With tiaras galore! Thanks for the title, @Eaumyword.
Looking for @TracyBeakerSoYeah for the link!

Thanks TraceyBeaker, Sad Sad

I have to say that I thought the pink dress Sophie wore to Flora’s blessing ceremony was absolutely ghastly. Far from being “dazzling”, it looked as though the design was inspired by a Victorian lampshade. What was her dresser thinking?

KillingMeDeftly · 11/09/2021 20:22

I find a lot of what Sophie wears quite boring but I guess it's appropriate for the events she attends.

frugalkitty · 11/09/2021 20:26

I don't wear earrings so that's one less person in the sharing pool.

I do like rings though......

The Japanese Crown Princess has just turned 55. Not much to see re fashion but she should share her skincare regime. She doesn't look much more than 35!

I agree about Sophie’s pink dress. Hideous, especially that weird scrunchie neck thing.

CliffsofMohair · 11/09/2021 21:25

55! 😳

Luxembourg Princess Stephanie attending the baptism of a rose. It’s a thing. She glows with happiness these days.

The baptism of a rose bush must come quite near the top of the list of bonkers events royals attend.

Maireas · 11/09/2021 23:49

They're such a happy couple. However, they should be compelled to only appear with gorgeous Prince Charles (you know the one I mean)

Ah! The rose bush is named after Grand Duke Guillaume in honour of his 40th birthday. It’s all part of a plan to promote a rose growing industry in Luxembourg.
It’s a beautiful pink double rose.
Is that a Bowden shirt Stephanie is wearing?

AdaColeman · 11/09/2021 23:54

Boden (autocorrecting to all sorts, even Biden!)

Well @Maireas you know what the next baby boy in your family should be called....... begins with a C Smile

Maireas · 12/09/2021 00:05

No sign of grandchildren yet, Tracy! I have raised it with them. No pressure.
My children have an interesting ethnic mix, so are unlikely to use that name!

My son has just said he'd rather call his future infant son Boris or Piers. He may not be joking.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/09/2021 00:20

Argghhhhh @Maireas I hope you've said 'call them what you want but no way Jose for Boris/Piers.
Reminds me that I liked Yasmin for DD but unfortunately it was a no go on one side of the family as it was a Yasmin who tried to cause trouble with a family member.
Though on the other side of the family I have a lovely relation called Yasmin who was honoured we considered her name.
Though in the end we went with something totally different for DD

Lady Helen's dress is ruined by the range material.

Bride is lovely but don't like the tiara

Not keen on Sophie's dress. Day Amelia's outfit is awful. The dress, shoes and bag look like they were on the Primark sale rail and clumped together. The jacket is awful and clashes. She's a beautiful young girl

MrsRockAndRoll · 12/09/2021 08:32

India is beautiful. Her dress, ail & shoes are stunning

Wow! She looks so young
Maireas · 12/09/2021 08:38

Amelia's outfit has got to be one of the worst wedding outfits I've ever seen. Never mind from a wealthy fashion model/influencer.

She's fairly plain and doesn't know how to dress. It's amazing the doors nepotism opens!

Maireas · 12/09/2021 08:52

Indeed. It's certainly opened doors for her!

Sounding like my mother here, but Amelia hasn't even ironed her dress! It looks like she got it out of the delivery packet and put it straight on.
