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

We could all use a good jewellery article on a Saturday morning right? The Iranian crown is something else Shock

Daisy looks amazing, that gown is stunning, yet regal.
CPV looks fab in the dark red velvet but loses pretend critique points for no tiara Grin
CPM - I'd so wear that black collared dress. You're right, it is shades of Boden although it was probably designer.

KillingMeDeftly · 13/11/2021 08:59

I realise the way I cropped the photo makes it look like Daisy is giving the eye to the white haired gent but I wanted to zoom in on her gown. His wife is present next to him!

It's lovely to see the threads flying again now that everyone royal is out & about.

Eaumyword · 13/11/2021 17:55

Isn't it just! It's been a long dry spell!

Maireas · 13/11/2021 18:17

Great article, thanks Deftly.
We always need an article about jewellery Smile. Some gorgeous pieces.

It's the Festival of Remembrance tonight so Kate and the rest will be out for that.

KillingMeDeftly · 13/11/2021 20:25

Basic black all around tonight

It took me a while to figure out who Daisy was 🙈

paradyning · 13/11/2021 22:44

I think Birgitte looks lovely in her lace. Is Anne there?

Maireas · 13/11/2021 23:13

Yes, Anne was there, in a black velvet suit. She was with Tim. Birgitte was in lace - I think she always looks very elegant.
Prince and Princess Michael were seated behind the Laurences.

I love that dress of Kate's. So simple and elegant.

Anyone want to see all available Fabergé Imperial eggs, ranked?:

frugalkitty · 14/11/2021 08:36

Ooh thanks for the link to the eggs, I like the swan one. My dream is to find a faberge egg in a charity shop (unlikely!). It's not the value of it that appeals though, but the history and connections.

The Queen is missing the Remembrance Event today due to a sprained back.

Maireas · 14/11/2021 09:34

HM would never, ever miss Remembrance Sunday if at all possible. I hope that she recovers soon.

Is it just me who's a bit Hmm at "a sprained back"? Then again I guess it doesn't take much to sprain something at 95.

margotsdevil · 14/11/2021 09:54

I was also a bit Hmmat the sprained back and feel it's a definite attempt to deflect from some other root cause sadly. However I was firmly told that it was extremely plausible on the thread about it so 🤷🏻‍♀️

MotherofPearl · 14/11/2021 10:30

I loved Kate's black dress last night. Actually I thought all the royal women looked good.

I don't feel huge confidence in the sprained back explanation either. I do feel worried that it's a cover for something worse. I really hope she's okay.

latedecember1963 · 14/11/2021 11:24

Thank you for the link to the Faberge eggs, Searabbit. I loved the comments about them. 😁
I hope the Queen is comfortable and able to watch the ceremony on TV at least. Prince Charles looked very wistful as he was laying her wreath. I know they live a life of immense privilege, but it must be difficult for her close family to be aware that their public appearance today will be being scrutinised by the press.

KillingMeDeftly · 14/11/2021 11:26

Kate on the balcony with Camilla today. I think the hat is new but I recognise the coat from a few years ago. It reminds me of the Salvation Army uniform!

Camilla's hat is immense but she can carry that style off.

TSSDNCOP · 14/11/2021 11:38

I utterly loathe that coat that Catherine is wearing. The collar always looks grimy to me, which obviously I'm sure it's not and I cannot stand epaulettes.

Camilla on the other hand looks terrific.

SnottyLottie · 14/11/2021 11:43

Camilla’s hat is fantastic

SeaRabbit · 14/11/2021 11:50

I love the coat!
