Royal style: forget all your stresses as we talk royal dresses

Previous thread

Now. A request. Can we please keep this to critiquing the clothes rather than the wearer?

So if you want to talk about what Meghan's wearing then fine, go ahead. I'm not even saying you have to like everything she wears. This applies to all royal women - if you don't like an outfit then do feel free to say so.

But if you want to talk about "Megxit" then please go to one of the many many other MN threads about it and leave us to our clothes chatter!

Wow - that portrait of Margarethe is stunning. Imagine looking like that at 80?!? She looks fab - not in a 'Joan Collins/Jane Fonda' "lots of work" kind of way - just really attractive and natural.

Thank you Itswinetime and Curly for posting pics,I wouldn't have known what you were talking about without them .

I think the cakes and whole display is ace .Great skill to produce !

The picture of Meghan on the left is a really good formal look for her (navy dress, white coat). She absolutely nailed it that day.

I love the red cross body bag with red dress - Kate pictured with Louis.

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/01/2020 20:16

That photo of William pointing at the cupcakes is pure Charles!

The Cambridges, the Wessexs and Anne are hosting a reception on behalf of HM on Monday, so that's at least three outfits we can look at

In Anne’s case; it will bean outfit also seen in the 80s and noughties!

This champagne cocktail called the Duchess of Cornwall popped up on my Twitter feed.

Sounds yum.
Irish Dingle Gin and elderflower liqueur topped up with Mumm Champagne and ice cubes made from Irish spring water infused with rosemary and orange

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/01/2020 22:15

Not sure I see Camilla as a champagne kind of gal really. More a brandy or stiff gin!

Haha ... Yes! @Curly. And an ill-fitting double-breasted number for Edward.

DevonUkelele · 16/01/2020 22:20

Oops! Bold fail 🤭

SenecaFalls · 16/01/2020 22:35

More a brandy or stiff gin!

Or a single malt whisky with the tiniest splash of water.

Rhubarbisevil · 16/01/2020 22:48

Won’t Harry still be in the U.K. next week? Asking for a friend.

NoGravyForYou · 16/01/2020 22:56

Yes @Rhubarbisevil, and there's speculation that he may attend on Monday night.

Rhubarbisevil · 16/01/2020 23:09

Ouch #awkward

I wonder what colour his sack cloth will be? (Keeping this about clothes ‘n’ all)

StartupRepair · 16/01/2020 23:09

Hope all the women bring their A game to the reception.

justasking111 · 16/01/2020 23:11

What is the reception in aid of?

justasking111 · 16/01/2020 23:16

Just looking at the court circular for the next couple of weeks. If it wasn`t for Anne and Sophie the royals would be in a bit of a pickle, they really are picking up the slack.

beanaseireann · 16/01/2020 23:39

Thank you Thisenglishlife

AngelaScandal · 16/01/2020 23:52

That pic of William pointing at the cupcake makes me wonder how he was ever an international heartthrob.

AngelaScandal · 16/01/2020 23:53

Dingle gin Gin is yum 😋

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/01/2020 07:31

Make up free Meghan

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/01/2020 07:43

@justasking111 Not all the royals are listed in the Court Circular. William and Kate never are and not were Harry and Meghan. They usually announce upcoming engagements on social media instead.
