Can someone post the photo that the lady took at Sandringham?

itswinetime · 23/12/2018 20:59

It was this one. I too could spend ages browsing clothes I don't needs/can't afford Blush

Ok, here’s my first contribution to ‘Style a Duchess’ with a Wimbledon outfit for Kate.

This could be polarising but I tried to choose something that is different from what she would normally wear but I could actually imagine her wearing IYKWIM. It’s abit short for a Duchess so that would probably need to be sorted.

Dress is primrose flutter dress by Zimmerman

Thanks winetime that is a great shot!

AhoyDelBoy · 23/12/2018 21:07

I’m sure she could haul out a pair of nude shoes and a clutch to pair with the dress Wink. Also sunglasses would need to be more refined (not the heavy framed ray bans). This dress is so far from anything I would actually wear but I think it is perfect for a Duchess attending Wimbledon.

Can anyone guess who this beautiful lady is/ was.
Disclaimer: i am not a fan of hers but it is so interesting to see how royals started out. Also, my pet theory is that when you are old, your character is more readable in your face than in your dewy youth. Or that bitterness is damaging.

That’s Princess Michael of Kent

Harebellmeadow · 23/12/2018 21:14

I admit it was far too easy . . .

Clionba · 23/12/2018 21:17

Princess Michael still looks the same. She's an attractive woman.

Andrew? Looks dodgy in this pic though . . .

ElspethFlashman · 23/12/2018 22:18

Yep! Looks like a used car salesman named Gary. Who calls himself Gaz.

Still though.... If I had enough pints on me.....

AhoyDelBoy · 23/12/2018 22:23

Just being silly really Curly Blush. Dropping you a wee curtsy because I just ran away with your idea and introduced an event specific outfit.

WipsGlitter you win the thread with those evening suggestions! Divine 🥇

PawneeParksDept · 23/12/2018 22:31

Temperley London do lovely things, I wonder the Duchesses don't use them more it's a British label

AhoyDelBoy · 23/12/2018 22:38

I think this dress would suit both Kate and Meghan (when she’s not pregnant though). I love the colour. Maybe an idea for a NYE cocktail 🍸 party.
