Thanks royal style fans for the thread title!
We need banquets, some diplomatic visits and more weddings. Oh and more of gorgeous Charles (you know the one I mean!)

MotherofPearl - I have you down as the owner of the Fife tiara.
Would you like a tiara share with the Greville? To be honest, T is probably just going to wear the Imperial State, isn't she?

How about a Westminster tiara, Gluenotsoup? There are quite a few.

I loved Kate in her red ensemble today, the reds were so well-matched I thought it was a dress at first. She did look tired though (I have every sympathy, I have a house full of children with heavy colds, yay…).

As for tiaras, I’ll take the Chaumet Bourbon-Parma, if it’s free? Or the lovely Portland diamond, sapphire and pearl one. Either would do for me. Grin

Serenster - Chaumet Bourbon-Parma ✔️

@gluenotsoup there is the Duchess of Manchester’s tiara, if yo u fancy that? Helpfully, it’s now in the V&A so can be admired in person (the Duchess in the photo must have been quite tiny as in the flesh the tiara doesn’t look that imposing…).

That’s rather nice, I might have that one.
The Anglesey tiara and the Oriental circlet are lovely too. I do like the Cartier Halo too ❤️

StartupRepair · 19/10/2021 21:27

@gluenotsoup have a look at the Dutch and Swedish collections.

MotherofPearl · 19/10/2021 21:27

Oh yes you're right Maireas, I did opt for the Fife in the end. Phew! The Greville is free for other takers.

AdaColeman · 19/10/2021 21:28

I quite liked Kate’s red outfit today, she does carry that bright scarlet shade off well, she’s often worn it in the past. I thought that the neck was too high, but the skirt was super, and flowed beautifully.
She needed a nice brooch to finish it off I thought.

So lovely to see that photo of the late Duke of Westminster, I remember that day well.

In fact I'm going to put dibs on the Norwegian emerald parure as well as the Devonshire. www.thecourtjeweller.com/2014/11/tiara-timeline-norwegian-emerald-parure.html

Balloondog · 19/10/2021 21:30

Wow that Manchester Tiara is something else! As a Mancunian, I'm very proud of the association with that ridiculously huge tiara 🤣

Bearsbearsbears40 · 19/10/2021 22:15

Delurking from this thread to say…is Kate’s wedding tiara still available?!

Loving today’s red outfit. Also enjoyed the Earthshot dress recycle too.

MotherofPearl · 19/10/2021 22:19

Another of my favourites - brought to my attention by a poster on here - is the Empress Josephine Faberge Tiara. Surely someone should lay claim to it?

Maireas · 19/10/2021 22:34

@Bearsbearsbears40 - yes, it's available.
Shall I put you down for it?

Wowsers, MoP! Love it.

It is amazing. It was one of Tatler's Tiara of the Month.

Who was it who introduced us to Tatler's Tiara of the Month? Was it @Tinitiny?

Serenster · 19/10/2021 22:44

That Faberge tiara is lovely, but surprisingly petite in reality I think? More like the tiara a ballerina would wear?

Tinitiny · 19/10/2021 22:53

Guilty :)

I’d just been thinking we need a tiara day? 😁

The Norwegian parure is rather lovely, green goes with lots of colours so practical too 👍🏼

MotherofPearl · 19/10/2021 22:59

Ah well if it's petite it's just as well I'm sticking with the Fife. It's all about the sheer quantity of diamonds for me.

As for Tiara Day, count me in!

There'd better be some tiaras on show at the Diplomatic Reception next month, or I foresee some tantrums on our thread. Me included!

Tinitiny · 19/10/2021 22:59

Back to Charlene, she looks sicker and sicker on every subsequent picture. She should be returning ‘in October’ but who knows.
Those poor twins, must be awful for them being without their mummy for so long :(

MotherofPearl · 19/10/2021 23:07

The Charlene situation is concerning, that's for sure. She looks dreadfully unwell and very gaunt, and then it's also striking, as paradyning says, that she has taken to wearing rosary beads and appears to be perhaps undergoing some kind of religious experience. It is all quite puzzling, and I hope she's okay.

AdaColeman · 20/10/2021 00:05

Charlene’s parents must still be in South Africa, so she won’t be entirely alone there, and she’ll have staff of course too.

Her medical problems seem to have been triggered by a sinus lift and bone contouring procedure in the Spring. She certainly looks very ill poor soul, and she must be missing her children.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/10/2021 00:36

Just reminding you all that the Stuart Tiara is mine & mine & Maxima's only Grin
However I will lend it out for special occasions.

Poor Charlene, heaven knows what's going on there.

That’s a gorgeous photo of Max and the stunning Stuart tiara Tracy!
