Will we see any royals out and about anytime soon?

Yeah William could have done with a few acting lessons from megs Grin it was a nice touch though .

I read there was a socially distant cameraman Bling!

Thank you for the photos, Jjocobb. I quite like the blue dress too and the green dress but that harlequin dress is my all time least favourite dress she had ever worn.
I remember seeing it at the end of the news when they were doing a quick piece about an event she had attended. My dad, who was no fashionista, even commented on it.
I suppose it is of it's time, I know I wore some horrors but thought I looked fab at the time! 😊

But Blingloving if it showed their mansion in the country it would be a PR disaster. Smile

Hey guys!

I've been off of MN for a couple of months as I was sick to the back teeth of Corona posts so I've missed a few threads I think.

I'll dip in and out again now that it seems slightly less crazy around here Smile

Welcome back @AudacityofHope 👋

Do you mean the Sandro dress from garden UK tour (Hampton Court leg gig)?She was thinner than the children in it!

I liked that green dress. The Ghost one yesterday looked like a nightie and I can't believe it's sold out!

Leonor and Sofia of Spain have sent a message on YouTube to the children of Spain. They really could be twins!

The Sandro one was okay, minus the chest area.

These ones are bad, step away from the Erdem Kate.

When I linked to yesterday's Ghost dress, it wasnt sold out - did any of you gals buy it?Glances suspiciously 😂

I bought the replica Diana/Kate ring, for reasons unknown to myself.

I’m in such a minority on this one - I love the Erdem dresses.

Ninkanink · 24/04/2020 14:21

Ok love is maybe a little too strong...but I quite like them, and back in my skinny days I would have worn them.

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/04/2020 14:41

I liked the bottom left Erdem until it got to the ruffles. Top right isn't bad either. The other two I don't care for at all!

They all have odd hems, as if someone just decided to sew them on after making the dress.

Much prefer her Wimbledon style for summery looks.

Erdem Shock
Could the odd hems be due to weighting in the hem ?

FATEdestiny · 24/04/2020 19:07

I also have a Diana/Kate ring (and matching ear rings). It's just TKMAX bling tho Blush

I had a pair of sapphire earrings that were a similar design but one of them fell out of my ear one day and I lost it. I could've cried!

MotherofPearl · 24/04/2020 19:21

Those Wimbledon looks are all great, though I'm least keen on the powder blue one. I assume Wimbledon is cancelled this year, which is a pity because I think it's where Kate has showcased some of her best looks.

thisenglishlife · 24/04/2020 19:27

Beautiful ring @FATEdestiny

Oh no @QueenOfTheAndals
You need a pair of these (😂):

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/04/2020 19:50

Yes it's cancelled @MotherofPearl. I'm so annoyed as it was the first time I was organised enough to apply for the ballot and I was allocated tickets for the ladies' semi-finals ☹️

MotherofPearl · 24/04/2020 20:02

Oh no @QueenOfTheAndals, that is dreadful! How disappointing. I hope your wedding is still able to go ahead. It's so sad and frustrating seeing events big and small being cancelled or postponed indefinitely.

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/04/2020 20:39

No, we've decided to postpone to next summer. It's the uncertainty that's the worst - we can't really plan anything during lockdown and there's no guarantee that a particular florist or photographer will still be in business after all this.

OP posts:
MotherofPearl · 24/04/2020 21:32

Ah, that makes sense Queen, though not an easy decision I'm sure. Perhaps you'll coincide with Beatrice!

Rhubarbisevil · 24/04/2020 21:36

Oh Queen, this is not your year, is it? Will your centre court tickets valid for next year?

banivani · 24/04/2020 21:59

@QueenOfTheAndals you really are having bad luck :(

Rhubarbisevil · 24/04/2020 23:11

To change the subject completely, did you know that Autumn Phillips was Michael Parkinson’s former PA? Pub Quiz Question, clearly.
