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.

Thread mascot Prince Charles has also been out and about!

@MotherofPearl

Queen Margrethe has hosted a reception. Marie and Mary both in trousers. I like Marie's velvet suit and metallic shoes, but am less keen on Mary's outfit on this occasion. It's the bow at the waist I especially dislike. Still, she always looks elegant.
I thought for a moment Marie was being very daring and wearing a tuxedo with no blouse underneath! Joachim needs to ditch the Grecian 2000. It actually makes him look older than Fred.

Little Charles suddenly looks like a toddler rather than a baby, doesn't he? His outfit is so cute!

Thanks, @RockaLock - good time for the thread mascot! He is so cute. It's nice that his parents take him out to meet people.

Yes, @Maireas , I was thinking the same - it's really nice that Charles is taken out on so many engagements by his parents. Especially when he is still so cute and squishy!

Love Marie's velvet suit.

He's made that elderly lady's day.
I think they've taken him to retirement homes or care homes before.

Ah, he is cute! And coordinated with his mummy, too! Dad however- sorry I can’t remember there names, is it Stephanie and X? Anyway- not keen on the green and red from dad, far too Elfy for me!
I like the velvet tux look, but would have the trousers a slimmer cut, cigarette style maybe, but still elegant, and I like Mary’s outfit too, the bow doesn’t really add or take away for me.

I thought Marie was Mary at first and wondered why Mary wasn't with CPF.

Always the way with those twins Kiwi! They are uncannily alike.

Agree that Joachim looks older than he should there.

As for lovely little Prince Charles, thanks for posting those pictures. What a poppet!

Ah, a perennial problem on this thread, @GrouchyKiwi - Mary or Marie?
Some of us have posted outfits attributed to the wrong woman on more than one occasion.

Throw Kate into the mix and it gets even more confusing!

Good news, I hope she does return and with improved health. The children must be missing her and vice versa.

Another tiara to add to the mix! This would make an excellent starter tiara I think...from the Earl of Lindsay's family collection (no, I haven't a clue who that is either, but his daughter married some Spanish royal prince chap)

Ooh, nice tiara, frugalkitty, not one we've seen before, unless I'm mistaken.

frugalkitty · 27/10/2021 17:24

It is, isn't is Maireas? Kind of understated but striking at the same time. I really like it.

paradyning · 27/10/2021 17:27

Think we looked at this one when the wedding was on didn't we?

Maireas · 27/10/2021 17:30

Did we, paradyning? Possibly! There are so many. Which suits us. Grin
I don't normally go for understated, frugalkitty, but it is stylish.

Was this the one where one of the dads punched someone and Queen Anne Marie caught them?

gluenotsoup · 27/10/2021 17:35

Ooh, that’s beautiful, very much up my street, and from what I can see of the dress, that’s very lovely too😍. A bit like Kitty Spencer’s too on the neckline. I don’t think I have seen that before, and I have hung around in the background for years. YEARS, let me tell you😂. Must find a more productive hobby 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nice tiara, Frugal, understated yet with the obligatory diamonds the size of boiled sweets! Grin
@Maireas no, there is no better hobby! These threads have made me so happy to check in on.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 27/10/2021 17:52

Sounds perfect for us but I think we'd have to bring our own precious gems Grin
