Label TextIn the fairy tale setting for this magazine cover, the intense orange of the Queen's gown spills into the foreground, as the regal couple, their servant, and a jester with his bird are silhouetted against the turquoise sky. Their castle seems to float beyond blue trees, otherworldly and fantastical.
