Royal Style - I’m not qualified but you can’t cut me off when there’s a wedding dress to look at...

If someone else has already started one of these please direct me over. I’m not qualified to be the OP of these wonderful threads... but I typed the below and I will be heard Grin Wink

Neither the dress nor the tiara are my personal favourites.

But bloody hell it’s got class.

Granny’s dress and tiara turn it from ‘shameful secret wedding because daddy can’t be seen in public anymore’ to ‘intimate family occasion fully supported and loved by Grandmother, The Queen’. I think it’s a huge showing of support from the Queen to her granddaughter and that’s lovely.

Not Royal, though she might have been, Cressida Bonas got married last weekend. I’ve not seen any photos of the dress, only one of her on horseback in the distance.

LadyEloise · 28/07/2020 08:43

I have to say Cressida's husband Harry is very handsome.

Interesting article in the DM today about a front cover headline in a Spanish magazine describing Princess Amalia as 'plus size'. It reminded me of the articles years back when the Swedish royals confirmed CP Victoria was anorexic. A reminder that women can't 'win' whatever body shape and size they are, someone is out to criticise.

I saw Cressida Bonas in Zara once. She had lovely hair and skin but also wasn’t someone with any star power. Only realised it was her when my friend nudged me. Whereas I once saw Kate Moss in a restaurant and it was like a celestial vision - nobody in the room could tear their their eyes away.

breadcakebiscuits · 28/07/2020 10:19

Sorry that sounded bitchy - I meant star power because she’s an actress.

@LadyEloise

I have to say Cressida's husband Harry is very handsome.
He is indeed, better looking than her even! William and Harry's cousin, Louis Spencer, looks just like him.

Princess Amalia is only 16, I can't believe a magazine would be talking about her size and body. Royal women are regularly criticised about all sorts and the men seem to get away with so much!

I think they’re both gorgeous! She’s got an understated beauty maybe, rather than a show stopper but that can be nicer.

I’m not commenting on the 16 year old coz that’s grim. Except to say poor girl the press should know better.

I do think Cressida is pretty (if that didn't come across!)

itswinetime · 28/07/2020 16:57

Camilla has been out and about today a little stroll to the national gallery and then boots partly to look at their safe space project and some others they work with Camilla on.

Dress is a rewear but I think this is Camilla's first time in a mask.

Cressida and Harry 2 make a very good looking couple.
She's pretty and he's handsome.

Annasgirl · 28/07/2020 17:29

I read the article about Maxima's DD and was very upset (my DD is the same age). The princess is so beautiful, just like her mum. But even if she was not, no one should be publishing comments on the appearance of a 16 year old girl.

Whew, it is so hard raising teens to be resilient, I don't envy Maxima and Willem Alexander their job (nor indeed any of the Royal parents, I assume it will be the same when the Spanish Royals and the Danish Royals get to that age).

Littlepurpleflower · 28/07/2020 17:59

Yes, shocking stuff about Amalia.

Harry2 has a tragic backstory. His elder brother committed suicide. His mother is married to the Marquis of Milford Haven, ie a descendant of Louis Mountbatten so a cousin of Prince Philip. A walk in MH centre was opened in liverpool (I think) and William attended the launch story here

fallfallfall · 28/07/2020 18:00

oh my! that princess is young and beautiful and has tons of time to grow into her frame. the lazy journo that referred to her as such should be disciplined.

LizzieVereker · 28/07/2020 18:16

Hello - may I join? I’ve lurked on and enjoyed these threads for so long Smile. By way of introduction, I came across this article and would love to hear your opinions of some of clothes:
Town and Country Mag most stylish royals

Lots of royals whom I’d never heard of before!

AdaColeman · 28/07/2020 18:35

Cressida & Harry W-S were an item at university, so he is Harry1 and Prince Harry, who came later, is Harry2 ! Grin
Or possibly Harry W-S is Harry1&3 !! Confused

LadyEloise · 28/07/2020 19:10

@AdaColeman
Do you want to confuse them ( other posters ) altogether Grin

frugalkitty · 28/07/2020 19:26

Thanks for the link Lizzie these are my favourite outfits.....and I especially like the red dress on Leti (although it's in the Rania section!)

Beatrice is possibly in France:

Soon after tying the knot in a secret ceremony on July 17, Princess Beatrice and her new husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi took off on a low-key honeymoon.

“They are on a small honeymoon in France,” a source tells PEOPLE, adding that the newlyweds are also planning on a more elaborate trip for next month. “They have a longer more luxurious honeymoon planned for August,” the source adds.

The laid-back trip to France follows their whirlwind wedding ceremony, which came together in just two weeks after the wedding ban due to lockdown measures in the U.K. was lifted.

UkuleleRose · 28/07/2020 21:03

If that's a turtle brooch Camilla's wearing, I must have it!

thisenglishlife · 28/07/2020 21:48

Yes, it is.

Here is a similar one:

Short video of Anne teaching the Queen zoom apparently it's from a documentary to mark her 70th birthday soon

AdaColeman · 29/07/2020 08:52

Anne has guest edited the latest edition of Country Life to mark her 70th birthday in August (15th?). Fly tipping, wind turbines, solar energy all get a mention, along with her love of nature & country pursuits.

LadyEloise · 29/07/2020 10:46

Very nasty re Amalia. I hope the magazine suffers though I feel sorry for any innocent employees and their families that would be impacted by that.

hoteltango · 29/07/2020 11:19

There's a documentary, "Anne: The Princess Royal at 70" on ITV at 9 pm tonight.

mathanxiety · 29/07/2020 19:22

Agree LadyEloise.
