The Queen of England appeared on TV with a rare televised speech on April 5th. She delivered a message of hope amid the current crisis, thanking the front-line medical workers. And while the historic address was enough to make headlines, something else glued the internet memesters to the screens.
It was the Queen’s dress. That bright shade of turquoise green… did someone say "green screen"? After Peter Chiykowski hailed it as “perfect Photoshop bait,” he put everyone on track with some initial royal dress memes. As you can imagine, the rest is history.
The longest-ruling British monarch was dressed in anything from a coronavirus-patterned shirt and a Joe Exotic-inspired top to sinister heavy metal attire. Let’s have a look at some of the funniest Queen dress remakes below. Long live the Meme!

In a speech that was filmed at Windsor Castle, the Queen thanked everyone on the NHS front line “who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all.” It was only the fourth-ever special address to the nation in her 68 years of reign.
But nothing is a coincidence when it comes to the royal family. In fact, some believe that the Queen’s choice of dress color is a sign of solidarity to medical professionals working tirelessly to save lives and curb the pandemic. Upon taking a closer look, you will see that the particular shade of green is commonly worn by medical staff.

It's been observed that the Queen is usually spotted wearing neon colors for her public appearances. But the real reason is purely practical. According to Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, the Queen’s bright outfits allow the public to catch sight of her through crowds. She explained in the documentary “The Queen at 90”: "Don't forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are so deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen's hat as she went past.”
