Obviously just to discuss the outfits, not to chat about the family dynamics!

Beatrice/Eugenie (I don't know which one is which) probably play it safe after the pretzel hat disaster at Wills do.

I loved Lady Charlotte Wellselsys dress when I was scouting for mine.

Bit Handmaids Tale, bit beautiful, bit blanket. Love it

@areyoubeingserviced I agree, Sarah's dress was gorgeous and timeless. So simple and elegant.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2018 20:13

Here's a retrospective of Royal wedding dresses from the last 10 years. Some beautiful dresses there, especially the 3(3!!) Beatrice of Monaco wore.

MakeItStopNeville · 18/05/2018 20:14

I love Princess Margaret’s dress and,apart from the neckline, I quite like Princess Anne’s first one too. Am looking forward at getting up before dawn (in US) to ogle dresses...although am recording it as am more ham likely to sleep right through it!

Sunbeam18 · 18/05/2018 20:14

Princess Margaret was so stunning

exhaustedbylife · 18/05/2018 20:55

I'm going left field and saying Stella McCartney and possibly mermaid/ fishtail type number.

Princess Margret looked stunning in her dress

NashvilleQueen · 18/05/2018 21:00

I thought today that it’s a shame Tara Palmer-Tompkinson isn’t around. I loved her outfit at William & Kate’s wedding

I'd forgotten about TPT. Such a shame..

I think Meghan might go for a white version of that dress actually. Something striking and architectural rather than lacey or fussy. No other way to do a big dress after Diana's.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2018 21:07

The hat pointing down to her nose was a nice touch! Tara seemed like good fun and the sort to not take herself so seriously. Very sad.

This one......if it works!

suchatiredbunny · 18/05/2018 21:11

Oh honestly, I posted a comment about how stunning I thought Beatrice looked in this purple gown, then posted a picture but not the post blame it on the gin

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2018 21:11

I'll say this for the York sisters, they're not afraid to take fashion risks! At least you know they won't be dull.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 18/05/2018 21:13

I am saying Ethereal embroidered cape, so train srats ate shoulders in stead of waist.
I am saying high sheer neckline with modesty embroidery. over the bust, a bit like her engagement dress
Hair up, of course, but which tiara?

Bratsandtwats · 18/05/2018 21:16

IMO Princess Margaret had the best ever wedding dress. She looked stunning!
I hope Meghan goes for simple and understated.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2018 21:17

I'm hoping for a white tux like Bianca Jagger circa 1970 Grin

suchatiredbunny · 18/05/2018 21:18

I'm not sure she'll have a tiara, maybe more a headpiece like Charlene of Monaco wore round her chignon. But if she does, I'd say the Spencer tiara as a nod to Diana given that there's been a lot about how involved Harry has got her family in things.
My favourite tiara is the Queen Mary one, the one with all the pearls.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2018 21:18

Which tiara did Kate wear for her wedding?

Lexilooo · 18/05/2018 21:19

Oh yes Sarah Chatto's dress was stunning, had completely forgotten that one!

OlennasWimple · 18/05/2018 21:19

Beatrice's hat made over £81k for charity, so no-one can really complain about it Smile

MM has got to be in floor length, surely? And it has to be big enough to look good in Windsor - not as big as needed in Westminster Cathedral, but definitely not a slinky number

And I read somewhere that Harry will have to shave off his beard because of army rules

Redcrayons · 18/05/2018 21:27

ah yes, who didn't have that age-old 'which diamond-encrusted tiara shall I wear' dilemma.
mine was from Debenhams

So we're thinking Brit designer rather than American? I don't know any couture designers so can't offer any insight here.

TheDowagerCuntess · 18/05/2018 21:32

Wow, Princess Anne's dress is fabulous - very striking.

Mildly diverted that Meghan is staying at Cliveden House, DH and I got engaged there.

NashvilleQueen · 18/05/2018 21:40

Prog on R4 few weeks ago said would definitely be British designer

exhaustedbylife · 18/05/2018 21:41

One of Diana's tiaras perhaps?!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 18/05/2018 21:46

I wish Harty would shave off his beard, he looks better without it, but very.young.
Apparently, when he was at the Cenotaph in uniform he was "allowed" because he had left the Army
