while this is in Vogue Mazazine, I think its cultural value is important politically.

Annie Leibowitz photographed it. This young poet has been a shaper of culture today that I find both beautiful and politically meaningful.

Elizabeth, she casually asked if the monarch would "take off her crown" for the next shot. Queen Elizabeth looked truly shocked and said she couldn't because it would muss her hair which had taken some time to do.

Now, the reason for my explanation was to head off those who would say this thread should be in the Lounge. I agree she is an artist and pre-eminant in her field.
