I like Madeleine’s skirt, especially the bow detail and the lovely fabric looks like heavy silk. Her glamorous outfit is effective for the occasion, a staged photo shoot with added Christmas trees.

Kate’s woollen kilt is a classic day wear skirt, she was out and about at an active outdoor event when that photograph was taken. I think Kate looked super, casual and classy. Both outfits are red skirts worn with black jumpers but there the similarities end.

Lovely picture of your tiara, Paradyning! I hope you're wearing it tomorrow!

Max and Wax's Christmas card is very glam. I love mini-Max's green dress.

Her Maj does look as though she could do with a little tailoring help for her red dress, (where is Angela when she is needed?). But it’s nice to see her in a cheerful festive colour.

The brooch Her Maj is wearing is her sapphire, diamond and platinum Chrysanthemum brooch, you can see its little stem if you look closely. She was presented with the brooch in 1946 when she launched an oil tanker named the British Princess.
It is an often seen favourite piece, frequently worn at important or significant occasions, such as for her honeymoon photograph or various anniversary photographs, or at international events.

Ooh I like Max&Wax's card!

Maireas · 24/12/2021 11:07

I love the Max Wax card! They all look gorgeous, lovely dresses, especially Max. That's lovely.
They manage to look elegant, yet not too formal. Nice dogs, too!

I’ve been missing off this thread for a while, dd is in hospital, hopefully we will be home today.
I love Madeleines tiara, that’s beautiful. I also like the tartan skirt and black top, I do prefer it to Kate’s actually, it’s just more flattering I think.
I Love Max’s Christmas card, she looks fabulous there. Incidentally my oldest dd looks very like their daughter in the green dress, can’t remember her name.

And I’m wearing this tomorrow 🎄

HM looks good in the red. I agree about better undergarments, though I imagine it may be a rather delicate topic to approach.

My DM is 89, and has given up on bras altogether she doesn't appear on prime time TV though

MotherofPearl · 24/12/2021 13:04

Hope your DD is okay glue.

Nice to see you all have your tiaras at the ready for tomorrow, everyone. You've inspired me to dust down the Fife for a Christmas outing. I'm sure it will bring some festive sparkle to the lunch table. Grin

Decisions, decisions…😊

Some of HMQ's Christmas message ensembles over the years. She really committed to that hairdo didn't she?

Those pictures of HMQ are fabulous KillingMeDeftlyThe one bottom right looks as if she's reading the 6 o'clock news... those glasses! 😂

KillingMeDeftly · 24/12/2021 15:38

Hah she does a bit! She's ditched the glasses for messages in more recent years.

whataboutbob · 24/12/2021 18:55

Re HM’s ah ... bosoms, apparently she withdrew the royal warrant from Rigby and Peller because the owner committed then unforgivable sin of mentioning the queen in her memoirs. Seems she could do with a decent fitting now.

Eaumyword · 24/12/2021 19:38

I'd just like to say Merry Christmas all of you. These threads are a wonderful distraction from the trials and tribs of life and you learn new things too!
Lots of love and good cheer (and tiaras to all!) ♥️
