Previous thread

What neon shade will HM wear? Will the DoE attend? Will Kate have a new coat dress? Will Meghan make an appearance? And which of us will be able to identify every random Windsor on the balcony?

All will be revealed tomorrow...

Zenouska Mowatt looks good, I like the bold coloured accessories. The less said about Flora Ogilvy's outfit the better.

Blimey, that was not a good choice.

Zenouska Mowatt looked so much nicer, though I would have gone with either shoes or hat for a colourful accessory, not both. Her dress was sort of lost with all those 'pops of colour'.

I can see you Whatif but without explanation I wasn't sure sure what you were saying as googling that just brings up loads of news articles

Grinchly · 08/06/2019 20:02

Meghan looks just like her Mother.
Kate and the D of C lovely
The older boy looks like Mr Middleton, ditto the younger, tho something different about him, maybe just the squirming around.
The girl is the spit of HMQ - totally Hanoverian.

Horsemad · 08/06/2019 20:07

Edward should have accompanied HM & escorted her on Horse Guards for the parade, seeing as her other children were on horseback.

UrsulaPandress · 08/06/2019 20:12

The Queen looks so tiny.

Redhanger · 08/06/2019 20:13

Seems odd not to use their names? Surely you know them?

‘The girl’

MoonstoneMagic · 08/06/2019 20:21

I think George looks like the Queen’s father and Charlotte like HM. Louis is totally his own little person.

GoFiguire · 08/06/2019 20:22

Well, we say “The Queen” rather then Elizabeth.

QueenOfTheAndals · 08/06/2019 20:31

George is the image of Pa Middleton, Charlotte is very like William (I think it'd get noticed more if she was a boy) and Louis is a mixture of the two.

Lady Louise's hair looks lovely, simple, young and beautiful. I think that vivid colours suit Kate but as the Queen tends to wear vivid colours, Kate probably conciously chooses lighter colours. The Queen needs to stand out. Meghan's eyes look like mine at the moment - suffering with hayfever! Straight away I thought hayfever when I saw the pictures!! It may also have simply been her squinting in the sun. On the shady balcony her eyes looked more like they normally do. She also appears to be wearing very good concealer!! Previously she probably didn't need to!

What none of us have mentioned (or maybe we have and I missed it - I've been out most of the day!) is what a subdued colour HM sported. No neon brights for her today. Camilla stood out more on the balcony in her apple green coat.

I've been looking for clips on twitter and IG and boy are there some right nutters out there. The hyperbole! 1200 years? Has she never read any British history in her life?

Blimey. Meghan is right up there with Anne Boleyn, heh? GrinGrin

hoteltango · 08/06/2019 20:48

Queen I also thought HM's choice of colour was a bit strange. As a PP said, she almost blended in with the colour of the carriage seating.

UrsulaPandress · 08/06/2019 20:50

Compared with the neon line green it was positively, erm, beige.

UrsulaPandress · 08/06/2019 20:50

Lime.

Edward should have accompanied HM & escorted her on Horse Guards for the parade, seeing as her other children were on horseback.

I'm not sure he can someone may well correct me on this but I think that only colonel's of certain regiments are allowed to ride on horse back for trooping. I don't think either Harry or Edward are.

itswinetime · 08/06/2019 21:15

A who everyone was wearing guide from one of the Instagram pages I think the page is mainly Kate based hence the more detail on her outfit.

I love reading about the jewellery

SunshineCake · 08/06/2019 21:28

Ah, I missed it but thank you @Horsemad.

MotherofPearl · 08/06/2019 21:35

Just catching up on it all. I think DoC and DoS both looked great. I agree that DoS looked a little tired but around the eyes but that's to be expected with a 5 week old. Some of the comments about her have been really unkind I think.

Prince Louis stole the show - that pout and those chubby arms waving frantically! Smile

TokyoSushi · 08/06/2019 21:59

They all looked fab today, lovely pictures!

frugalkitty · 08/06/2019 22:05

I thought Meghan looked fab today, apart from the hat.....I much prefer her in navy than black. Liked Kate in lemon, and I really liked the Queen's muted outfit too, I thought the softness of it really suited her.

Looking forward to a pic of Meghan's new ring (if it is a new ring), I always notice rings on other people, I'm a bit of a magpie. I don't have the hands to wear three rings on one finger so I'm quite envious of people with long fingers who can Grin

SenecaFalls · 08/06/2019 22:10

I agree that maybe Edward could have ridden in the carriage with HM.
