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!)

How lovely to donate the money to charity, that's a nice thing to do. Also to wear Carole's dress!

I wonder if it'll just be photos of them (and the dogs) or if there'll be shots of the Cambridges and Pippa etc?

LadyEloise1 · 20/09/2021 14:57

Found this thread- Maireas and TraceyBeaker, Thank you.
Who is MC ? Is it Marie Chantal ?

Maireas · 20/09/2021 14:58

Yes, the "Crown Princess" of Greece.

I've just had a look, as I can see Hello as part of Apple news.

Lots of lovely pictures of the happy couple (and dogs), a couple with a few guests in the shot, but sadly none of Kate/Pippa/children

RockaLock · 20/09/2021 15:32

It did look like a lovely chilled-out, relaxed wedding, though!

Eaumyword · 20/09/2021 16:13

I know this is a lovely thread and we aren't to be mean, but I would like to say that a friend of mine worked for MC years ago. Not nice to the 'little people' apparently/allegedly.
Loving the vibe of James and Alizee's wedding even more with charity donations and wearing MIL wedding dress! Smile

KillingMeDeftly · 20/09/2021 16:17

I don't think that's classed as "being mean" @Eaumyword but it isn't surprising!

Eaumyword · 20/09/2021 16:19

Phew, thank you!

Maireas · 20/09/2021 16:21

Not mean, Eaumyword, and something I'd heard before!

Congratulations to Bea & Edo.
I thought she'd have a girl but then I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right Grin

@MrsMaiselsRedCoat

Baby girl for Bea, lovely news. I hope her happiness isn't spoiled by her father's behaviour.

Lovely for the two sisters to have babies so close in age.

That is lovely. I loved having cousins of similar age!

Anyone have any name guesses? I hope they release a picture, I love baby pictures

ChristmasPlannier · 20/09/2021 17:48

@Serenster

Congratulations to Bea and Eduardo, that’s lovely news. I hope we get a photo!

Speaking of which, Hello! is publishing photos of James Middleton and Alizée Thevenet’s wedding this week. They have made it clear that rather than paying the couple, the magazine donated the money to the Pets as Therapy charity. Also, apparently Alizée wore Carole Middleton’s wedding dress!

Oooh I would love to see pictures of the whole family but I doubt they will send pics of William, Kate & the kids.

I wonder if the dress was altered to make it different or worn the same way!

Serenster · 20/09/2021 18:25

If you at the extreme left of this picture you can see a bit of Pippa in a red floral dress, and her husband, enthusiastically whooping at the happy couple Grin

There's a woman the right hand side, second from the back in between the a man and another woman in pink. The woman looks a bit like Kate. Maybe in a purple dress?

KillingMeDeftly · 20/09/2021 18:38

Well spotted @INeedtobealone! It does look like Kate. And that's definitely Pippa and her husband cheering on the left.

KillingMeDeftly · 20/09/2021 18:40

The woman we think is Kate is pointing with her left hand - should be easy enough to identify her if you can see her engagement ring!

MotherofPearl · 20/09/2021 20:54

I've just looked at the photos of various members of the RF visiting the Chelsea Flower Show today, and had to race here to post.

I'm afraid there are some shockers, at least imo.

Poor Sophie, this VB dress is not right on her. I detest the cold-shoulder (or cold-arm?!) style, too. Like Cams she needs a bra intervention too.

I can't understand what's happened to Princess Michael of Kent, who used to be quite an elegant woman (whatever one may think of some of her views)?

Princess Anne looks fine, and very much like she always does, though this seems quite a severe and formal outfit for a flower show. Perhaps she was going on to another engagement?

The winner for me is Princess Alexandra. That shade of pink really suits her. Would like to see the full outfit.

Thanks, MoP! Great pictures, and Princess Alexandra is definitely the winner in the style stakes. So elegant. She was the best dressed at her granddaughter's wedding, too. Disappointing from Sophie - not flattering, and not a good look for Princess Michael, normally very elegant. Anne looking formidable!

Princess Anne in another Shibumi coat . She has worn several of their styles in recent months.

Serenster · 20/09/2021 21:19

That’s a terrible dress on Sophie! A Victoria Beckham nightmare.

I agree that Princess Alexandra looks as elegant as ever. I think Princess Michael’s scarf ends at just the wrong point under her coat, and doesn’t contrast with her top enough, so it just looks like layers and layers of bulk?

latedecember1963 · 20/09/2021 21:20

Lovely baby news for Beatrice. I was on honeymoon in Devon in August 1988 when Beatrice made her debut in Hello magazine so I'm sure there'll be side by side 1988/2021 photos as soon as they are made available.

I had never heard of them before, Gonegrey31 and just had a browse on their website. Oh my - some of their fabrics are gorgeous! Their coats, while lovely, are not my style, but their reversible dressing gowns are to die for….
StartupRepair · 20/09/2021 21:48

I wonder if rewearing a family member's dress for a wedding is becoming a trend. Was so classy when Beatrice wore the Queen's dress for her wedding.
