It took a few years, but Queen Elizabeth II will appear on the UK Vogue cover for the very first time in honor of her Platinum Jubilee (celebrating her 70 years on the throne.)

And before you imagine her Majesty posing up a storm, the magazine is using a photo from 1957, taken by Lord Snowden, who was the de facto Royal photographer.

 

 

Of course, In 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge was a Vogue cover model, but this is the QUEEN.

According to a spokeswoman for the magazine, the issue will pay a ‘special tribute to Her Majesty, 95, ahead of the Platinum Jubilee, by looking back on its own unique relationship with the Monarch during her 70 years on the throne’.

 

 

This English celebrate this milestone all year, but there will be a four-day UK ‘bank holiday’ weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June, so everyone can join in the celebrations.

Those English sure know how to party.
