Royal Style without our Queen ( of the Andals )

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

Cams looks good in those pale shades. But I still think she needs a visit to Rigby & Peller.

thisenglishlife, I agree with your opinion of KM's hair colour.

Littlepurpleflower · 16/07/2020 07:01

I was watching an IG video and a clothes designer sounded exactly like KM. The accent must belong to a certain niche set (Home Counties, Marlborough, the way the family speaks) - niche, as in there is no one generic “posh” accent.

Here’s the link. The designer is the lady on the left. www.instagram.com/tv/CCpr_58lQXS/?igshid=190i5jetijf95

That's remarkable - they do sound so alike! I'm quite sure it's not the case, but the careful modulation does make them both sound strained. I bet I'd sound more than strained if I had to speak in public too, to be fair! By contrast, Meghan sounds incredibly confident.
Love Camilla's white outfit.
Don't like Meghan's straight hair extensions, they look a bit Demi Moore? She suits that colour of blue though.

Horsemad · 16/07/2020 11:02

I think Meghan really suits that shade of blue as well @Eaumyword.

Hello everyone. I missed these threads - glad I found you all again! 👸

Eaumyword · 16/07/2020 13:18

Hello! I retreat to here as my happy place when the Royal Family threads get too hairy!
No matter what I think of the RF (and I actively dislike a few of them!) I still enjoy looking at the fashion and beauty and jewels, oh my!

thisenglishlife · 16/07/2020 14:58

I think that Kate has had a dry/sore throat or some kind of illness during one or two of the videos and that's why she has sounded different.

LadyEloise · 16/07/2020 17:48

I went down the Daylesford rabbit hole* @Littlepurpleflower.*
A green summer dress Carole Bamford was wearing was fab.
Sadly it was over £300 !!
When it is safe to travel again I want to revisit the Cotswolds and pop in to Daylesford.

Hearing someone else talk like Kate is quite reassuring actually 😂

AppleKatie You are bold !!! ( an Irish expression for a child who is naughty or cheeky )

@LadyEloise. Daylesford and the Bamford Spa are absolutely divine. I bet there are interesting arguments at home as Sir Anthony Bamford is a major Tory donor and Lady Bamford is an evangelical organic farmer, ie not a fan of chlorinated chicken. You can buy her stuff via Ocado. If you like organic chicken and are prepared to pay £15 for a Tesco organic chicken then save your money and buy a Daylesford one for the same price.

Anyway, rapture over. I’m glad other people think that Kate is part of a strangulated group and her vocals are not the product of trying too hard.

In another note, I bought a dress similar to something Kate would wear and it came down to my ankles despite being described as “midi”. Kate’s height certainly helps her pull off some clothing triumphs.

Becles · 16/07/2020 22:06

Don't think I've seen this picture of Meghan's latest outing here yet.

White linen which would look grubby and rumpled within 20 minutes me leaving the house. Someone on this thread must be able to wear linen like a grown up. If not, why do the shops keep selling them 😒 and I keep falling for the hope that this latest piece will work out for me?😤

Becles. It's not just you. I have a bag full of failed linen experiments ready for the charity shop.

In my head I am going to waft through the summer looking effortlessly cool and stylish. In reality I look like a bag of washing. 😂

Me too. Although in my case it might have a little to do with shape!
itswinetime · 17/07/2020 12:10

I will join the rubbish with linen club it always looks like it have been screwed up in a ball for weeks within 5 mins! Not a fan of that dress either while it looks cool the is an touch of a sack look about it.

Camilla's 73rd birthday day! New photos to celebrate like the blue colour. The rest is pretty standard for her style I think

Daily Mail reports that Beatrice has married at Windsor Castle. Wonderful news if true.

FATEdestiny · 17/07/2020 12:26

Really? Nothing on BBC, Mail have broke the story if it's true.

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 17/07/2020 12:32

Yeah Rebecca English reporting so possibly more credence even if it is the Mail.

itswinetime · 17/07/2020 12:40

Wow I guess with everything going on a private wedding may have been the only option.

I'm happy but also a bit sad she didn't her her day although I know she's not the only bride in that position, also sad not to have some frocks to look at selfishly though

FATEdestiny · 17/07/2020 12:42

I wondering if its happening now but wasn't supposed to be announced until after the event, but The Mail have got wind if big happenings.

I hope we see photos. I'll be so disappointed if we don't.

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 17/07/2020 12:42

Very sad that we don’t get to see the frocks but delighted for Bea.

I think the fact that they didn’t wait for the huge wedding is a good sign that they are getting married for the right reasons.

itswinetime · 17/07/2020 12:44

The sun have managed to get a picture of the Queen and Philip being driven to the church I wonder if that's what tipped the press off.

Hopefully there will be some official portraits released I wonder who made the 30 guests?

ajandjjmum · 17/07/2020 12:52

Hope Bea and Edo will be very happy.

In an odd sort of way, I wonder if Covid was a good excuse for them to have a quiet wedding - as anything else would have been inappropriate and yet still expected - if that makes any sense at all!

mrscampbellblackagain · 17/07/2020 12:53

Agree @ajandjjmum, a perfect reason for a nice small wedding.
