Homage to the Queen was a specially produced ballet to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Choreographed by Frederick Ashton, Messel was the obvious choice for the costume design. Writing in the Observer, Richard Buckle called Messel 'an artist in the great tradition of Inigo Jones, adept at producing effects of splendour, fantasy and romance.'
