Royal style: who needs an Indian summer when you can have a Pakistani autumn?

And the countdown to the Cambridge trip to Pakistan begins!

She was. And that tiara is just breathtaking. I loved Meghan’s too, and thought it suited her and her dress beautifully, but the emeralds really make the Greville tiara something special.

I saw the Warehouse top in store today. I didn’t like the fact that your bra straps would be showing so presume Kate went strapless. I did think about buying it but thought in the end it just wasn’t worth the £39. It was very flimsy and would probably wash horribly.

Gorgeous video 😍 I also quite liked KM's Erdem tweed number. Would also love to see her in more Chanel - one of my favourite outfits of hers was her Paris Chanel dress.

Yeah I liked the erdem tweed dress. But then I also liked the mustard dress, so...

Erdem is the fashion equivalent of Marmite

Love Eugenie's wedding video clip - so lovely. Also love Kate in Erdem.

Meghan has worn Erdem. The green tweed is AW19; she must have bought it straight off the catwalk.
Also the dress at the wedding in Jamaica was Erdem

I love the Erfdm tweed dress but dislike everything else by Erdem on Kate and Meghan.
"Emperor's new clothes" spring to mind.

The green tweed is lovely on Meghan but I'd have preferred it without the black embroidery.

That green tweed Erdem is quite nice on Meghan actually, and I like the black accent. Mostly can't stand Erdem and I'm baffled by the love.

Are W&K en route to Pakistan today?

Doesn't the tour officially start on Monday? So I'm guessing they would travel tomorrow....I wouldn't be surprised if they travel overnight so they don't miss a weekend at home...at least that's what I would do! Or I may have got the details confused it's all a bit vague so that's definitely possible to 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm surprised with the current troubles between Pakistan & India & the general political/social/religious/security issues in Pakistan, that the Foreign Office have allowed W&K to go there.
The security issues will be causing a monster headache & god forbid..........
(I've just finished a book on Archduke Franz Ferdinand so probably feeling a bit jumpy.)

They'll be fine (fingers crossed)

Making my place for the week ahead.

yy jamie. The security must be through the roof.

Yes, that's why details of their engagements are embargoed til the day they take place.

And they'll probably be on a need to know basis.
Looking forward to seeing the outfits!

Spanish National day.
Letizia’s dress is too Barbieish for my taste.
The princesses look gorgeous.
(Letizia giving HSP a bit of a flirty side eye)

Can't blame her though @CurlyWurlyTwirly!

I like that dress on leti.

The princesses look a bit staid.

I like that Leti dress too.

Not the shoes though - they've got that awful clear plastic thing going on.

Brief return to genealogy:

Queen Margrethe is a great great grandchild of Queen Victoria -

Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, third son of QV, had a daughter, Princess Margaret, who was the first wife of Gustav Adolf of Sweden. Their daughter, Ingrid, became Queen of Denmark (married to Frederick IX, Margrethe’s Father).

I quite like that dress on Leti.

I'm not wild about Leti's dress but it's quite a pretty colour. I agree with @DevonUkelele about the Perspex shoes.

I see this is going to be on More4 soon:

Is Mette-Marit wearing CPM's pie-crust jumper?!

Pie crust is not a forgiving look for those of us blessed in the nork department
