Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?

[Maireas]

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

Love Kate's outfit. That's such a good colour.

I'm pretty sure that's a Hobbs coat. I have the same one in dark green!!

It is a Hobbs coat! I like that outfit, the colour is lovely and the trousers a flattering fit and length.

Kate looks good today, those crushed berry colours work so well for her. A great way to brighten up a gloomy November day Kate!

Letizia and Felipe are in Stockholm for a state visit and you know what that means - gowns and jewels! And no one does tiaras like CPV and Madeleine.

Is it just me or does Felipe look ever so slightly like Prince Charles in this shot? I know they're related (in several ways) but I'm not sure to what the closest degree of removal is - Queen Sofia and the DoE were first cousins? Actually maybe it was Sofia's father and the DoE.

Felipe’s maternal great-grandfather, King Constantine I of Greece, was Prince Philip's uncle. He is also the paternal great-grandson of Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, Princess Victoria Eugenie (“Ena”) of Battenberg who married King Alfonso XIII of Spain. Supposedly, Felipe calls the Queen “Aunt Lilibet.”

Some good photos on Kungahusets instagram of the Sweden-Spain visit actually, including historical ones!

Nothing terribly interesting sartorially apart from history being interesting etc.

Yep, love that outfit on Kate.

Yep, that's my coat! I've seen Kate's version in Hobbs and the photos are misleading - it's a really bright hot pink rather than a deeper crushed berry.

Love Leti's tan and orange (red?) outfit, and especially that fur collar. She looks great, though I don't love the headband.

Less of a fan of Kate's outfit than seems to be the consensus, but that's mainly because I really hate turtlenecks.

Thanks for that history on Felipe's connections to the British RF @SenecaFallsRedux. I have seen that he calls HM Aunt Lillibet - I'm pretty sure a letter of his was published to show this, though perhaps I'm imagining that?

Hobbs do a very nice coat.

Yes the cut and style of the coat is lovely, but I strongly dislike hot pink - I'm sure deftly's green is far nicer.

I think Beatrice is into "fashion" as a lot of what she wears is reasonably trendy, though it doesn't always suit her. She and Eugenie appear to have fun with their clothes though and they wear interesting shoes!

Plus they spend a lot of money. At one point they hired a very expensive top end stylist. I don't know if she still works with them.

I'm starting the new thread. I'll endeavour to attach a link, but who knows. Perhaps Tracy or someone equally lovely could help.

This is my version of Kate's coat. I guess you could say it's Meghan Green!

Lovely green coat.

Oo Leti with her old nose on that first link

I would wear that outfit Kate has on happily. She looks lovely and really relaxed
