QM - the Queen Mum
W&K - William and Kate
H&M - Harry and Meghan
C&C - Charles and Camilla
B&E - Beatrice and Eugenie

Some strange outfits at Gabriel's wedding.

DOC archive
I liked this nice classic Kate look from 2011 - at the airport before her first royal tour.

Outfit breakdown:
Smythe Duchess one button blazer
Roland Mouret Manon sleeveless dress
Manolo Blahnik Calogera court shoes
Mulberry Polly push lock handbag

Thedarklady agreed! Here is James Middleton and his girlfriend.

I agree re:Pippa. She looks lovely and I love the colour of her dress. I like her overall look but when I zoomed in closer on the dress I can’t say I’m a fan. Fussy/strange sleeves and and front.

TuppenceTwo · 18/05/2019 11:58

Prince Harry!

James's girlfriends dress is beautiful. Hat colour ok but dimensions look wrong.

TuppenceTwo · 18/05/2019 12:00

Mother and brother of the bride.

Sarah Ferguson and Beatrice.

The blue feathery coat is gorgeous! Love to see Princess Anne laughing!

UrsulaPandress · 18/05/2019 12:01

I agree. Love her dress but the hat is just off.

Pippa looks very boring.

Anne looks great.

TuppenceTwo · 18/05/2019 12:02

Lady Amelia Windsor

Beatrice has nailed it at bloody last is that her chap?

Fergie hmm bit crash test dummy with odd shoes.

BeverlyGoldberg · 18/05/2019 12:06

Delurking for this....

I've recently binged watched The Windsor's whilst being laid up sick. I can't look at any of the photos without giggling!

TuppenceTwo · 18/05/2019 12:06

Agree, I love Beatrice’s outfit! Yes that’s her boyfriend she’s with.

Quite like Fergie’s dress too but the shoes are not great.

chocolatecheesecake · 18/05/2019 12:12

Love Beatrice, pippa and JM girlfriend's (hat aside) outfits. But boggling at princess michael and lady Amelia Windsor. What were they thinking??

TSSDNCOP · 18/05/2019 12:13

The Groom looks very handsome. The fella that I'm assuming is BM is suspiciously like DH, luckily I know he's at Sainsbury or if he quite cheesed Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 12:13

Bless Fergie, she looks good! Not sure about all that sheer on Beatrice - on big occasions it always looks like she's trying too hard. Princess Anne is probably wearing something she's had for
30 years but the colours make me think she's about to start work as cabin crew for RyanAir! I quite like what James's girlfriend is wearing, it's unusual.

They all look very Victorian /Edwardian don’t they?
Amalia’s windsor dress is by a Turkish ddesigner called Gül hurgel, she makes lovely summery dresses. I own a couple , but this one is actually hedious on her , she is tiny and the puffed sleeves and Volume is too much for her frame and height,

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/05/2019 12:14

And Amelia got lost on her way to an 80s party!

HM looks smashing in pink. Is that the DOE?

AhoyDelBoy · 18/05/2019 12:21

DoE is getting out of the car behind HMQ

Thedarklady · 18/05/2019 12:23

A great colour on HM
Princess Anne looks like she is wearing an Edwardian influenced air stewardess uniform.
Sophie Winkleman's coat dress is odd - like two non matching puzzle pieces put together.

frugalkitty · 18/05/2019 12:24

Here comes the bride!

Sophie's coat looks like it's moulting.

Oh I recognise the tiara, I think I've seen photos of Queen Mary wearing it?
