@CurlyWurlyTwirly It was from &Other Stories, dark green and practically a bargain at £69! The skirt was lambs leather, not vegan, and although not a bargain, it wasn't outrageously expensive.

I’ve looked at that shirt many times but it’s a terrible colour on me. It’s all about wearing what suits you isn’t it. Meghan wears subtle colours because she knows they suit her. I think brighter colours would suit her too but I expect she will get more daring with time or maybe she has decided to leave the crazy colours for the Queen!

H&M are visiting Fiji and Tonga, which both have the Zika virus. So presumably it will be some time before they could even think about starting a family.

Meghan does seem to have been thrown into the deep end. But I assume she's quite capable of saying if she thinks it's all a bit too much a bit too soon.

I do like looking at the royal fashions. I rarely venture into the S&B topic, given that I have neither, but I do like to fantasise about, if I were a foot taller and about ten dress sizes thinner, what I'd wear. It does seem that the European royals can do the elegant and striking better than the British, though.

Fab thread.
I live in Windsor -round the corner from the Queen- and may go to Cambridge Gate to see carriage go in.
Will report back Grin

Clionba · 04/10/2018 22:12

Please do! We need someone on the spot for details. Although we strongly suspect at least one member of the family is on mumsnet....

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/10/2018 22:13

Yes, my bet is on Fergie!

You were always my favourite 80s Royal Wink

Jackietheduck · 04/10/2018 22:50

What will Fergie wear? Anyone want to take a guess? I'm going to say royal blue...... I have no idea why I think that other than I don't think she will go for mad florals and she will want to stand out as the MOTB.

Kate will go for a frock dress (yawn).
Meghan will go for subtle so she won't distract attention from the bride.
Beatrice.......I'm inclined to think she won't go for white as it isn't her colour. I'm going to go with black. Though I think she will probably end up cream.
Camilla - powder blue or cream I suppose.
Chelsy - I'm sure she will be there as she is a good friend of the York sisters. A bright colour I expect because she seems bubbly and good fun and won't slink into the background.
Victoria Beckham - navy I suppose. She will look like a venetian blind as usual. .
Flowergirls - will be in white I'm sure.

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/10/2018 22:52

Black would not look good on Beatrice - too harsh with her colouring.

OP posts:
Jackietheduck · 04/10/2018 23:02

So taking on board she won't wear black, I will go for blue or green. I think blue rather than green!

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/10/2018 23:03

The colour she wore to H&M's wedding was lovely. I wasn't s fan of the dress but that shade of blue suited her. I'm guessing it'll be something paler for the wedding though.

OP posts:
OlennasWimple · 04/10/2018 23:06

Fergie will be in a bolder version of whatever the general "wedding colour" is, I reckon.

Jackietheduck · 05/10/2018 00:34

But what do we think the wedding colour will be. Play along now.........please :).

Horsemad · 05/10/2018 00:41

Burgundy 🙂

IdaBWells · 05/10/2018 00:42

No idea why but I am going to go for a rose pink, no idea in who but it’s what came to me when I thought what would be a nice colour in October.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 05/10/2018 05:54

Ooh I like this game!
Surely Beatrice is Maid of Honour so will be in a long gown. My money is on a blush colour something chiffon.

Flower girls; white natch. With blush sashes.
I’m sure Eugenie will wear that same deep cream colour as Fergie’s wedding dress. I’m desperate for Eugenie to wear Vivienne Westwood. She will my absolute fashion hero if she does. I see Fergie in a deep peony . Will tone with the blush but she will stand out.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 05/10/2018 06:02

Meghan will want to fade into the back ground. I reckon she will wear something like the olive dress she wore to Louis’s christening. Messy diy bun or hairdresser?

Camilla, Kate& Sophie will stick to their signature styles. (Robinson Valentine; McQueen coat dress & Emilia Wickstead mid calf length respectively.) However I’ve not seen an autumn royal wedding so I wonder if they will wear deeper colours. Kate was in that mid blue coat dress at her friend’s wedding the other day.
The Queen will coordinate with the wedding party for the photos, so I think probably fuschia or something.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 05/10/2018 06:11

I’m sure Eugenie will wear the York Tiara which was an outright present to her from the Queen.

I remember Sarah arriving in the flower crown and leaving as a fully fledged duchess in the diamond tiara; which I thought was a nice touch. As Eugenie is a Blood Princess I guess she won’t have to announce herself as a Royal.

Clionba · 05/10/2018 06:13

Meghan will wear something in a bleurgh shade, slightly ill fitting and with awkward shoes, but still look fabulous. The usual suspects from Kate, Camilla and Sophie. Fergie's diet will have worked and she'll be in something form fitting. Beatrice as chief bridesmaid will be in a pastel silk number. Amal Clooney in burnt siena, Victoria Beckham in navy blue and thunderous expression.

@CurlyWurlyTwirly Westwood is good at designing for the more curvaceous figure so could be a good choice for Eugenie. And I hope she's adequately supported - she often looks in need of a decent bra!

Beatrice in blush rather than rose pink (hair clash?) I could see. I've not read about the bridesmaids and page boys anywhere except in the Express but I didn't realise Euj was so matey with Robbie Williams.

Kate in pale blue or yellow frock coat for sure, Sophie in blue Wickstead, Lady Louise hopefully not dressed like a middle-aged woman, Meghan maybe in navy and scandalising pearl clutches who think dark colours shouldn't be worn for weddings!

Camilla in pale pink with a hat to rival the wedding cake, the queen in neon green or yellow, Princess Anne in a dress she's owned since 1986, Sarah Chatto in something elegant and understated.

I'm going out on a limb and suggest green for Fergie - teal or forest look great on her. Watching her interact with the rest of the royals is, after the outfits, what I'm looking forward to the most!!

There's a type of turquoise plate which only the royal families are allowed to have, so I reckon Andrew will insist on turquoise to labour a point.

Orange flowers.

QueenOfTheAndals · 05/10/2018 06:44

Really @VanillaSugary???
