They seem to routinely take the helicopter back to Anmer. But pricey. But maybe its just lying there idle.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/03/2019 13:43

Saw a program about Royal Spending the other day.
The helicopter is the most expensive of the travel budget; it’s about £2million pa.
The Queen uses to get between Windsor and BP.
Charles will definitely use it to get to HighGrove.
The Royal train is hideously expensive.
I bet it goes once the Queen is gone, but apparently she loves it.

The Royal Yacht was £10milluon a year.

I hate helicopters! I wouldn't have got in it... future queen or not Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 06/03/2019 13:46

@CurlyWurlyTwirly I meant the peacock print of the dress underneath.

Details of Kate’s outfit today
Sportamax coat.
We are yet to see the Michael Kors dress.
I guess the handbag is new, as she was using that olive green clutch for ages.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/03/2019 13:47

You’ve got good eyesight @queen.
I can’t see the dress at all.!

Rhubarbisevil · 06/03/2019 13:47

Ooh, that helicopter will be a bumpy ride on the way back.

QueenOfTheAndals · 06/03/2019 13:48

The dress she's wearing today

I've seen the handbag before - I think she was carrying it at a recent engagement. Maybe the trip to Dundee?

Was looking for something else but found this pic of the Queen of Belgium’s nephew.
Wedding was in Madrid in January 2017, but I just loved the little bridesmaids in mini hunter wellies. So cute!

He looks a bit too adult to be Mathilde's nephew! But maybe she has siblings who are much older than her.

I like that dress @Queen.
That is definitely now her go to shape with just a variation on fabric and neckline.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/03/2019 13:54

Letizia doing sexy again!
Red trouser suit; no blouse
Red snakeskin clutch.
What’s the betting on sky high red ( probably snakeskin) stilletoes to match?

Dowager Queen Fabiola!

Horsemad · 06/03/2019 13:55

£158.00 for POLYESTER?! 😲

QueenOfTheAndals · 06/03/2019 13:58

That was my thought too @Horsemad. I mean, it's not pricey by royal standards but it's certainly a lot to pay for polyester!

OP posts:
CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/03/2019 13:58

It’s the label Daaahling.
However I would never wear a sweaty polyester dress

Notmyrealname855 · 06/03/2019 14:00

Wouldn’t mind a cheap copy of Kate’s dress! Like the pattern

Letizia looking like an absolute boss Star She and Max have great style (Max’s dress and coat don’t really go, but just love her!)

Horsemad · 06/03/2019 14:02

Yep, the price is ok but I couldn't imagine wearing polyester!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/03/2019 14:02

Full picture of Letzia’s pantsuit.
Her legs look amazingly long in the trousers.
I wish Kate would wear something like this.
Pantsuit and a pussycat bow blouse and hair in a swishy ponytail would look fantastic on her.

Came on to say 'oh dear' to that ice blue horror, but love the green coat and boots, and Megan's blue blazer outfit. V nice, both.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 06/03/2019 14:06

This is the designer I was talking about the other day.
Kate could definitely do with wearing some stronger colours.

TheCraicDealer · 06/03/2019 14:14

FOUND- DoC-esque headbands for the princely sum of £13.99.

MN style and beauty: "Stop it Kate, you can't make headbands catch on. Give it up."
Kate: "Hold my beer."

Leti looks amazing in the red suit, as per usual. Hardly ever gets it wrong.
