Royal style & gossip: who'll wear the most Colour at the Trooping?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

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...

Apparently lady Fermoy denied it later in life @Wildorchidz. From interviews with Diana it seems Charles suddenly became fixated on her and she got swept up in it.

Somewhere in Cumbria at this very minute there’s a baffled sheep under a hair dryer......

I agree that she's tougher than she looks. Weren't we looking back just yesterday on her stamina in getting through that freezing flotilla fiasco from the Diamond Jubilee? I think she's got a fair bit of grit.

DoC I mean.

“Weren't we looking back just yesterday on her stamina in getting through that freezing flotilla fiasco from the Diamond Jubilee?“
HM and Phil got through that- more or less- not sure i’m going to give any kudos to a woman 60 years younger surviving it!

I loved Diana in her black sheep jumper , also the pink Aztec one , a homage to her jumpers here

I think it will be the skinny jeans, boots and tweedy jacket. Or jumper. Hair tied back. She'll never be more than a few minutes walk from a car. I don't think she'll be expected to cross the moors on foot

My in laws live in Norfolk.,...it's a whole different world!

Philip ended up in hospital after the Jubilee.

Didn’t she kind of have to get through the cold flotilla ride though? What else would she have done??

“Philip ended up in hospital after the Jubilee”
Well, yes. That’s why I said more or less! But DofC was 60 years younger- women her age stand for hours at Glastonbury....

Agreed Bertrand. I think if standing for hours in the cold at some point shows grit then we all have it.

“Agreed Bertrand. I think if standing for hours in the cold at some point shows grit then we all have it.”

Particularly if it happened to be our job!

I find it odd that there never seems to be any interaction between Harry and the Cambridge children. Charles seemed to be amused by Louis on the balcony but you never see any fondness between Harry and the children. Literally no interaction between the brothers for months now either, yet Harry clearly gets on well with Kate.

I wonder if we would have noticed the froideur between Harry and William if the press hadn't made us aware of a feud?

Found the perfect outfit for Kate's visit to Cumbria & it ticks all the boxes!
Literal ✔️
Streamlined & simple silhouette ✔️
Looks like a coat dress ✔️
Comes with matching headband ✔️
Timeless & classic ✔️

With 3 of the parties being dead the facts will never be known I suppose

Did anyone notice Meghan curtsied and Harry bowed to the Queen as she was leaving the balcony? Given they only do that the first time they see HM on any particular day, how was the balcony their first sighting of her? Does it suggest they weren’t inside with everyone else just beforehand but appeared from a different room in BP? Perhaps wherever Archie was being minded.

Maybe I’m overthinking it.

And matching handbag

escapade Yes, they weren’t on the balcony the first time so I’m wondering if they were with Archie until then. I also wondered if that’s why Meghan and Harry were turning around on the balcony video.

Tracy I initially just saw a white shift dress and thought ‘well that’s fine!’

@TracyBeakerSoYeah yep, definitely a classic...

I did notice that. Bit weird though, to meet for the first time on the balcony.

I think William did have an affair.
I think Harry is really annoyed that he did. William doesn't appreciate being told how he can behave and that is the real cause of the coolness between them.
Kate will put up with anything for her royal life and for the children. It wasn't an equal marriage and both of them know that.

That's my tuppence worth anyway.

Not Equal in what way?
