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!

I think Camilla is one of those women who have come into their looks later in life. A bit like Queen Mary who was never a beauty but could carry off the bling like no other.

(Mind you Mary was also rumoured to a kleptomaniac so perhaps she carried off bling in more ways than one!)

Loved the fact that Beatrice was at the wedding of Prince Franz Albrecht zu Oettingen-Spielberg and Cleopatra von Adelsheim in 2016. Fabulous names, eh!

Yes - try double-barrelling those!

Doesn’t Anne look like her mother in this photo?

(And she looks great in that shade of lilac)

déjà !

Is that really Kitty Spencer?

Yes Agree, Camilla looks better with lots and lots of jewels.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/01/2020 13:41

I don't think that's Kitty in that photo, its one of her sisters.

Kitty's on the right in this photo from William's wedding. That picture looks to be of the sister on the left.

James Middleton's fiancé, Alizee, is dressed very Kate Middleton-like here!

✔️ Le Chameau boots
✔️ Green jumper
✔️ Hat
✔️ Outdoorsy/country waistcoat

"Queen Mary .....kleptomaniac...perhaps she carried off bling in more ways than one !"
Oh QueenoftheAndals Grin

Thisenglishlife · 11/01/2020 13:52

Looks like young Kitty to me? It stated it was Kitty in the newspaper. Another young Kitty photo for comparison. If not, very similar looking!

Wow @Thisenglishlife she's unrecognisable! I think she's had lip fillers at the least since.

Maybe a bad photo?
They all look gorgeous in that photo from Kate and Will’s wedding.

Lady Kitty channeling her inner Diana in a funky suit. The suit, byzantine look and the rose outfit are all by Dolce & Gabbana.

Love that shearling jacket Kate is wearing in the pic. posted by Thisenglishlife. I've always fancied one. However, they are a little bulky (which is fine on her. I envy her shape!) but would sadly be a ... bulk too far on my already generous knorkage :(

RatherBeRiding · 11/01/2020 17:14

Kate and Wills wedding seems a long time ago now!

AppleKatie · 11/01/2020 17:27

It was a long time ago! Look at those slim plucked eyebrows for a start 😂

Wetdogloveshubert · 11/01/2020 17:58

We are really going to have to stage an intervention. This is Edward yesterday at a DofE conference. Can we get him together with HH and some other top dressers?

Thisenglishlife · 11/01/2020 18:08

That's not too bad for Edward!

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/01/2020 18:15

Sophie should ring the Queer Eye boys so they can stage a wardrobe intervention for Edward! He isn't bad-looking and is tall and slim - he just needs better suits and the phone number for William's barber.

Haha ... I came on to post Zara and Mike's Queensland races looks but I see it's old news.

I think they're spot on for the races in Queensland - Qld does things a bit "differently" 😉.

I quite like Zara's hat/fascinator but not the rest of it. As others have said, that dress isn't doing her any favours. I do approve of mike's three-piece do though.

AppleKatie · 11/01/2020 18:37

Edwards the ‘frugal royal’ winner - I don’t think he’s bought a new suit since the early 80s.

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 11/01/2020 18:46

Never seen this photo of Diana before. The hair and ruffles wouldn't look out of place today!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 11/01/2020 18:51

Gosh she looks so very young there. I remember her hair being very short, I don’t think it was for long. Love the ruffles.
