Royal style & gossip: who's got the best gownage and crownage?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Here we go again, and as always say what you like about the clothes but keep it civil re the wearers of said clothes!

previous thread

Wetdog that was my second choice - it was a close-run thing but I voted for the red checked Catherine Walker in the end as I thought it was cheery. Really liked the Remembrance Day one too.

I really do need to change my name, it’s not nearly glamorous enough for this thread...

she'll wear a coat dress as it'll be chilly up there!
In tartan. As she's so literal with her work uniform.

I guess it's for security reasons the late announcement. Maybe there's a higher risk at present than when HM went

Yes, the Black Watch tartan would be very appropriate for the Dundee area.

Kate has a McQueen black watch tartan coat dress from 2012.
If she’s not doing a walkabout, maybe she can wear it with a polo neck and boots underneath.

I hadn't even thought about the security threat being different- that makes sense..

I do hope there is an ok crowd

Ooh Hairy that was my second choice too, the red check was so unashamedly happy!

The security risks must be ridiculously high these days, particularly with Brexit - people with extreme thoughts about that may use the RF to get a message out any way possible. Horrible thought, but anyone in a position of power or visibility is at risk.

I hope the colours are vibrant tomorrow!

Who knew this thread was secretly filled with republican Dundonians!?

Fashion note to Kate: please don't whip out the tartan just because you're in Scotland. It's not bloody Brigadoon!

That's a gorgeous pic of Kate.
I love that tartan. Probably me favourite.

I voted for the green coat worn in Sweden.

Surely one of you up in Scotland could photo bomb the visit tomorrow???? Take a placard to say hi to us on the thread? You'd have to be wearing a Kate headband though, like code, so we know it's you

Wax with his eldest. Definitely has mum’s personality!

Sorry @frugalkitty I'll be at work. Also, I fear my staunch republican husband would lock me out if I went and waved a banner about to welcome royals

Fergie: outfit on point!

Ah Fergie! I bet she's good company in small doses though and probably quite a laugh.

I love Fergie. She doesn't give a hoot. I saw that pic on insta tonight and thought she looked ace.

Ooh go Fergie!

I clicked that insta link and read that Fergie's going to Herman Ballbreaker's party.

Must put my glasses on 🤦🏼‍♀️

I voted for the Christmas coat - it's so gloriously 1940s, especially with that headband.

Doubt if the Kate headband has hit Dundee Debenhams yet - pity!

@FogCutter I don't know what Mr Ballbreaker does but he appears to know a lot of slebs!

I voted for the green Catherine Walker worn in Sweden.

I like Leo for M&H’s baby. Queen Victoria had a son called Leopold. Although Leopold of Belguim was one of the most evil men in history and I hope there’s no connection with the British Royals....

For girls I’m stumped. Vivienne?

@queen, mr ballbreaker makes biscuits, apparently.
I think the family has been making them for about 400 years, hence the wedge.
Fergie lookedgreat; some serious boobage in that dress. I would wear that, minus the gold embroidery to match the furniture.
I do however suspect she received a fee and expenses to attend.

Ida, he was Queen Victoria ‘s cousin - and Albert’s - his father, Leopold I, was a big influence on the young Vic and acted as matchmaker for her and Albert - he had been married to George IV’s daughter Charlotte (who died young) so had envisaged himself as more or less on the British throne. Sounds like a Lord Mountbatten sort of figure.

Anyway, Evil Leopold was his son by wife no 2.

I wonder would H&M call a boy John - Prince John was a brother of George VI and the Duke of Windsor, suffered from epilepsy and maybe autism and was sent to live in a cottage on the Sandringham estate, cared for by a governess, until his death at age 13 in 1919.

This is terribly sad.

Harry’s paternal grandfather was Johnnie Spencer.
H&M don’t need a princely name. Let’s face it, even with Louis there was not a lot of choice ( Albert & Arthur being the other contenders I think)
They could just go “posh”
Hugo, Sébastien, Alexander, etc
