nononononono, you're confusing guest and host. Her Maj would not announce that she's coming to visit your home, that would be presumptuous. it's up to you to extend the invitation first. besides which, given a choice between my 21st floor hovel and Windsor Castle / Sandringham / Balmoral / Buckingham Palace / Holyrood House , I doubt that the Wolery here is going to hold much appeal.
But even if HM *is* coming to dinner chez vous, you're the host, so YOU get to tell everyone else what to wear.
I noticed particularly "black shoes and black socks". Well of course, but it's sad that protocol books have to mention this. Michael Jackson has a lot to answer for, and white socks with black trowse is on the list.

the age-old question: "what to wear, what to wear?"
