I remember that. She was excoriated by the press for her horrendous fashion during that trip. Brown boots with a blue patterned suit and Black Bag. There was a very swish dinner on the Britannia in the San Diego harbor (my hometown) and a lot of British celebrities came down from Hollywierd. The ladies were so well-dressed and glamorous, and the queen looked very dowdy in comparison. I think that's when she started modernizing her wardrobe. It would be another 10 years before Angela Kelly started dressing her and I think that's when HM really found her fashion groove.
