I love those pictures of CPV with the little girls. The palace staff seem to be enjoying it as well.

Or Sainsbury's uniform @WillowySnicket!

Yeah, not a fan of brown and orange.

I think many of her looks are dowdy. She does sterling work though which is not impacted by what she wears, so i feel mean to say so.

Laiste · 17/02/2020 14:06

Or is that dark red and orange? (no better)

MotherofPearl · 17/02/2020 17:34

I know what you mean @Laiste. She is hard working and seems to do a lot of good (plus she has a kind face).

Leti and SFF have been at a research awards ceremony. I really like her Cos dress, especially the neckline. If only Kate would try something like this. She is wearing those stiletto boots that I know divide opinion on here. I'm in the neutral camp.

The Daily Mail would have an actual collective stroke if Kate wore Leti's dress. They've only just got over the back view of Pippa's BM dress!

MotherofPearl · 17/02/2020 18:59

I know. But really it's a perfectly respectable wool dress, just with more contemporary styling.

Belgian royals at Mass. I think QM looks really great. She's gone for one of the enormous headbands but really carries it off. Her hair looks great - up, but not too scraped back and severe.

I very much like Leti’s arse dress. Is this a Cos dress I’ve missed because the styling on their website is awful and now it’s sold out? Grumble.

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/02/2020 19:50

It's quite figure-hugging for Cos, isn't it?

Phwoah @ Leti's bottom in that dress!

Kate would totally rock it, but I don't think we'll ever get the opportunity to see her in anything like that. Maybe for a private do, where she can be less queenly?

I like the boots - generally, and absolutely with that dress.

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 17/02/2020 20:05

I love Leti’s dress. I sadly do not have the figure or height to carry it off

AngelaScandal · 17/02/2020 20:13

That arse derrière!

chartreuse · 17/02/2020 20:13

I just saw a headline that the the Snowdons are divorcing. Sad for their children who are around mid teens now I think. I love her style, I always think she is the best dressed royal, though rarely seen.

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/02/2020 20:22

Goodness! They've been married over 20 years I should think?

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 17/02/2020 20:24

That’s sad. They’ve been married an awfully long time.

SunshineCake · 17/02/2020 20:27

So sad for the Queen as well as the Earl and Countess and their families.

chartreuse · 17/02/2020 20:27

They married in 1993, she is actually from Limerick, Lady Serena Stanhope. I think she worked for Vogue pre marriage.

Rhubarbisevil · 17/02/2020 20:36

They had a house in Petersham, near Richmond. Gosh, it’s like everyone is jumping ship...

Freeshavocado · 17/02/2020 20:39

I don't think I'd ever seen her wedding dress until now, it's different but I like it

The neckline is reminiscent of Princess Margaret's isn't it?

It was purposely designed to mimic PM's dress.

I didn't know she was Irish

Gooseysgirl · 17/02/2020 21:21

This one actually doesn't surprise me at all... I've thought for years that Serena hasn't looked happy and has kept quite a low profile. Honestly thought it was a matter of time before this would happen. I'm more surprised about Peter and Autumn.

beanaseireann · 17/02/2020 21:33

Isn't Serena a very wealthy heiress ?
Owns quite a bit of London.
I think her grandfather was living in Co. Limerick, Earl of Harrington.

Is that the Lotus Tiara I spy?
