Cheers 🥂 @Maireas
& also to everyone 😊

Oh good, found you all! Thanks @Maireas for the new thread and @TracyBeakerSoYeah for the link.
I agree Camilla is flattered much more by the fit and colour of this dress than her usual insipid coloured loose hanging dresses.
Like many pps I'm not crazy about Kate's outfit today but I do love that it's a departure from her usual skinnies and Barbour!

@Serenster

The tiara is so big you almost don’t notice the size of the humungous diamond earrings Max is also wearing!

Agree @Serenster. Other people would say one statement piece of jewellery. Not Max! She wants the large tiara AND the earrings. She's just fabulous

Signing into the new thread a little late.

I really like Kates blazer and agree that dress is really flattering on Camilla.

Morning. Thank you for the new thread, I am definitely a silent follower on this. Wanted to say that I really loved the blazer/jacket, it wasn’t so dull as the usual jeans/blazer combination.

TracyBeaker thank you, they are just the kind of thing I’m looking for.

Thank you for the new thread @TracyBeakerSoYeah.
I'm not keen on the colour of Kate's jacket.
And the price !!!!

Thanks for the new thread! Placemarking with this beautiful photo I came across recently

You wouldn't seen HMQ in that coat these days!

I'm not keen on Kate's jacket but loved the overall look, such a refreshing change!

Not strictly S&B but thought you might enjoy the Royal sitting rooms for a change. I appreciate that it's all probably very staged but I want to live in Mike and Zara's house .

Royal Living Rooms

That is a beautiful photo of HMQ and PM. Is that Tony Armstrong-Jones between them?

I think my favourite of the sitting rooms is Mette-Marit's and Haakon's. Max's is very her! As is Anne's!

Yes, that is Tony AJ with Margaret & Liz. Absolutely super hats Daaarrrlink!

My favourite of those pic is the saloon at Sandringham. I need a saloon!
Great pic of HMQ, Tony and Margaret. Those tea cosy hats were all the rage then, weren't they.

Forget about the skinnies - when is she going to ditch those outrageously impractical high heels?

I think they're probably fine for events - she's chauffered there and attends for an hour or so. It's not like she has to get the bus or stand on a crowded tube in her heels!

Even for an hour. And getting in and out of cars. Bending down to greet small children. She must be killing her knees if nothing else.

Or curtseying low while carrying an infant. (Not Kate, but I have been down a Youtube rabbit hole watching videos of royal christenings. The Scandinavian and Dutch RFs obligingly make theirs public.)

Found you! Thanks for a shiny new thread. Glad to see no one has tried to claim the Spencer tiara as I've clearly had dibs on that for a while now

I bags the Greville tiara in that case frugal! Plus the ginormous 5 strand diamond necklace that goes with it!

Kate and Meghan seem to have mastered squatting down to child height in those heels. I remember Meghan visiting The Mayhew and doing it when about 6 months pregnant and petting a dog!

You're talking my language, @MiddlesexGirl.
How on earth they manage is baffling - I remember Meghan doing that, @KillingMeDeftly, it defied gravity!
Thanks for the sitting rooms, @RomainingCalm. I think I too need a saloon in my life, with a balcony and a grand piano. I would wear a tiara when taking afternoon tea there, Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik, thank you.

Charles and Camilla went to visit the horses (and people!) who look after the Royal Parks today. Another nice dress on Camilla, with a nicely defined waist and longer length. I love the colour too.
