It's no wonder the Queen stepped out in one of her favorite designers, as she had such a busy day greeting royal fans at the Scottish borders town of Selkirk. The visit saw the Queen meeting with local shopkeepers and craftspeople. 

As well as this, she viewed the official Great Tapestry of Scotland and even added the final stitches on a new panel - leaving her own mark on history.

While meeting fans, one mini royal fan got to grips, literally, with HRH - and seemed to have no intention of letting go!

Many royal watchers were keen to mention how wonderful and happy the King and Queen looked on their outing - as well as how comfortable the Queen Consort made those who met her. 

"Love how Queen Camilla can put anyone at ease," tweeted one royal fan. "Camilla looked amazing," added another.

It's no surprise that she looked so comfortable and fabulous as the Queen has long since favored the high-end British designer, Oldfield, with many of her most memorable looks coming from the couturier. In fact, he's been dressing HRH for over a decade and he previously dressed the late Princess Diana too.

Speaking about dressing the Queen Consort with Tatler, he explained why she comes back to his label time and time again. 

"My team knows her figure, her foibles, the bits that we want to exaggerate, the things that we want to diminish, as we do with every client," he said. "Like all women, she simply wants to look beautiful. She wants to be in skilled hands, with someone who knows what they’re doing – someone who can pull off what they promise."
