Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?

I think we have at least one tiara each, according to my spreadsheet. Some have parures. Any newbies welcome, log your choices.

The way the wee ones are grabbing her arm makes me feel totes emosh.

Eaumyword · 08/11/2021 19:30

Missed you for a few days Smile
I love Max's toffee polka dot dress and bravo Sophie to that amazing leather dress, it's fab!

MotherofPearl · 08/11/2021 20:19

I have to say I feel a bit relieved to see that Char has made it back. Hope she's okay.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 08/11/2021 21:04

I hope everything will be ok for Charlene but to be fair no one truly knows what's going on that household.
Albert does look quite happy & relieved in that photo

paradyning · 08/11/2021 21:30

Love in her leaving SA interview before boarding the jet Char says looking forward to seeing my children.
She's had a 2k cashmere dress on! Cosy.

Serenster · 08/11/2021 21:57

Charlene came back with a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, too - I liked the fact she had a puppy with her while she was away from her family.

She’s properly leaning into Albert there in the picture. Interesting.

AdaColeman · 08/11/2021 22:23

Lovely photo of Gabriella & Jacques, they must be thrilled to have their Mother back home. I hope it works out for Charlene and Albert, and she starts to enjoy her life.
Interesting how much her dress cost, I think Albert is one of the world’s richest royals so it’s pocket money to him.

I know I’ll be a lone voice here, but I think Sophie looks awful in the leather dress with the jumper underneath! Just why is she wearing them together, is she feeling the cold? Maybe she should have kept her Liberty Bodice on!

paradyning · 08/11/2021 22:24

Having just destroyed my only cashmere jumper in the washing machine, I am pitying her dry cleaner.

FionaMacCool · 08/11/2021 22:42

Gosh @Serenster I think the body language is quite awkward there- her feet point toward the photographer, while her body leans on him, but he hasn't turned toward her at all.

paradyning · 08/11/2021 22:59

Totally agree. I think she's back to finalise the settlement! Or renegotiate terms!
Love her flat boots however.

This. I’m amazed she’s back. Lovely for the twins who must have missed their mother. how will Shazza take the news

Glad Charlene is home, but I agree the photo is the usual fake affection. She had to come back if she wants to see her children, I assume they will carry on living separate lives. Sadly she needs him more than he needs her 😭

gluenotsoup · 09/11/2021 08:55

I think there is a lot going on there, I really want to think that they have had a bad patch, Charlene’s op, and they have found a way to try to move on together now. Fingers crossed for her that she’ll heal and find happiness. The children look so excited too.
I like the boots, cashmere dress is just the ticket 👍🏼

Eaumyword · 09/11/2021 10:17

I love that cashmere/wool dress and boots combo. Not forgiving on the lumpy bits though, as I discovered in Next the other day, fortunately in the privacy of the changing cubicle.
I am so curious about the situation, but hope for all concerned it's a happy outcome.

Oooooo potential tiara time klaxon alert!! 🚨

State visit of Max and Wax to Norway!

It looks like she is wearing mega emerald earrings as daywear.
Her dress is very Sophie-esque

paradyning · 09/11/2021 12:44

They look like the emeralds she is wearing here as part of a parure.

Love that green dress and earrings!

Maireas · 09/11/2021 16:16

Love the green dress, it's so stylish.
Great outfit.

gluenotsoup · 09/11/2021 18:12

That’s a great dress! I love the colour, the neckline and the overall shape. It’s very feminine, a bit mad men? Very flattering anyway. And I especially approve of the emeralds 😊

paradyning · 09/11/2021 19:54

Wahoooo

Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?
paradyning · 09/11/2021 19:56

This is lovely too twitter.com/royalspectator/status/1456627432052690957?s=21

KillingMeDeftly · 09/11/2021 20:00

Isn't that the dress Max wore on her last U.K. state visit?

paradyning · 09/11/2021 20:23

I think so, with her coronation tiara

Looks like MM may have her wedding daisy tiara on. Can't tell what ML has on
