Royal Style - Leti loves a linear look, but Maxima's mantra is more!

[Maireas]

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

So much admiration for the way the Duchess of Cambridge can walk in heels. I know they are impractical, but it’s quite difficult to look graceful in heels if you haven’t mastered the technique. Really easy to lean forwards too much.

I like Leti’s espadrilles from toe to shin, but agree that the proportions could be better.

You're right, @merrymouse, it's difficult to look elegant in heels unless you've mastered the art of walking in them! Very true about Kate.
I just look like Dick Emery.

Not exactly style-related, but a photo of Imelda Staunton as HMQ in series 5 of The Crown has been released.

She's certainly got the hands right, hasn't she?
I've only seen the first couple of series, but thought Claire Foy was excellent. I haven't seen the Olivia Colman ones.

The set of her mouth and chin also seems very much HMQ.

@Maireas

She's certainly got the hands right, hasn't she? I've only seen the first couple of series, but thought Claire Foy was excellent. I haven't seen the Olivia Colman ones.

OC is very good but doesn't immediately disappear into the role the way CF does. It took a few episodes before she stopped being Olivia Colman-y.

I really enjoyed The Crown. Absolutely loved Matt Smith and Claire Foy, but like you say, Olivia Colman took a bit of getting used to. I love her, but she has unique mannerisms/expressions.
Olivia Colman-y, yes definitely!

I liked the first series because of the social history - the smog, the Suez crisis etc.

I've just read that Letizia's grandmother has died at 93.

Short video clip of Kitty's wedding where you can see all her dresses in more detail. Its basically an ad for D&G!

Thanks for posting that video KillingMeDeftly it's brightened up my Saturday morning.

I think her wedding dress is actually my least favourite of the 'Kitty Collection'.

On a plus though, the link to the D&G Instagram has helped me find the perfect outfit for my UK staycation.

I'm not sure I like the wedding dress it's very "designer" The rest are amazing and Kitty is beautiful. I hope the wedding was a lovely ceremony because the rest of it does seem to be a D&G advert

It was like beautiful glossy D&G advertorial

Thanks, @KillingMeDeftly - those dresses are amazing! I'm in agreement with all of you above, though - it is a D&G advert? Doesn't she represent Bulgari jewellery as well? Maybe they made the earrings and necklace?
Anyway, @RomainingCalm, that's a lovely beach outfit - you'll be the belle of Skegness!
Call in at Linda's chippy - good portions

She must have signed a contract with D&G to promote their brand.

Agree with you all, the fashion and jewellery is spectacular and she is stunning- but it's pure advert for D&G. The wedding seems a bit...incidental...
Made me chuckle and reminded me of Love Actually where Keira Knightly sees her wedding video and realises every single shot is only of her!

I was going to say that I couldn't spot the groom!

Kitty and her guests seemed more into their outfits than the groom and tbh who can blame them?

True. He might at least have featured in the background, though!

I'm off to the IOW on my camping adventures tomorrow and because it's Cowes week, I promise to keep a beady eye out (and camera at the ready) just in case Kate hitches a lift on our ferry over

Happy camping, frugalkitty!
Are you taking the tiara?

Oh Maireas if only! Some would opt for a head torch, I could light my way by diamonds......

I know we say Anne looks good for 70 but this is ridiculous! 😆

Blimey!
So not the point but oh my days, I love that shade of yellow!

😂😂😂 brilliant!
I also love that shade of yellow! I think she had that made by Susan Small in 1973. 😉
