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!

May I slide in? I’ve been a lurker on all your threads and I love the chat and friendly gossip!

Thanks for the new thread.

Just found this antique tiara on the Humphrey & Butler website. Price guide is £50,000+

It'll do nicely for popping into Waitrose.

Lovely photo- it has the air of photoshop about it though?

paradyning · 11/01/2020 19:35

Hard to believe she's just a teenager in that photo

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/01/2020 19:38

The only photo I can see is of HM and I thought @paradyning was taking the piss with her comment!

She's ageing well Queen but not that well!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/01/2020 19:41

Queen 😂

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/01/2020 19:44

Hi QueenifLouisiana & welcome to the thread & do you mind if we call you Lou?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/01/2020 19:44

Ooh the plot thickens paradyning!

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/01/2020 19:46

Welcome @QueenofLouisiana - you'll be the third queen on this thread! Unless HM herself is a lurker too, then you're the fourth!

According to the blurb it was 'Taken in 1980 by Lord Snowdon, shortly before her engagement and wedding the following year, this portrait of Lady Diana Spencer was shot for Vogue magazine.' so photoshop seems unlikely.

Mind you, I don't know how to access the Lord Snowden's or Vogue's archives so I'm not going to check up on their claims 😬

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/01/2020 20:08

I have seen that photo of Diana before. Not sure about that helmet hair. And if she looks like a teen it's because she was!

I quite like it, Queen. It's pleasantly androgynous and there aren't many women with short hair these days

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 11/01/2020 20:20

Lovely picture of Charlene nearly smiling here. She has a great shoulder to waist ratio. Did someone say she was a pro swimmer?

I'm sorry, I'll stop spamming the tread now Crown Grin

banivani · 11/01/2020 20:35

Did we have this pic of CPH and CPMM up before - their Halloween costume? www.instagram.com/p/B4SnvCJBxAC/

I am in love with the Norwegian for trick or treat but only other Swedes will laugh Grin

paradyning · 11/01/2020 20:37

Think it was posted before but definitely worth a repeat! They look so good!

AppleKatie · 11/01/2020 20:45

Sorry I meant photoshop of the one of HM above not Diana. Although still orf with my head I guess.

paradyning · 11/01/2020 21:13

This must be the 'news' that Phil Dampier was referring to

And just to balance things. Here's a pic of the The Heathcote Tiara
It's a beauty.

And if there was ever a time where the tiara wore the wearer it's poor old Melissa Percy

Funny how Camilla can get away with huge ones. Must be the hair

How do they KNOW?!

Do we think Charles will get the full mink treatment when he ascends? This is the coronation of Queen Maud and (another) King Haakon of Norway in 1906.

I looked at Phil's twitter account. He claims to be a journalist but I think he's just a bloke with a blog!

Anyway I guess it's no surprise that they're meeting to thrash things out but let's leave the speculation to the other H&M threads.
