Royal style: the Sussexes in Africa - it's gonna take a lot to drag us away from them...

Tour itinerary

As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

It was the start 'As a mother I know how a mother feels'. Such an odd turn of phrase when talking about your daughter.

I read that and my immediate thought was that she’d just accidentally outed Bea’s pregnancy!

Blimey- 600 quid and not matching the pattern??? I’d do better than that!

Wow @thisenglishlife your friend is very invested!

I have to say Kate always looks so genuinely happy and engaged. Yes I realise she doesn’t have much to be unhappy about, but I do think she relishes life and meeting people and her family

Sophie had some adjustments made to her wedding tiara I think (it look different the last time we saw it). So if fergie finds that pawn ticket it's possible Beatrice could wear the York tiara with some tweaks?

I agree I think we will be looking at a full royal wedding if Beatrice wants that. But I hope it will be either a wedding in Italy or like Zara or Lady Gabriella we see arrivals and more importantly outfits! But not a full on public occasion.

Beatrice has always seemed more private than Eugenie so it maybe she wouldn't want a public wedding.

Fergie has probably spent the day searching frantically for the pawn ticket for the York tiara! wink wink

Teehee. That would not surprise me.

@StCharlotte now that you mention it, I agree re the diamond!

Thank you @Notheresa you have given me a new word. I'm going to have to shoehorn oleaginous into some conversation tomorrow. Also, yes he so is. Something not quite trustworthy about him, hope I'm wrong.

Awesome tiaras there @JaimeBronde

I had to google oleaginous there @NoTheresa

Note the sign behind Harry

I like the one behind the people who are opposite and listening to Harry!

We don't often see the back of the DoC's coat dresses. While I'm not a fan of the colour I quite like this one.

Quite the busy week for the BRF.
Highlight was Archie; he is adorable and a mini Harry.
Impressed by all the Meghan rewears. She appears to have her Tour Capsule wardrobe down to a tee. She’s sticking to her palette; apart from her go to b&w, it’s a bit drab for my taste, but she knows her comfort zone. Black jumpsuit and gold filigree earrings was her best look. Also denim jacket, white shirt, and jeans. I liked the khakhi canvas tote; good alternative to leather.

Kate today, impeccable as usual. We’ll be seeing those coat dresses on her in 30 years. They may not be high fashion; but that’s the point. She’s dressing as a future historical figure. Her look may be boring to some but it will never date.

Finally, congrats to Beatrice. She can’t help who her father is, and she is entitled to be happy. No one but Edoardo and his ex will know the truth of their relationship. He’s a handsome young man and they look well suited and very happy.
I posted a few weeks ago about Fergie looking at wedding venues in Italy.
A spring wedding in Italy will be infinitely more glamorous than St. George’s Chapel. Again. I’m hoping for a Valentino Gown. I think the Queen will lend Beatrice a tiara and Fergie will wear the York Tiara, because European Royal weddings are full length gown and white tie affairs.

Are you teasing the idea of multiple tiaras?? That would be the winning option for me!

My only doubt about a wedding in Italy is when was the last time the Queen and Prince Phillip went abroad? It feels like it was at least 2 maybe 3 years ago?

I know Italy isn't far and obviously they have the luxury's the rest of us don't but at their age it might be they don't feel able to travel that far? That might make Beatrice pick a uk wedding🤷🏻‍♀️

Why are the pockets absolutely huge?
The pleat detail at the back is nice.

You've been MIA @CurlyWurlyTwirly!

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing: where is Curly?

I don't think it will be like a European Royal wedding. It will either be like Mischa Nonoo with wall to wall celebrities or a re run of Eugenie's. I would think they would choose Windsor to enable the Queen and Philip to attend.
Feel a bit sorry for Edo's baby being brought up by the nanny. If Edo is running a property empire and a full glittering social life with Bea he can't do a lot of hands on parenting.

Beatrice’s other engagement dress

Unfortunately it was photographed in b&w, but the colour and cut are perfect for her.
I thought her Zimmerman dress was pretty, but the lack of print matching was a shame.

Not much difference between the two tbh, who knew Euj was on such friendly terms with Demi Moore and Ricky Martin??

I think the only difference between the 2 was at least we got to see what everyone was wearing at Eugenie's!

Bea is good friends with Karlie Kloss so I presume Karlie will bring her husband Josh Kushner with her.
So does this mean Ivanka & Jared Kushner will angle for an invite as they are 'family' & would go to an opening of any royal/A-listers envelope?
I also presume the Williams' will be there too & will Teddy be a bridesmaid again?

I like Bea's ring

Note the sign behind Harry

I like the one behind the people who are opposite and listening to Harry! @Aragog that's what I meant to draw attention to - typing too fast. 'Archie's Dad' / 'Meghan's husband' must be rather lovely for Harry, rather than just Harry, former lone prince.

Fab post, @CurlyWurlyTwirly. Good to see you back!

At the Harry sign. I think that’s sweet. He seems to be relishing being a daddy so I’m sure it went down well 😊

That dress of Sophie’s - did Meghan wear something similar before they married? The pattern looks familiar?

I know the dress you're thinking of @Spudlet, Meghan's was similar but Kate has exactly the same one.
