Royal style & gossip: Breton stripes and skinny jeans...

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread. I think we'll be a bit short of royal outfits as they're all off on their holidays atm. But Kate's regatta is coming up next week, hence the thread title!

Same rules as always - keep it light, critique the clothes rather than the women, and don't believe anything printed in the Daily Mail

Martha Louise and the Shaman at a gala

On a fashion-related note I think she looks great! Not everyone could get away with that dress but she carries it off with aplomb.

I can't think what could have led Tussaud's to decide it was a good idea to separate out a mixed-race woman out from the rest of the Royal Family in its exhibits.

“ I also really hate how right wingers use "woke" to refer to caring about the environment, women's rights and racism.”

I agree. Extraordinary that woke, liberal, do gooder and so on are insults. As if being an unaware, illiberal do badder was a good thing to be!

I can’t imagine,@Tonnerre. Maybe she didn’t quite match?

Nice frock on Märtha Louise; she looks good for 47

I agree. Extraordinary that woke, liberal, do gooder and so on are insults. As if being an unaware, illiberal do badder was a good thing to be!

This!

That word "Woke" offends my sensibilities. How do you insert it into a sentence and be grammatically correct. I really hate to hear it.

People who use the word “woke” don’t care about grammar. They probably also use comic sans.

Well Fergie bailed now Andrew. I wonder what Meghan makes of the family now with the Epstein storm. I think it is a good job that she is a hustler and has worked her way up through the acting world, she may be the only person who understands how it all works, how airline Andy and his ex. managed to drag the family down and how to minimise the damage. I have my doubts that the established british PR employees they have know how to handle this.

I like Meghan I do but the idea she has more PR experience/know how than the best the royal family can buy in the UK is surely nonsense.

She was a moderately successful actress, activist and enjoyed playing around on social media before she married Harry. Those aren’t insults it’s a fine career profile many would be envious of, but let’s not overstate it.

Oh MM would have known about Epstein and other bottom feeders you need to keep your wits about you to survive. I worked on a few Hollywood films the reality is pretty grim.

PA would be wise to seek legal advice rather than sitting around with ma and pa for a few weeks.

I do love a tiara

And that's a beauty. Just my colour...

Is that from the V&A @Rhubarbisevil? I think I've seen it or something similar there.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that Tiara at KP.

Yes it’s Victoria’s Emerald tiara
Also on display is the fabulous Fife tiara.
Apparently cèdes to the Government in lieu of £1.4 million in death duties.

Yup!! It’s on show at KP and was designed by Prince Albert.

Did you go to the Victoria exhibit @Rhubarbisevil? Any good? I've got membership so will try and get there soon.

Now THIS is a tiara!!

The tiara photo is ages old. I took it when I went to see the Diana exhibition in February. Please go back to KP and appraise is of the new exhibition queen-!!

@Rhubarbisevil
That’s practically a diamond hat

I’m pretty sure there is an exhibition of Victoria’s jewels at the V&A.

Who in the end went to see the Dior exhibition? I think it ends September 1st

Silvia looks so much like Sofia there - paging Dr Freud!

I don't think I'll get to Dior now The only tickets available are at 8am, plus I've got stuff planned for every weekend this month.

@justasking111 - how are the films grim? Not questioning what you say btw just being nosy.

The bakery featured in Vogue made Meghan a birthday cake the other week. They're not too far from me and I'll need a wedding cake next year. Perhaps I'll pay a visit!

Amazing cake Queen! You could even pretend it's healthy with those lovely orange slices on top 😊.

I also want to hear more from @justasking111 about these Hollywood bottom feeders. I suspect MM had to be very strong not to succumb to the casting couch promises.
