First she’s tweeting, now Queen Elizabeth is taking advice from the younger generation of royals!

In a move that’s oh-so-very Duchess Catherine, the Queen has recycled an outfit while on her latest outing visiting a hospital in Liverpool.

While attending the hospital with her husband Prince Philip, the Queen donned a pink Stewart Parvin coat and matching hat by Angela Kelly.

Beneath the outerwear, Her Majesty donned a long-sleeved floral dress, also by Stewart Parvin, which she paired with her signature loafers and black Launer London handbag.

Even the floral dress beneath the Queen’s coat was identical to her outfit from Royal Ascot in 2013.

Spot the difference! This was the Queen’s Royal Ascot 2013 look.

Back in 2013 at Royal Ascot, Queen Elizabeth wore… well, practically the same thing!

The only difference was the handbag, which although it looked the same, wasn’t totally identical to her 2013 sartorial choice.

Catherine is the master of recycling clothes. Watch the video for one of her latest inspired choices! Post continues.

Meanwhile, while patrons of the hospital were thrilled to get the chance to meet Her Royal Highness, not all were able to keep their cool.

One little boy, Lewis Connett, tasked with handing the Queen flowers couldn’t handle the pressure of the situation and broke down in floods of tears!

Young Lewis couldn’t handle all the attention.

Oh the emotion!

Little Lewis was diagnosed with Apert syndrome as a baby and has been treated in the hospital.

He was selected especially to present the queen the her bouquet.

Luckily, Queen Elizabeth had quite the sense of humour and found the whole episode rather amusing.

The 90-year-old royal offered up her best reassuring smile, to try to put Lewis at ease.

But the situation was just too overwhelming for the little tyke, who grasped at his mum.

Don’t worry little fella, we’d probably do the same thing!
