😨Why

Why Queen Elizabeth Always Wore Gloves. It's not because they go with her outfits. Cornelia James glove makers have been in charge of the royal gloves since the founder made gloves for Queen Elizabeth II’s honeymoon in 1947. Genevieve James, creative director and daughter of the founder, says the Queen wore gloves for a few reasons. Not only would an outfit with a hat and handbag look utterly unfinished without gloves, but they protected her hands from dirt and damage when shaking hands all day. But that doesn’t mean she came home with a pair of grimy gloves. “I imagine she always had two or three pairs in her handbag to spare,” says James.
