BB is always so stylish. An interesting look, she can pull it off, though.
Leti looking bright! That's a shade worn by Lilibet! The Spanish princesses always look good .

Aah, the Queen loves horses. ❤️

I was just thinking that dress is the sort to get pregnancy speculation started!

MotherofPearl · 19/06/2021 18:25

I thought just the same but couldn't make up my mind!

Has anyone else noticed that Princess Leonora has started wearing little heels? I think the first time I noticed them was in the photos of her Confirmation.

Beatrice Borromeo looks like a goddess in that golden dress.

Pierre caught doing his John Wayne impersonation there! Grin

MotherofPearl · 19/06/2021 20:03

Lovely photo of HMQ.

AdaColeman · 19/06/2021 20:22

I see Her Maj is wearing one of her favourite brooches there, in the shape of an oriental palm leaf.

The Queen Mother was a terror for breaking up pieces of jewellery she considered old fashioned, so that she could reuse the stones.
Cartier made this brooch for her from loose stones, not long after her husband became King.

She wore it frequently throughout her life, it's shown on the famous photograph of her waiting on the station platform for the arrival of her husband's coffin.
So it's nice to see it still being worn and giving pleasure.

Maireas · 19/06/2021 20:26

Good spot, @AdaColeman. HM must have one of the best brooch collections in the world. I like the way that she selects them for the symbolic meaning as well.

Last time I saw sleeves like the ones on Kate's dress yesterday was in 1987 on the bridesmaid dress I had for my brother's wedding. I like the colour on her but the sleeves and neckline were wrong for her.

I thought the Queen looked fabulous in her mint green at Ascot.

Eaumyword · 19/06/2021 22:11

Great photo of HMQ! My happy place is horses too! Smile
Some fab fashion lately-that gold Grecian dress is stunning.
I enjoy learning about the history of the RF jewellery on here too.

StartupRepair · 19/06/2021 22:20

Love the picture of HM. Great colour on her and beautiful happy smile.

AppleKatie · 20/06/2021 07:53

Lovely picture of HM.
Spanish royals looking impeccable as always too.

LadyEloise · 20/06/2021 09:50

The Queen's outfit was lovely. Loved the hat with the roses.

I do love looking at the Ascot fashion every June.

I always think Beatrice looks like a modern day daughter of Grace Kelly.
KillingMeDeftly · 20/06/2021 14:40

@CliffsofMohair I think she also resembles Paola, the former queen of the Belgians, who was a great beauty in her youth. Both are Italian aristocrats but they aren't related, as far as I know.

paradyning · 20/06/2021 15:57

She really does. Our former Queen of Andals always said that too

KillingMeDeftly · 20/06/2021 17:21

The Monegasque royals certainly seem the most glitzy and glamorous out of the bunch!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 21/06/2021 21:00

Prince William's 39th Birthday today & Clarence House havevreleased a photo of William at 6 months old sat on Charles' knee.
Also here's a photo of William with George & Charlotte at Sandringham yesterday.

Cute pics! Although the one of William as a baby bizarrely looks like it was taken in about 1954 Confused

And it's what he will look like when he is 70, but with less hair.

KillingMeDeftly · 21/06/2021 21:40

I can remember William at that age Shock

AppleKatie · 21/06/2021 21:54

That looks like the first time Charles ever held him Grin

[disclaimer I know it wasn’t - it’s just the awkward hold and look]
