Thanks for those wedding pictures, what a handsome couple. So elegant. Queen Sofia looks nice, but some of the wedding outfits..Hmm

Full marks to the lady in the mantilla, though.

Some pics of Char carrying out conservation work and really rocking her undercut.

SnottyLottie · 24/05/2021 19:38

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond The photo of Diana with long hair, oh my goodness, she looks like Annabelle Wallis

KillingMeDeftly · 24/05/2021 19:59

I'm not sure about Charlene's undercut. She looks like Henry V!

Eaumyword · 24/05/2021 20:28

Char looks very high fashion, but it is a very severe look indeed.

[quote Serenster]Looking at the wedding photo I was sure it must be an old picture, as I definitely remembered the groom being married in that amazing uniform, but turns out it was his older brother. The family resemblance is very strong! Grin

The brides look pretty similar as well!

That's exactly it! Couldn't put my finger on it!

I like the pic of Diana's pretend long hair -when she grew it longer in '84, it wasn't quite long enough, imo. Thought her hair was lovely on her wedding day.

@Eaumyword, think it was you who mentioned HMQ, PA & Zara on horseback? What a great pic!

And finally, I think Char's hair looks brilliant in those photos. Love it! 👍

Beautiful Spanish wedding there - I loved that dress and the embroidered skirt.

LadyEloise · 25/05/2021 07:56

I really didn't like Diana's hairstyle in those two photos MotherofPearl posted.
It looks too mumsy, set looking. I wonder who her hair stylist was.
I know she switched hair stylists at one stage.
She could wear her hair short - in those Patrick Demarchelier shots she looked fabulous.

I loved her hair in the photo of her holding newborn Harry on the hospital steps.

I loved that wedding dress, but not so much the train - probably gorgeous in RL though, in the little photos on my screen it looks a little tacked on however.

My husband just bought himself a denim jacket so I took immense pleasure in showing him this photo Grin www.instagram.com/p/CPNWLR8ns7o/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Henry V is perfect! Grin

MotherofPearl · 25/05/2021 13:21

Estelle and Oscar double deniming there! Grin

Flip it's another miss for me today from Kate. But I hate camel. Trousers look like they need hemmed. Scarf looks cheap.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/05/2021 13:41

Oscar looks so like Daniel, right down to his commitment to hair gel!

FawnDrench · 25/05/2021 13:44

I like the coat but the whole outfit altogether makes her look like a Caramac chocolate bar.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/05/2021 13:45

It's a bit 50 shades of beige.

Spudlet · 25/05/2021 13:50

I like each of the elements of that, but it’s a bit much all at once. I see she got some tartan in there, which is at least a bit more subtle than when she goes dressed up like a tin of shortbread!

iknowimcoming · 25/05/2021 13:52

The trousers look a bit 'Bon marchè permanent crease for nana's' to me although she's just about pulling it off to be fair

KillingMeDeftly · 25/05/2021 13:55

You could've told me it was a picture of Queen Silvia of Sweden in the 70s and I would've believed you! I hate camel so don't care for this ensemble, although she's as beautifully groomed as ever.

Eaumyword · 25/05/2021 14:03

LOVE her Angelina Jolie-ish camel ensemble! I like Caramacs, so...
Love the tailored trousers (bonus points for seeing the feet this time!) Love the coat. Hair is absolutely fabulous.
The only thing I don't like is the boy scout scarf, it looks really odd.
It's a big thumbs up from me today! I'd wear it, but as I'm dumpy and short, I'd totally look like one of Kevin and Perry's school uniformed school mates Sad

LadyEloise · 25/05/2021 14:18

I don't think camel suits Kate.
She's a Summer - ( Colour Me Beautiful
/ House of Colour ).
I don't like the scarf either.

I love camel myself - very luxe.
Reminds me of a Max Mara cashmere coat.

chesterelly · 25/05/2021 14:21

It's all a bit too monochrome for me. I'd have kept the coat (but without the brass buttons,I think they cheapen everything) but I think navy trousers or even that classic Aquascutum check would've been better. I'll tick tartan off my bingo card though.

MotherofPearl · 25/05/2021 14:30

I'm not convinced by today's beige offering either, and agree that navy trousers would have been nicer. She didn't let us down with the tartan though!
