Love Queen Mathilde’s dress, not so much the massive headband.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/02/2020 11:18

I would say if it's got to the point where Mathilde is wearing headbands then they're on their way out!

Matthew Goode Is way sexier than lord Snowdon

Oh wow I didn’t know that Walton street belonged to Earl of Harrington , the whole street ? Or just the commercial bit anyways that’s quite some prime property to own!

BigGreenOlives · 18/02/2020 14:05

& masses of South Ken & a lovely estate in Wiltshire plus I don’t know what.

Hello magazine have got a little feature on the York Tiara - it's a beautiful piece (focus on that and not the dresses! Grin)

Apparently it hasn't been worn in public since 2001 - I wonder if Bea will dust it off for her wedding?

Those dresses of Fergie’s are SO eighties... that pink one! With the gloves! Awful!

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/02/2020 15:05

They are, but the top half of the first one can probably still be seen on many a bride.

A DM article about PA's fashion choices through the years. I was quite taken by how much Anne at 17 in 1967 looks like Lady Louise today at 16 - never really noticed before

I'm sure there's many a woman in her 70s who'd love to know Anne's secret of being the same size she was at 30!

I bet PA still has those coats and probably still wears them (but perhaps not the hats)

Apparently Lord Snowdon made a tiara from wood for his (now going to be ex) wife. It’s very pretty.

AngelaScandal · 18/02/2020 19:10

Serena has the hair for tiaras

AdaColeman · 18/02/2020 19:32

The wooden tiara is sweet, but I think I prefer the Poltimore tiara! Wink

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 18/02/2020 19:46

Wow the workmanship in the wooden tiara is stunning.

Queen yes I too would love to know Anne's secret. Can you just imagine 'The Anne Effect' dvds,website,food & lifestyle plans. One could make millions Smile

SenecaFallsRedux · 18/02/2020 19:58

I do like that wooden tiara; it's beautifully executed and very unexpected.

  1. Have a chef
  2. Have access to organic foods
  3. Have access to personal trainers, equipment, horses etc
  4. Have unlimited time.
  5. No commute and 8 hours behind a desk.

I wonder if Fergie has flogged the York tiara?

MotherofPearl · 18/02/2020 21:12

I really don't even know what to say about this hat from Max. Extraordinary.

The style of the dress is okay but I'm not a fan of that Elastoplast colour.

It looks like she's wearing a hen on her head! I have an aversion to chickens so that hat makes me feel slightly sick Confused

I doubt Princess Anne has a personal trainer. I think she is naturally very active and spends lots of time outside.

MotherofPearl · 18/02/2020 21:57

It does rather look like an item of poultry taxidermy now that you mention it @QueenOfTheAndals...

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 18/02/2020 22:15

That hat .... is ... odd...

I doubt PA has to work at her figure. She could be a woman that is just naturally slim as a cousin who is a bit older than her. She’s never put weight in spite of eating like a horse. She’s just on her feet most of the day & doesn’t snack but eats regular meals.

paradyning · 18/02/2020 22:24

I kind of like it. Ish. I like the dress.
Wax is looking mighty dapper too.
