Ok, I have tracked it down from Kate’s Roksanda Ilic dress.

Perhaps Anne will get some rugby in.

Seeing those photos are so sad actually - they all look so happy. Wonder how / where / why it's all gone wrong?

@Lunde - change the colour to green and it's the American hospital-issue backless maternity gown I wore five times. I really want to know if that robe on Charlene is backless, held together by a few ties.

Those photos are very sad. Everything totally changed in such a short time.

Meghan will be at the Albert Hall tonight, attending the opening of the One Young World summit. She's been involved with the charity for a number of years.

Photos from the Japanese enthronement .
Proper court dress.
I’m looking forward to some official photos so I can have a proper gander at the frocks.
Mary & Max look fab.
Letizia is continuing with her explosion in a paint factory theme.

Are Mary and Max vying for a "who wore it best?" spot? #awkward

Letizia looks bloody awful! (Never thought I'd say that!)

StartupRepair · 22/10/2019 07:44

Was the dress code outrageous head gear?

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/10/2019 07:50

That flower hat is too much, even for Max! I like Mary's dress but not sure that colour is great on her.

Some footage of the enthronement. It seems curious having such an ancient ceremony in what looks like a modern and very dull office building! There's a banquet this evening so more fashion moments to come.

Some better photos of the enthronement
I think CPVictoria looks magnificent

I guess court dress is a full length gown and some kind of head covering.
I love the outfits even if they are a bit OTT.
They look like Edwardian gowns

jillandhersprite · 22/10/2019 08:10

ooh love the enthronement photos - not because the dresses are spectacular but virtually all our faves are there...
Max looks like she's in a historical period drama
Leti missed the memo on crazy head gear so did a crazy dress
Mary and Mathilde are spitting feathers that they chose the same dress
But they can all have a good chat and bitch about having to attend a an event they can't say no to - wonder if they all get pissed later or is it all very prim and proper all night...

hopeishere · 22/10/2019 08:29

Leti once again looking as hard as nails!!

PC is very florid!!

I was disappointed with the last ceremony where the Emperor stood down as you say it looked like it was happening in a school gym!

BertrandRussell · 22/10/2019 08:34

I do wish PC would give his sons his tailor’s number! #Imayhavesaidthisbefore

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/10/2019 08:43

I know HM was a young mum but Charles only looks about 10 rather than 20 years younger than her these days!

LenoVintura · 22/10/2019 08:44

I can't stop watching that ceremony! It's like, here's a fancy box. What's inside? Look, a little Emperor! And here's a little Empress!
Showed it all to DH who said "what's wrong with Charlie? He doesn't look well" Confused.

latedecember1963 · 22/10/2019 09:07

Does Leti's dress have chrysanthamums on it? I think they symbolise regeneration and longevity in Japanese culture so perhaps her dress is a way to represent the start of a new reign for the emperor.

peridito · 22/10/2019 09:25

ooh I think you're on to something there latedecember

Lunde · 22/10/2019 09:59

Some more informal photos in Svenska Damtidning - mostly featuring the Scandi royals

The Bhutanese royals are also there. Queen Jetsun is so beautiful, and the king isn't too bad either! CPV looks great. She doesn't always do great daywear but excels at gowns.

Here's the guest list for the enthronement.

The guest list seems to have missed the fact that the King of Sweden is attending with CPV

WineOrGinOrBoth · 22/10/2019 10:25

The Bhutanese royals are certainly very good looking

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/10/2019 10:26

As usual, the Japanese royal women look like characters from an E.M Forster adaptation.

My first contribution!! Kate meeting some teenagers at Kensington Palace. I like the dress but I am not stylish. I can imagine wearing it to work 😳.
