@Maireas

Eaumyword is it the sleeveless dress with the stripe? Nice. Tracy maybe we could ask Camilla to run us up a beach robe in left over fabric! This Charles is cute.

No, it's called the Poppy Jersey dress and Stephanie's wearing it in the chartreuse (basically yellow) colourway. It's a very forgiving jersey maxi with half sleeves. I love mine, am saving it for best or at least some hot weather!

That's nice, Eaumyword. It's been warm here until the thunderstorms started.
Thanks, paradyning for the link - the parure dates from the 1830s. You wonder how much these people have in their vaults. It does seem quite small, but it's elegant and unusual.

I like Stephanie's engagement ring, just got a glimpse in the photo of His Royal Squishiness - love the name.

Thanks paradyning!

Thanks for the link paradyning. I see that it is turquoise, and described on Royal Order of Sartorial Splendour as 'petite', which about sums it up.

I see Kate's in self-isolation after contact with a positive case. Poor her, self-isolation is such a drag.

I've been a long time lurker since pretty much the beginning of these threads & have hugely enjoyed them. I'm not sure if this has been posted before but this article came up in my news feed today & I immediately thought of you all! www.townandcountrymag.com/style/jewelry-and-watches/gmp35744981/princess-diana-queen-elizabeth-emerald-jewelry-photos/

Kate was supposed to be at a few events today but I've just read that she's had to self-isolate so now can't attend.

Thanks for that link, Lily. I really enjoyed looking at all those emeralds, especially Wallis Simpson's engagement ring, my all-time favourite.

Thanks @Lilypad78 for that interesting link about emeralds. I just sat and read it.
Omg I can't believe the Cambridge emeralds were won in a raffle! You couldn't make that up, could you.
I loved flicking through all the photographs-Kate looks glorious in her pregnancy photos with her emeralds and Eugenie's wedding tiara is beautiful.
One question if I may? On picture 21, HMQ has what looks like odd placement of her brooch/order. Kind of under boobage, rather than just above. Anyone know why this might be?

Loved that link about the emeralds @Lilypad78, thank you! Some fab pics in there. 👍

Max and Wax are visiting Germany. I'm not crazy about this dress, but the whole look kind of comes together. Her smile always makes her outfits.

Then we have Charlotte Casiraghi and her son Raphael. She is beautiful and stylish, but I really think the Chanel branding on this dress is tacky. I know it's Chanel, and I think she's one of their brand ambassadors, but it's tacky nonetheless. I quite like the shoes though!

Thanks, @Lilypad78 for that link, really interesting reading an images. I love emeralds. Doesn't Kate look absolutely stunning in the emerald parure and green dress from 2018? Gorgeous. I have to say Anne looks glam in that group picture with the QM, I'm surprised we've not seen that again
Although she'll still have it.

Thanks, @MotherofPearl for some Max pictures! Sure to brighten up a rainy day! I rather like her dress, the hat and clutch. Not a great look from the normally chic Charlotte Casiraghi - I know she's dressed by Chanel, but that just looks like the plastic cover you get the clothes in. Not great hair, either.

I quite like Max's dress. It's a gorgeous shape apart from the darts that look like nipples.

Charlotte's dress is a bit baggy, as was the white one from the other day. Bun number 3 in oven?

Fab link lilypad thank you! Eugenie's tiara remains my favourite of the emeralds on offer, just imagine if she'd worn the matching necklace

I thought this was a lovely photo of Princess Caroline at the event Charlotte also attended. She's still beautiful and looks so serene, even though her life has been anything but!

Caroline looks beautiful. Even better, she's ageing elegantly - it's nice that she hasn't gone down the plastic route, although no doubt tempted.

Lovely natural pic of Caroline there. 👍

I agree Caroline has aged well. She has a natural elegance, presumably inherited from her mother in part.

Some Max glam here tonight.

Immense shoes! How she walks I'll not know.

Oh and a tiara too!

Not so keen on the dress but her jewels are 💯
