However, it transpired that her own fashion take on designs and patterns and styles did not go down too well with a remarkable number of people who took to social media (surprise surprise) to air their "disgraceful behaviour" grievances against Dame Anna.
She failed to remove her fashionable sunglasses, which by all accounts she wears pretty well all the time as part of her image, while sitting with and conversing with Her Majesty.
Gadzooks. Arm the Beefeaters m'Lord and get the noose prepared. Royal etiquette has been breached in a most treasonous manner.
Have these sunglasses-etiquette hordes have nothing more to be concerned about?
Their country is in turmoil over everything from a tsunami of illegal immigrants, rampant drug crime and Brexit bewilderment - and they're annoyed because one woman with "Dame" before her name did not remove her sunnies while chatting with another woman who has "Queen" beside her name.
It did not bother Buckingham Palace's management and advisory folk: they said people just needed to behave with courtesy while in Her Majesty's presence, and there were no firm or strict rules about fashion behaviour.
When I saw the Queen and her old man being driven along Marine Parade in about 1970 I was wearing sunglasses...Oh, the shame of it.
Mind you, my chum wasn't even wearing a shirt.
I doubt the Queen nudged Phil to say "look at those horrid little colonial chaps. Poor form."
No, I reckon she spotted my Easy Rider sunglasses and figured I looked as cool as a badly styled 16-year-old could look.
I bought them after seeing the Peter Fonda classic because they looked, well, cool.
I think the correct term for the style was aviator glasses but the hordes who bought them just called them Easy Rider sunnies.
Yep, I bought them in 1970 and I still have them, although they look as battered as Peter Fonda does these days. So I got the fine OPSM crew to get me new sunnies. Yep, Easy Rider style.
I used to wear my old Fonda wannabees everywhere: right through the 70s and right through the night; getting to a table at the wonderfully barely lit Cabana on a Friday evening just as the band was about to go on was always challenging.
But hey, you had to look cool as you were helped to your feet after crashing into a table occupied by four or five edgy sailors off a British freighter tied up at the port.
And, after seeing top motorcycle racing ace Stu Avant wearing sunnies under the visor of his full-face helmet, guess who else started wearing his Easy Rider jobs under his visor?
Then there was the lead singer in one of my favourite bands of the day, Mott the Hoople:
Ian Hunter wore his glasses everywhere and all the time.
No one ever saw his eyes.
Saul Hunter, the chap from Guns N' Roses who picked up the name Slash, was also never seen without his dark glasses.
They weren't as cool as my Easy Rider pair but hey, he had to look cool so that was that.
My days of trying to look cool are long, long gone, but the shades are practical and sensible while driving or spending time outside on the brighter days.
After reading about Dame Anna's apparent disrespect to royalty I'm going write to HRM and ask what the story is when Phil wants to don his shaded glasses.
Does he need permission?
Ditto for Charles and the rest of the royal family tree.
I don't think so.
I reckon the dear woman may have quietly leaned over and asked Dame Anna "can you get those on hire purchase?"
