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.

Tongue in cheek because I do realise how serious the virus is & how it is effecting the whole world.

But blooming Covid it even has the audacity to hijack our thread.

frugalkitty · 19/08/2020 16:40

Tracy I agree Grin

frugalkitty · 20/08/2020 17:13

Brace yourselves ladies.....on the never ending quest to find school shoes for DD earlier, I found myself walking through M&S, specifically the Per Una section and saw some clothes that were actually nice! Not smothered to death with embellishments but actually nice cuts and colours! My point being if M&S have raised their Per Una game for us peasants, maybe after lockdown is over Erdem with do the same for the posh girls Grin

I'm going to miss those sofa prints 😂

Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, a former mistress of Juan Carlos, is spilling the beans about how she comes to have a multi million euro gift from JC in her bank account, it’s a BBC exclusive apparently.
She’s very attractive in her photographs, wearing some beautiful clothes.

LadyEloise · 20/08/2020 19:18

@AdaColeman yes she is very good looking.
King Juan Carlos did you ever ask yourself why was such a stunning looking woman attracted to you in your latter less handsome years ?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/08/2020 19:38

Probably something to do with money & being a King.
I know Juan Carlos is more to blame being the one who was married but Corinna didn't have to say yes please, as she knew he was married to Sofia.

Just bumping the thread back up so it doesn't disappear on my tio list.

justasking111 · 23/08/2020 00:08

@TracyBeakerSoYeah thank you it is a pain to find again. Roll on September when the royals are working again.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 23/08/2020 00:27

Yes roll on September & then hopefully this thread will start flying again as it used to!

AppleKatie · 23/08/2020 10:48

There is a strange quietness about this place that’s for sure!

Horsemad · 23/08/2020 11:11

Should we post some old pictures if possible - this day 10 years ago, etc if we can find anything? 🤔

AppleKatie · 23/08/2020 12:14

Feel free Horsemad- I would love to see them. I’m sorry I’m being a crap OP but there too much RL shit going on here for me to do it.

Anyone see the pics of Megs. Amazing legs but not sure the length of the shorts were any good. Can't put my finger on why they looked so weird. Maybe too baggy?

Horsemad · 23/08/2020 15:06

She really does do the casual look so well.

Horsemad · 23/08/2020 15:08

@AppleKatie, please don't feel under any pressure to keep posting just because you're the OP. I hope things settle down for you soon. Flowers

banivani · 23/08/2020 16:04

Sure the royals are doing nothing to post about Apple, I know I’m not engaging either sure what can I say? ;)

AppleKatie · 23/08/2020 16:31

Haven’t seen the latest Meg pictures? Where are they?

OP posts:
itswinetime · 23/08/2020 16:53

Normally I like Meghans casual look but those are the style of shorts length and width wise that don't suit anyone in my opinion.

Don't worry about a quiet thread there is nothing happen....we aren't even getting the car shots from balmoral on a Sunday anymore it will pick up after the holidays.

itswinetime · 23/08/2020 16:58

All we are getting from balmoral this year is fashion lacking arrival pics this week it's Eugenie Jack and the Wessex's apparently the Cambridge's normally go this coming week so we will probably see some pictures of them boarding an easy jet plan or train ect

And last but not least some pics of Beatrice and Edoardo who seem to be one honeymoon if the press are to be believed.

I can't find anything from 10 years ago though that's to tough of a challenge Grin

Thanks @itswinetime

I like Meghans shorts- but maybe that’s because I wish I could wear shorts like that but I definitely can’t!

Balmoral arrivals looks very ‘normal family in their comfies in the country’ which whilst it rings true is sad on the clothes front Grin

I like Beatrice’s second outfit there, less keen on the pink thing.

Found a Hello article with old photos of the Royals on holiday throughout the years www.hellomagazine.com/travel/gallery/2020042788752/royal-family-on-holiday-photos/7/?viewas=amp

The Diana & Harry photo from 1990 is lovely but gives me a little ache in my heart knowing what was happen a few years later.
If she was here with us now I can imagine Granny Diana letting George, Charlotte, Louis & Archie covering her with sand. That would have been a great photo.
(Obviously if the future minus the crash had planned out the same)

Wow. Eug looks like she could be sporting Seraphine there.

MotherofPearl · 24/08/2020 19:42

@AppleKatie please don't worry about trying to post if you've got other things going on. Thanks I've been pretty remiss myself, but it's also that there is simply not much Royal fashion to comment on at the moment.

I really like Bea's coat in that second photo wine posted.
