Thanks, MotherofPearl. Max often wears orange (for obvious reasons!), but I actually like her in the deeper tone, more burnt orange. I love her clutch bag in the second pic.

I think the jewellery was very interesting. I lost my grandma earlier this year. For the funeral I wore the jewellery that connected me to her. A ring she left me and the watch she gave me for my 18th. It was nice to see the royal family doing the same. I found camilla's brooch very touching but Lady Louise was wearing a horse and whip brooch - for the carriage driving presumably - and Im quite glad I only found that out afterwards as it would have been almost too much to know on the day. Poor family. However much you expect it, however ready you are, it's a huge huge loss.

Queen Mathilde, who I've always found a bit dull in terms of fashion, has been winning the royal mask game for the past year!

I agree, Maireas, with the burnt orange on Max. She so suits that sunshiney colour palette of oranges and yellows, but that burnt orange really looks beautiful against her colouring.
Ooh I spy what Mathilde does - clothes are tailor made and masks made from offcuts! Smart move!

MotherofPearl · 20/04/2021 20:07

I know we've said it before on here, but Mathilde but is oddly ageless. She's 48 but has looked the same for years, and I think will still look the same when she's 68!

KillingMeDeftly · 20/04/2021 20:07

I have to say that if I was expecting someone royal to make mask fashion a thing then that someone was Maxima rather than Mathilde!

KillingMeDeftly · 20/04/2021 20:09

@MotherofPearl Princess Anne is a bit like that to me. She's looked more or less the same for 40 years!

I refuse to make masks a fashion thing. I really don't want them to become an established part of our routine like they seem to be in e.g. Japan.

I love Max in that orange outfit. Mathilde is oddly frozen and has been for years. She has been sporting the matching mask look since the start of the pandemic.
I like Cam's masks and Kate's ditsy ones!

CliffsofMohair · 20/04/2021 23:09

The lacy masks have a slight air of knickers about them which I find disconcerting

KillingMeDeftly · 21/04/2021 06:52

Kate's masks are cute but some of Camilla's are terrifying!

Crumbs-it's a bit Silence of the Lambs! I'm definitely in favour of having fun with masks and styling them out.
I like Cam's hair there and love that she doesn't take herself too seriously. Her eyes have a naughty twinkle!

At least she is having fun with them!

MotherofPearl · 21/04/2021 19:27

The Duke and DoC have visited an RAF Cadets Squadron today. They're still in mourning of course, so are in black. I am not sure Kate's coat/coatdress is as well-fitted as usual, but she looks lovely as ever.

Looking at it again, I think it's that the top part is too big.

Eaumyword · 21/04/2021 19:33

Do I spot highlights in D of C hair? It does look nice.
I'm brunette and beginning to check out the option of highlights as I'm getting so grey!

AdaColeman · 21/04/2021 19:42

Kate's Dolce & Gabbana coat dress could be black, but Will's suit looks more like dark navy to me. Whatever colour it is, he's wearing someone else's trousers, possibly Boris's.

MotherofPearl · 21/04/2021 20:06

Yes you're right Ada. Though I think his tie is black?

RomainingCalm · 21/04/2021 20:57

I like the fact that Kate has brought out her military style coat for the cadets - in a crazy week it's reassuring that she's consistent.

By no to William's mismatched navy trousers and jacket with black tie and brown shoes. Sorry Will.

KillingMeDeftly · 21/04/2021 21:03

I don't share Kate's love of buttons. Not keen on the look.

LadyEloise · 21/04/2021 23:48

In the third photo Kate looks very like her Mum. I like her coat.
Did William get dressed in the dark ? Smile

FaithHowellsYellowCoat · 22/04/2021 11:13

The neckline with the buttons makes it look quite 80s.

I agree on the brown shoes. Harry seems to wear them with every kind of suit and they look awful.

Prince Louis is 3 today & starting nursery.
Lovely photo taken by Kate.

Love it! Louis seems such a confident and happy little boy.
