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

[AppleKatie]

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

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.

And there's me thinking Kate's Anne Boleyn headbands couldn't get any worse.....Max, Max, Max, what were you thinking?

By the way, you can buy bags of mini white chocolate orange segments, they're very yummy.

None of you noticed Edward ditched the double breasted

Wow yes he has!
Nice one Sophie 👋 🌊

That's my attempt at a wave

That is a big win on the single breasted front. So to speak. Looks so much better.

Think Sophie should have gone all out Kate in the country for this one.

We keep thinking Edward has ditched the double breasted suit and then they sneak back I refuse to get my hopes up anymore

Just wondering what the plan is at Christmas for the Royal Family?
They can't all go to Sandringham this year, well that's if the rule of 6 is still in place.
(Mind you I don't know if anyone will abide that rule on Christmas Day)

The royals will be the one family that have to abide it I think and definitely no crowds for the walk to church. It will be an odd year

I suppose each family could be placed in a cottage around the estate.
Then HMQ & DoE could pop in for an hour or so each cottage.
Or there could be a family rota for visiting the big house.
And there is always the Grouse shoot on Boxing Day to get together for a few hours. (I think shoots are allowed?)

That may be the new thing this Christmas but more Turkey shoot than Grouse. Would sort out the seeing your family & Christmas Dinner in one go.

There is talk though that they won't even be able to be at sandringham though isn't there something about the stuff not wanting to bubble for 4 weeks over Christmas (which is understandable) not sure how that's different at Windsor though

Cant link but what fab dress and picture of Flora Ogilvy latest royal bride

Re Queens Christmas - how about each family stay in a cottage and they zoom meet to the main house and have a virtual Christmas lunch

Flora Ogilvy looks stunning. Beautiful dress.

Flora Ogilvy looks lovely - very simple and elegant dress. This is where I miss the wedding pics because her mother and grandma are both very stylish!
Can we hope that Kate has dropped the Anne Boleyn headbands?

@Maireas

Right, I'm FedExing some Dylon in primary colours to Stockholm.

Haha! @Boscoismyspiritanimal - I have no idea what the deal is. A lot of Swedish women have traditional Scandinavian colouring so I suspect that is one reason why we get a lot of pastel skewing maybe. I just feel like there is no range. Then I suspect I'd feel the same if I lived abroad, if I lived in Italy I might grumble "does everything have to have chains printed on it" or something. Anyway, I feel that for many years now they make outfits in black, beige and/or white and one "colour" which is a variety of pink - millenial or salmon.

Lovely Flora dress! Sadly no more photos, curious if there were any guests what they wore (hopefully the Swedish ones would prove my point you see).

Wedding pic. Like the simplicity of the dress but not the flowers. I like the blue of the groom's suit too.

Note: Double-breasted!

Oh I like her bouquet, simple and understated.

The bride looks lovely.
No harsh makeup.
The dress suits her.
Wishing them happiness.

What is traditional Scandinavian colouring ?

Photos of Flora's Great Grandmother Princess Marina on her wedding day in 1934
An 8yr old Princess Elizabeth was one of the bridesmaids.
Prince Philip aged 13 was at the wedding too (as Marina was his cousin) but HMQ apparently says she can't remember him.

Flora does look beautiful & very happy. Her dress is gorgeous.

Gorgeous dress in Flora. I think that Marina's dress was pink. Will see if I can find the link.

Hmm wrong bride. Marina's dress was made of silver and white brocade.
