The late Queen Elizabeth was famous for her discretion.

She never said anything in public that could ruffle the lightest of feathers. But she had one way of expressing what she really thought - through her wardrobe.

By Royal Appointment is a funny, poignant and celebratory new play about the kind of power that only a Queen can wield

- she charms the world through coats and admonishes her family through a carefully chosen hat.

But the Queen herself is uninterested in fashion; her look is managed by her Designer, her Milliner and most powerful of all her Dresser: a working-class girl who goes from advising the Queen on the colour of her lipsticks to the real power behind the throne. But The Dresser, like all royal favourites, is living on borrowed time.

By Royal Appointment is a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of our most popular monarch and the image she presented to the world. Starring much-loved Jane Asher as The Queen, stage and screen star Samantha Womack as The Dresser, Downton Abbey star David Robb as The Designer with Matthew Cottle as The Milliner, this smash hit play is written by Daisy Goodwin who created the hit ITV series Victoria.
