Happy Birthday Lizzie! (Que all the party emojis!) The ultimate woman of our time, Queen Elizabeth II turns 89 years young today and if Kate Middelton hurries up she will have her fifth great-grandchild as a special present. Praying for a Princess

***However, just in case that doesn’t happen, we celebrated with Queen Liz herself by delving into her wardrobe at Buckingham Palace. We were lucky enough to be given some serious sartorial tips from the sassiest woman in the land and so here they are in the above gallery for all her style subjects to enjoy! Sorry you couldn’t personally try on her crown, we are currently borrowing it and wearing it to write this article. Sister has never felt more like a Queen.

*Check out the gallery above for the Queen’s style tips, prepare to get your REGAL ON! *
