Special edition: Eugenie wedding thread

Harry and Meghan have 2 days more in NZ before they head back to London and, if I was her, I'd put on pyjamas, get Netflix fired up, and not leave my bed for several days! William and Kate will be out for a sporty engagement in Essex tomorrow and I'm sure we'll start to see them more as she's now officially back from maternity leave..

No idea what the continental royals are up to but New My Royals (does that title even make sense?) is my go-to link for them!

Yes true @Butterymuffin. I’d never even thought of Camilla as the DoC which of course she is. As for William well I don’t know if we’ll be discussing his fashion choices much . The DoC, for me personally, is just Kate. I’ll say Kate from now on (I actually can’t remember atm if I’ve seen other posters refer to Kate as the DoC or not).

My favourite from the slide I linked is number 4. Kate looks stunning!

Oh, the jewels are my favourite AhoyDelBoy. Just spent an enjoyable few minutes drooling over that.

I was reading up on Rania and she married Abdullah less than a year after she first met him. I guess they do things speedily in Jordan! He's half-British - King Hussein seems to have been drawn to foreign women.

Queen Noor was a very glamorous queen too - I can remember seeing her in the media in the 80s and 90s. She's also gone down the cosmetic surgery route, alas.

I think all have gone down the cosmetic surgery route to be honest, even if it is just dentistry. I also believe they use hair extensions. If you look at photos from when they were young teens they all look different and I don’t think facial features change.

It’s the best isn’t it Haworthia. Imagine wearing any of those pieces!

Thanks for the Instagram slideshow @AhoyDelBoy. It was worth perservering with those linkies!
Kate's hair in the first one, can't believe how awful it looked, a rare misstep for her.

The more i see it; the more I love the Lotus Flower tiara, the more I love it.

I'm on first name terms with all the Royals on this thread; figuratively speaking. Although I can only refer to HM by her title. Elizabeth just sounds wrong.

right @Queen, I hope you are busy preparing our next thread!

interview by Queen Noor of Jordan.

I remember her too in the 80s & 90s, she was very high profile

I met Queen Noor about 15 years ago in a small group of people for about 30 minutes of conversation. Lovely person, lovely to look at, and beautifully turned out. Very warm personality which seemed genuine.

No.6 on AhoyDelBoy's link: Lotus Flower Tiara. ''The Queen Mother had received this in the form of a necklace in 1923 which she had made into a tiara''.

How low on the head the QM is wearing the tiara! Obviously 1920s style and so I guess wearing it this way would have been seen as being quite fashion forward and a parting with tradition. I'm reminded of when Diana wore a necklace, was it, as a head band? Some loved it, some hated it. I'll try and find a link.

It's shown in this link if you scroll through. Interesting about Diana wearing a lot of fake stones, enjoying passing them off as ££££.

The most striking thing about this photo is the bright blue eyeliner in the waterline. So delightfully 80s.

I did a double take at that as well Haworthia

Kate fab in 13/16/17!

Good suggestions for Meghan when she arrives back home and gets into her pyjamas. She could watch two series of The Crown back to back on Netflix.

She and Harry have really gone down well on their tour.
