Prince Harry has just arrived in Rome for the Sentebale polo match.
(Presume Jessica Mulroney is there at Frogmore to lend a hand whilst Harry is away).
Who’s nexton the friend’s rota. Serena Williams popping round with a lasagne? Grin

I wonder who sponsored Kate’s garden? Maybe she paid and gets to have all the elements transferred to Anmer?

DevonUkelele · 24/05/2019 13:43

I also would like to know where Sophie's garden party navy and floral frock is from. It's gorgeous ... anyone?

pinkladyapples · 24/05/2019 13:44

That is the best Edward has looked in a while. He should just dress like that every day Grin

I like Sophie's garden party dress and fascinator.

pinkladyapples · 24/05/2019 13:46

Just realised that photo is from Ascot. Still, both look great!

I imagine it can't be sponsored can it? Or is that another set of rules the media made up and I have brought into Wink. I know it wasn't eligible for any awards because of her involvement.

Agree Sophie seems lovely she just gets on with whatever is asked and seems very involved in her projects.

How hypocritical 🙄 Yes my bad asking posters to explain (or just pm) to whom they are so secretively and snidely referring. Let's make everyone who doesnt know feel shit for even asking?

A NHS mental health facility won a competition to have DoC's garden transferred there after the show closes. I think the competition was just open to NHS trusts.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 24/05/2019 14:12

According to this article the garden is going to an NHS mental health trust and was sponsored by M&G Investments.

Never mind Elllllle, we'll just have to track back! 😉

Just to be clear I wasn't just talking about today or anyone post the whole discussion was uncomfortable for me I avoided in the hopes the conversation would move on it didn't seem like it was so I said something it wasn't aimed at one just the general topic.

Lovely that the DoC garden will go to the nhs that's a great use for wouldylike to be the person risk accessing the rope swing though that didn't sound to healthy when William was on it

You only want to know out of nosiness! Sorry for, er, pointing out that it's not the most pleasant of motives.

Sophie’s dress was an Odette tea dress by Suzannah according to Hello

Sophie’s dress

I think I’ve been on these threads too long; it’s £895 and I thought “that’s quite reasonable”

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 24/05/2019 15:10

Her rhs dress was from there too

I though the same Grin.

queenofarles · 24/05/2019 15:14

Kate found her calling and seeing her talk about tackling mental health and the benefits of being in the outdoors , I’ve never seen her like this, she looks happy, proud , comfortable, she is in her element. Kudos to her.

What! It looks horrible,
The green one is marginally better , but no way worth £895, looks like a DVF dress

Laiste · 24/05/2019 15:51

queenofarles i have to agree. To be frank both of them look like fairly typical Bonmarche fodder to me.

AudacityOfHope · 24/05/2019 16:17

Haha that's brutal @Laiste Grin

You must have a better quality Bonmarche than me Wink. I quite like Sophie's style of late obviously not everyone is a fan though 😂

ElspethFlashman · 24/05/2019 16:20

At least Sophie rewears her dresses a lot.

Kate rewears one £1k frock thing twice in a decade and the DM jizz themselves about how "Thrifty Kate" is "recycling" her wardrobe.

Meanwhile Sophie is over there wearing her beloved beige Emilia Wickstead sacks over and over. We see you Sophie! 👍

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 24/05/2019 16:25

I liked Eugenie's frock! I thought the colour fade worked and it suits her colouring. Not quite sure about the silver grey shoes although I have no doubt they are fearfully expensive.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 24/05/2019 16:35

It’s not so much the style, just the price that I thought “that’s reasonable” after seeing a day outfit for eg 5 grand. iyswim...?

However I’m trying to gauge how bad of an insult “ that’s very Bon marché” is compared to “so Per Una”
Worse I think —because I would actually wear per una—
