Princess Eugenie's wedding: The sartorial highs and lows. Plus Fergie's back, bitches!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Following on from the general royal style thread, which is fast filling up, here's one just to discuss today's outfits.

My predictions

I’m really hoping Fergie will look fabulous - <a class="break-all" href="http://go.mumsnet.com/?xs=1&id=470X1554755&url=goo.gl/images/Ex3BbE" target="_blank">teal or <a class="break-all" href="http://go.mumsnet.com/?xs=1&id=470X1554755&url=goo.gl/images/oiAQaV" target="_blank">forest green look good on her.

After Kate's recent trip to the V&A, I’m hoping for something a bit more adventurous than a pale blue or yellow coat dress. Sophie in blue or pink Wickstead, Meghan in navy and/or boat-neck. She and Victoria Beckham may end up in similar outfits.

The Queen in fuchsia, neon green or yellow, Ladies Sarah and Helen in something elegant and understated, Karen Spencer in a dress that’s spectacular but so tight she can’t breathe.

And of course Princess Anne in a dress she's owned since 1986 that still fits her perfectly!

I think Beatrice did a decent job of that to be honest. Baffling choice of reading. And I like the book itself a lot.

*scoliosis stupid auto correct

Er what is Beatrice talking about?? Roughnecks?

That reading was just lovely, the way Eugenie and jack looked at each other < sniff> I may have something in my eye

I always respect men more when they wear a wedding ring. It seems more elegant imo and respectful. A man who is proud to wear a wedding ring is a grand man.

I’m impressed with Beatrice’s reading,

Eugenie had scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, and had an operation when she was twelve.

Eugenie looks stunning, such a beautiful dress.
And she so does look like a beautiful young Queen Victoria.

Stunning dress and tiara. A very loved up couple. Sweet.

Beatrice is a good speaker

I assume the reading is supposed to represent how Eugenie first saw Jack? Could be totally wrong as I’ve never read the original book.

DMail Seems to be ignoring the Louisa thing. Hopefully it will just be forgotten about...

They'll probably save it until she gets married.

Gatsby reading makes sense now I've heard it.

Has Beatrice just called the groom a roughneck

She looks absolutely amazing! Her dress is stunning.

I love the whole theme of the wedding .

Her poor husband looked seconds away from fainting though.

*Jack seems to have slipped a gold signet ring onto his little finger when no one was looking

Nooo- it's been there since he walked in.*

Oh! I thought he was following Prince Charles' example of wearing a signet instead of a wedding ring.

BBC live coverage is awful. And hardly any pictures!

I have just been reading about her op - and how her surgeon is there in the congregation - I think I love her a bit (not usually a fan of royals much).

I liked Beatrice's reading and delivery!!

@Butterymuffin I agree, especially given the theme of the Great Gatsby.

What's the "Louisa thing"?

Bocelli and the RPO much more suitable than BGT contestants for a royal wedding i think... I miss the trumpeters but otherwise I think Eug has won royal wedding of the year

I always respect men more when they wear a wedding ring. It seems more elegant imo and respectful. A man who is proud to wear a wedding ring is a grand man.

Righto

@EdinaMonsoon The wind blew Louise's dress up briefly as she entered the church. No one seems to reporting on it thought, which is good.

Beatrice has a great narrator voice.

Whisky I'd have stopped just before 'Precisely at that point it vanished - and you were looking at an elegant young rough-neck.. ' as that bit undercuts what went earlier and seems the very opposite of wedding sentiment to me.

I liked Beatrice's reading. I’m starting to like these sisters a lot.
