Mrs. Thatcher frequently wore red on visits to the United States of America and other foreign countries whilst serving as Prime Minister. Red was a colour she did not generally wear in the United Kingdom due to its association with the opposition party. This suit was possibly worn for a CNN interview whilst visiting the USA. The buttons were almost certainly added by Mrs. Crawford, the Prime Minister’s personal assistant.
