Harry & Meghan have arrived in Sydney.
The purple folders coordinating with her coat will not slow down speculation...

Apparently this is the list of other senior royals there and their tiaras

The Earl and Countess of Wessex (wearing the Five Aquamarine tiara)
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester (wearing the Cartier Indian tiara)
Princess Michael of Kent (wearing the Kent Festoon tiara)

Thanks paradyning.

I'm going to search out what the other two tiaras are.

susurration · 23/10/2018 21:38

I can't seem to add images but the cartier Indian tiara and the Kent festoon tiara are fabulous! Much prefer both to the lover's knot.

Better photo out of Kate's dress. Pure 1980s prom dress. Dreadful. Theresa May needed better underwear.

The other tiaras not sure who owns them though may not be the queen.

What on earth is Kate’s dress about?!

itswinetime · 23/10/2018 21:47

Kate's dress looks less shiny in these hello

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/10/2018 21:47

Nope, still don't like it. It's like a prom dress from 1985.

AaahhwoooooOOOOooOOOOo1 · 23/10/2018 21:48

Or, here as that one is quite small

A rare miss from Kate. Awful.

itswinetime · 23/10/2018 21:49

It's still not great but at least it isn't shiny still very dated though

Clionba · 23/10/2018 21:49

Max's tiara - wowsers! Better than "Granny's chips"!!!!

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/10/2018 21:50

It's up there with the chartreuse Erdem and pink Marchesa as one of her worst gowns. What happened Kate? You always used to give great gown!

FarmerJan · 23/10/2018 21:53

Loving this thread but someone please enlighten me as to who Mabel is!

Paradyning · 23/10/2018 21:54

It is incredible though that she can wear that unforgiving shape 6 months post partum with her third!

user1457017537 · 23/10/2018 21:54

I loved Maxima’s headband hat but wasn’t keen on the suit. I don’t like the sheer cape overlayed on the evening dress either.

Kate. I think Kate should have her own pieces of jewellery commissioned. I wouldn’t like to always wear my late MIL’s jewellery when I went out. I didn’t like her having Diana’s engagement ring either. I would have refused to wear it, it was her’s.
Think it’s verging on creepy now.

Paradyning · 23/10/2018 21:55

Mabel is willem's sister in law. Unfortunately her husband died after a ski accident in 2013.

SenecaFalls · 23/10/2018 21:56

Princess Mable is the widow of Dutch Prince Friso, so SIL to Wax and Max. She lives in London.

FarmerJan · 23/10/2018 21:57

Thank you!

Paradyning · 23/10/2018 21:58

Check out her wedding dress. It was crazy.

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/10/2018 22:00

Blimey, so many bows on Mabel's wedding dress!

SenecaFalls · 23/10/2018 22:00

Is Kate's dress taffeta? That can be a tricky fabric to wear, even if pure silk.

NoParticularPattern · 23/10/2018 22:02

Has anyone ever used the word “understated” in relation to Mabel? I feel like she might take great offence to such a suggestion....
