Britain's Queen Elizabeth has sent a 110-year-old woman a new-style birthday card after she complained.

Earlier this year, Catherine Masters - who is the oldest resident in Oxfordshire, south east England - wrote a letter to the monarch stating the previous five royal birthday greetings she had received featured the queen wearing the same yellow outfit.

However, this year the 83-year-old royal surprised Catherine with a brand new greetings card which shows her wearing something completely different.

Oh look, it's blue. That's lovely, that'll do.

On opening the card, Catherine exclaimed: "Oh look, it's blue. That's lovely, that'll do."

In May this year, the pensioner - who lives in Stanford-in-the-Vale - was visited by the queen's grandson, Prince William.

The 27-year-old prince spent 40 minutes with the elderly lady at the Grange Care Centre.

He apologised on behalf of the monarch and invited her to a garden party at Buckingham Palace in July.

At the time, Catherine said: "I told him I would like the queen to have a new dress. I think either a blue or white one would be nice."
