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

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 see the feather monstrosity now. What were they thinking?!

It was me who thought Harry and kate didn't talk. Just making assumptions from the last few times I've seen them. (Not jist this wedding). But im happy that's not the case!

I think she looks absolutely beautiful. The dress is gorgeous. I was a bit cynical about it beforehand but at the end of the day it's hard not to be happy for them. I love a wedding!

I think Prince Andrew is an arse and I thought the comment about Eugenie and Jack having more friends was crass. However I thought the comment was meant to be a joke (that didn't come across like one!)

The gospel choir at Meghan and Harry's wedding was a nod to Meghan's African-American background. I think they were fantastic and a great choice.

@Getonthatbroomandfly love's divine

Butterymuffin · 12/10/2018 11:48

Hymn was Love Divine, All Loves Excelling. Very trad but you can't go wrong with it.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 12/10/2018 11:48

Phillip looks tired

Getonthatbroomandfly · 12/10/2018 11:48

Thank you @ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual Smile

Butterymuffin · 12/10/2018 11:49

Also I loved the choir's harmonies in the final verse. This is where having a proper choir really shows. Most weddings you have to hope guests can do their best.

RosinaAlmaviva · 12/10/2018 11:49

Everyone knocked it out of the park today.

Princess Anne - looking wonderful in green
Fergie - ditto
And both of them matched the tiara!

Meghan - navy is flattering and appropriate, although I agree with everyone else that she looks pregnant.
Kate is classic RoyalOccasion!Kate, but I love that colour on her and it's more seasonal than a pastel.
I appreciated the Cambridges and Sussexes entering so quickly & discreetly and not pulling focus from the bride.

BertrandRussell · 12/10/2018 11:51

Lovely clothes-but a pretty dull wedding.

Petalflowers · 12/10/2018 11:51

That choral piece sounded magnificent. I bet it sounded great in the chapel.

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/10/2018 11:52

Ah now I know why Kate's dress looks familiar. She's worn a similar style before.

Bit of shuffling while bridal party signs paperwork... do you think they're sneaking a KitKat or granola bar to keep going....

MissLingoss · 12/10/2018 11:54

Commentator talking while the orchestra is playing. Rude, rude, rude. Someone please tell him to STFU.

Lovely dress, though.

Whisky2014 · 12/10/2018 11:56

Omg he looks overwhelmed

WorriesGalore · 12/10/2018 11:56

Why are the parents looking upset?

dontknowwhattodo80 · 12/10/2018 11:56

Loving RW's daughters response to everything Grin

Petalflowers · 12/10/2018 11:57

Groom looks relieved it’s all over, the Queen looks tired.

Butterymuffin · 12/10/2018 11:57

Just realised we've had hardly any camera shots of Her Maj this time. They seemed to show her a lot more at Harry and Meghan's wedding.

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/10/2018 11:57

@CurlyWurlyTwirly Well he's nearly 100, I'd be tired too!

Loved the deep curtesy to granny Grin

Whisky2014 · 12/10/2018 11:57

This music is terrible!

Thesearmsofmine · 12/10/2018 11:57

I thought the queen looked poorly.

RosinaAlmaviva · 12/10/2018 11:57

Nice curtsey from Eugenie and they didn't miss it like they did with Meghan!

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/10/2018 11:57

Robbie W's daughter really looks like him, doesn't she? Especially when she smiles.
