The Queen sat at her desk in Windsor Castle's White Drawing Room as she addressed the nation on coronavirus Covid-19. She wore a green dress with a pearl necklace as she praised the NHS, thanked key workers and expressed her sympathy at people suffering during this difficult time.

She teamed the dress with a stunning diamond and turquoise brooch, which used to belong to Queen Mary. It features a large turquoise stone surrounded by diamonds.
