Queen Elizabeth II will appear on the front cover of Vogue for the first time in her reign to mark her upcoming Platinum Jubilee.
The cover of the upcoming April issue will feature a photo of the Queen in her early years wearing a crown and necklace.
In the issue, Vogue will look back on its own unique relationship with her Queen during her 70 years on the throne. It comes in the run-up to the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which take place on the first weekend of June.

British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful wrote in his editor's letter: "When I received my OBE for services to diversity in fashion several years ago, I thought carefully about what the decision to accept it would mean.
"Ultimately, I saw an ancient institution that was setting about on a programme of change and if they had noticed and wanted to recognise my work as something worth spotlighting, given the fact my endeavours were all about spotlighting under-represented people too, then I felt comfortable – keen, even – to engage."
This isn't the first time the Queen has appeared in Vogue. She was also featured sat on her mother's lap in a photo taken in 1927 when she was one.
