The Queen carried on with her royal duties during the heatwave despite the UK facing its hottest day on record.
The monarch, 96, welcomed the new US ambassador Jane Hartley from the safety of inside Windsor Castle during the virtual audience on Tuesday.
The Queen, who was seated in her Oak Room sitting room at Windsor, has in the past been pictured with a Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Link purifier fan at the Palace, and is also likely to also have one at her Berkshire castle.
“In warmer weather, I typically design with a more open neckline,” she wrote in her book The Other Side of the Coin.
When dressing casually, the Queen often wears silk blouses or cotton shirts, and a skirt.
Royal servants will also be helping to keep the Queen’s dogs cool – her elderly dorgi Candy and two corgi puppies Muick and Sandy.
But she was out and about last Friday when she made a rare public appearance away from Windsor Castle to formally open the new £22m Thames Hospice building in nearby Maidenhead.
