choice of a cape is obvious. It is easy to fit over her finery as well as to don quickly. In the Aintree picture perhaps the rain has stopped as her cape is undone. She looks good everytime.
