Mar & Fre - CPM when she’s with her husband, Frederik of Denmark
SWFM - (Single White Female) Marie of Denmark, on account of resembling several other royal women!
HH&MM - (Hottie) Haakon and Mette-Marit of Norway
SFF - (Silver Fox) Felipe of Spain

I think that’s all of them??

I like Fergie’s shoes and I actually have a pair (which I bought in 2010 )

Marina Ogilvy’s daughter Zenouska today. I quite like the red dress and hat though not sure about the shoes. I don’t know who the lady in pink is - maybe her cousin?

Flora Ogilvy?

I think you are right - Flora Ogilvy.

Frederick Windsor spent years falling out of every posh and not-so-posh nightclub he could get into, having partaken liberally of everything he could get his hands on inside, so it's no great surprise that he does not look the healthiest.

Depending on how involved Kate is with the actual construction of her Chelsea garden, she might be occupied with that?

Although I reckon she actually wanted to stay at home and watch Eurovision in peace, with a box of wine

(I may have given away my plans for this evening here )

Yes her first cousin Flora, daughter of James Ogilvy.

Yellow shoes with a red dress? What in God's name...

I didn’t think about Kate not going because she would have to curtesy to all the blood princesses ( Anne, Alexandra and Beatrice)
Maybe she’s just at home with the kids as William was out.

Likewise, Sophie. Maybe Lady Louise is starting her gcse’s On Monday.

Oh I liked the yellow accessories.!

Apologies if someone has already posted this - thread's been busy today - but I think Sarah Chatto looks good.

Photo caught her at a slightly unflattering moment - mid-speech maybe - but I really like her skirt, cardi and general look. She knows what suits her and sticks to it.

Prince Philip looks on really good form!
Fergie is well back in the fold. I think the York’s really rehabilitated themselves over Eugenie’s wedding. Andrew seems to have a higher profile now.

I think there are generally a lot of Sarah Chatto fans on the thread.

Sarah always goes for that 50s shape, but I don’t like the colours. It’s good to see her though, thanks for posting.

Lovely post from Eugenie
She is such a sweetie.
I’m hoping she didn’t come because she is noticeably pregnant; didn’t want to upstage the bride and will have an announcement of her own soon!

Maybe kate had to mind Pippa's baby ....

“Maybe kate had to mind Pippa's baby ....“

No-she’s whipping up a lasagna to take round to Meghan.....

Lol, since Pippa already has a Nanny when she went to Mustique with the family shortly after the birth, I doubt babysitting is a problem.

Why would kate have to curtsy to the blood princess 's if william was not there ?

Just loved this colour on HM. Sort of Watermelon.
Also paisley brooch is so pretty.

Maybe Kate didn’t go because her children weren’t invited.

bizzey because when she's with William she takes his rank but when on her own she goes right down the pecking order and has to curtsey to loads of them.

Zenouska is a lovely name

Ooh there could be an entire AIBU there @UrsulaPandress!

True.
