Royal Style without our Queen ( of the Andals )

[LadyEloise]

Sadly QueenoftheAndals has decided to bow out and not create any more Royal Style and Beauty threads
I'm really hoping she'll reconsider.
Are any of the regular posters interested in continuing her great work ?

With those Irish tour outfits I'm going to pick the black spotty blouse with black trousers combo. I agree!

Romaine, with your name you surely have to love the lettuce dress! Haha, good one

Seeing all the Ireland looks together reminds me how boring that tour was style wise the colour choice the style of dresses it was just meh! My favourite would have to be the top right two (the sporty blouse and the white coat) The purple dress was ok but I'm not a fan of the neckline.

Nice to see the Queen today and Kate has moved the laptop for her latest video so that's a treat for everyone who was bored of seeing the same wall at Anmer!

That's funny, I've never had my own special dress before!

I just don't "get" the heavy eyebrow love.

I think they're perfect as they naturally are. Interestingly, she looks more like James with the thicker brows.

I don't get the heavy eyebrow love either. It's an odd trend.

Best India/Bhutan tour outfits?
I think these are all the looks.
The one without the number is Tory Burch (99% sure), that's DOC's new private secretary in the photo.

My favourites are 1, 5 and 6

I also like 9. Kate looks great in red.

1,2,3 & 6 from the India tour. 🙂

Another great collage thisenglishlife.

Not many from that tour that I don't like. I love #7 and #9 as I think Kate really suits the colour and the styles are a little different. #5 is also beautiful and I like #1.

I'm struggling to believe that tour was in 2016. I think Kate looks a lot younger in those photos. The enthusiasm and engaging manner that she always has on these trips shines though.

Thank you English for all the collages.
My favourite India outfits are 1, 6 & 8.

Yes thanks English, I love your collages.

The India/Bhutan tour was a real clothes highlight for the DoC I think. I love all the outfits. I thought she really suited 2. I love 7, the Tony Burch. And I even love the two Wicksteads - 4 and 16. She really nailed it on that tour.

Good evening ladies. My google understands my love of Royal fashion and throws up interesting suggestions for me...

I feel we need this magazine over here.

I like the two Tory Burch's, but the patterns are a bit busy. Kate looks fantastic in cobalt/electric blue* and bright colours in general.

Actually, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who doesn't look good in cobalt.

Kate does always look so energised and enthusiastic on her "work" trips. She makes a great effort, a real trooper.
That's why I was hoping there was no truth in those rumours. PW would be mad to lose her.

Jealous rage, secret crush, biggest shock? 😂

I agree Eloise. She is a real asset to the RF. I do think William realises this. I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that he feels ambivalent about being King but feels he can face it because he has her help.

Back to fashion. Here is Leti in a Massimo Dutti dress, looking very svelte and stylish I think (pity about the mask but obviously essential). One shot minus the mask. Love her shoes.

Leti looks great, a fabulous dress.

Bhutan our hiking outfit details. Kate has had the boots for years!

halfway up that steep hike to the Tiger’s Nest monastery, Kate brought her stylist Natasha Archer (pictured), 29, with her to touch up her hair and make-up before facing the cameras. Those “natural pictures” of her looking fresh-faced, despite strenuous exercise, were anything but. (linked below)
Part of the secret of looking good after a three hour hike? (Years earlier), Charles famously never finished the hike and did a watercolour part way through instead.

On reading up on the tour, I was surprised to see these two b*itchy articles:
www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/1132524/wills-and-kates-royal-tour-of-india-and-bhutan-more-like-270k-private-hol-and-you-footed-the-bill/

www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/news/royal/661454/royal-travel-tour-Bhutan-India-Prince-William-Kate-Middleton/amp

That's a great dress for Leti. The sort of thing that if I found a dress that I looked like that in I would buy it in several colours.

Even at nearly £500 those Penelope Chilvers boots don't owe Kate anything - she's worn them such a lot. I have a pair of Dubarry boots and whilst I had to take a very deep breath when I paid for them I'd replace them tomorrow!

Kate's Chilvers boots have worked out to less than £28 a year.
I've heard good things about Dubarry boots, they're cheaper than the Chilvers as well, aren't they?

I have some Penelope Chilvers boots and they are very comfortable. Also, they have. 50% off sale, if anyone is interested.

Today would have been Trooping the Colour. For me, the hats are always a highlight, Kate has worn some lovely ones over the years.

Later this month, Charles & Camilla will return to London for a reception with Macron, to commemorate de Gaulle's great speech.

Ooh, Trooping the Colour - maybe @thisenglishlife can do one of her excellent collages of the Duchess of Cambridge's hats over the past few years? Please? 🙂

Will do!
