Queen Consort Camilla has sported blue ensembles since it was confirmed she would be known simply as ‘Queen’ once King Charles III is crowned at his coronation.
The monarch’s wife, 75, opted for the sapphire hues to show ‘reassured confidence’ as well as ‘nobility and status’, according to a colour psychologist.
Lancashire-based Lee Chambers told FEMAIL that Camilla’s decision to wear royal and navy blue outfits following the confirmation of her title suggests she is ‘calm and ‘composed’.
The royal sported a bright blue Fiona Clare dress in a new official portrait with the King, which was released alongside the coronation invitations that announced that the monarch’s wife will be known as Queen Camilla after the historic event.
Then, for their first outing after the King confirmed his wife’s new title, to the North Yorkshire town of Malton on Wednesday, Camilla again opted for blue. She donned a pinstriped navy blue blazer and skirt.

Lee said: ‘With Camilla to be crowned Queen, it is no surprise to see her dressed in both royal and navy shades of blue.
‘Blue carries a historical symbolism of nobility and status, and this still makes it a strong royal statement colour to this day.
‘In addition, blue conveys that the wearer has a calm, reassured confidence, and it’s associations with trustworthiness and loyalty are qualities that Queen Camilla will be wanting to send as a message during this time.
The expert continued: ‘Both of these shades of blue have emotive ties to a sense of calm and peace, and Camilla will no doubt be wanting to project these values during her public appearances.
The new official portrait of Their Majesties was taken last month in the Blue Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace by Hugo Burnand, who will also take their official Coronation photographs.
‘And finally, the choice of blue often gives us consideration for how an individual is feeling.
‘It is likely to suggest that the wearer is feeling reflective and thoughtful, but also composed and grounded, ready for a significant event.’

Dressed in blue to coordinate with her husband, Camilla is wearing a favourite Fiona Clare dress with a diamond clasp pearl necklace and pearl earrings.
The profile photos for the Royal Family’s social media pages were refreshed with the new portrait of the monarch, 74, and his wife.
The image can now be found on the Royal Family’s Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube accounts ahead of the coronation on May 6 in Westminster Abbey.
Updates of the Royal Family’s social media profiles have happened before, with the pages typically being changed to show more sombre images for Remembrance Day each November, for around a week, for instance.
