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!

The thing is, the Great Gatsby is not a great love story is it? I love both the book and the film adaptation but to me it's a tragedy of unrequited love & desperation.

What's with all the throat clearing right by the microphone?

Andrea Bocelli is awespme

I like the back of her dress. I think the front of it is really boring. The design on the material looks like the pattern on everything from Shanghai Tang. Her hair and makeup are lovely. They look happy and he looks like a nice bloke.

I think Beatrice needs a personal stylist TBH. Her clothes are very ageing. Her clothes remind me of what Nanna used to wear.

Bocelli and the RPO much more suitable than BGT contestants for a royal wedding i think

He was a bit more than just a BGT contestant though...

Oh my! Even I'm welling up now 😍

Oh, thanks for explaining that choice of reading.

@SillySallySingsSongs Why is that a 'bad' thing? That I think it is great that men wear wedding rings and I feel it shows love, respect and commitment? Why is that a 'bad' thing? Are you insecure about that for some reason?

Louisa thing?

So the reading is comparing Jack to Gatsby re his smile. That's why I'd just have had that bit. They didn't need the rest of the paragraph. Oh well, their choice. I'll give up on my pedantry now.

QueenOfTheAndals oh poor girl. I sincerely hope the red top rags don't go to town on that. She is still quite young, no?

I like Beatrice's bee brooch, a nice touch.

Pippa does not know how to dress a bump. I'm having flashbacks of what she wore to Harry and Meghan's wedding, the dress with the weird dropped waist and pleated skirt.

I don't think they will, she's still only about 14 or 15.

Beatrice chatting to her mother - she was chatting away at Harry and Meghan's wedding as well. It's not the best example of good manners, which is surprising!

Louise/Louisa who? Sorry I’ve missed that bit.

I want a man who is as kind as everybody is saying the groom is

Louise's dress blew up in the wind. The media seem to be respectfully ignoring it happening which is good judgement on their part.

I think Beatrice needs a personal stylist TBH. Her clothes are very ageing. Her clothes remind me of what Nanna used to wear.
I think Kate more accurately fits that description these days.

The cynic in me thinks Andrew thinks he is too important to sit!

That's the way it has been done in all the royal weddings except for Meghan and Harry's. Even Diana's father, as frail as he was, stood beside her throughout the exchange of vows.

Stunningly beautiful dress. And I love the no veil choice.

I have to say they both look like they just want to jump each other 😂

Goodness me, this is a rather dreary sermon.

If the red tops have an iota of compassion, they will ignore the dress incident.
She’s a child. I am not going to even mention it again

Are you insecure about that for some reason?

Errr no and my DH wears one. It just seem a daft point imo.

Im completely welling up watching, didn’t happen with any of the others. They seem like a really sweet couple.
She looks so happy (as does he) and I love her dress and choice of no veil.
Beatrice looks good too!

Ah Lady Louise Windsor.
