A little seasonal fun...
The BBC News have got a nice article about the pantomime costumes worn by Elizabeth and Margaret when they were teenagers putting on the Royal Christmas Pantos.
The costumes are part of an exhibition being staged at Windsor Castle. The BBC photos are lovely, and show how well made the intricate costumes, using beautiful fabrics, are.
A far cry from Am Dram at the village hall!
The title of the article is something like...The Queen's teenage pantomime costumes go on display.

As Maireas says - Bare arms in November 😮😩
I thought the very same - she's in Sweden fgs Shock even colder than here in Ireland.
Perhaps the hospital is very well heated ?

banivani · 27/11/2021 15:21

Babes, she’s indoors and we know how to use heating here… ;) even if she’s regretting her choice she’d never show it though.

GrouchyKiwi · 27/11/2021 15:24

My Swedish BIL always takes an extra jumper when he comes to visit us. Grin

(Our house is generally colder than most people enjoy since the Newfie and the children are rubbish at shutting doors.)

Maireas · 27/11/2021 15:29

The heat's on high at Maireas Manor, but I'm still well covered and besleeved. Mind you, the last time I was in a hospital it was about 28°c, so maybe Swedish hospitals are similarly balmy. Nice outfit, though.

Daisy isn't stinting on the jewels in her latest portrait!

Woah, is that suite spoken for? That tiara, earrings and necklace combo would look good on me doing the foodshop...

KillingMeDeftly · 27/11/2021 17:11

I'm sure she'd lend them to you if you ask nicely @Eaumyword

Maireas · 27/11/2021 17:12

Ask and ye shall receive, Eaumyword
Daisy's stonking portrait parure is yours ✔️

Some chancer on eBay is selling the pink Hobbs coat Kate wore the other day for £695! You can see from the photos that it's actually bright pink rather than raspberry.

Are those pearls? At first I thought it was opals. They are huge!
KillingMeDeftly · 27/11/2021 20:24

I'm pretty sure they're (the world's largest) pearls!

I don't like the settings for the pearls at all. Looks tarnished, the necklace looks like something from the Adams family or the Munsters

MotherofPearl · 27/11/2021 21:21

I love Daisy's pearls, including the setting. I prefer jewellery not to be too 'shiny' (except diamonds, obvs!).

Love both of CPV's recent looks - those a-line skirts look great on her. She always seems very calm and composed.

MotherofPearl · 27/11/2021 21:25

Sophie out and about today. Her hair is looking lovely, but I'm not sure her outfit works. The top and bottom halves don't go. The leather jacket is Prada. I think the blouse and jacket would have worked, but not with those teal trousers, which were the wrong colour and 'weight', IMO.

They had plenty of the pink coats in Hobbs in Reading yesterday and also in the Hobbs bit of John Lewis (all in the Black Friday offer) Grin not in my size though sadly!

How terribly dare you diss my parure. I'll have you sent to the Tower! Grin

Sophie is looking great, lovely hair and makeup, but her clothes are a bit hit and miss. I like the jacket but not with the trousers. I think she suits softer silhouettes personally.

LadyEloise1 · 28/11/2021 09:14

I'm with justasking111 re Daisy's Pearls and Dull Diamonds parure.
Sorry @Eaumyword.
But I think we should be honest with each other on this thread. Smile

Sophie really suits longer hair. She looks great. I think she too has had a bit of work done.
It's knowing when to stop Rania.

Serenster · 28/11/2021 09:54

I agree about Sophie’s outfit, MotherofPearl. If the trousers had been a teal a-line skirt in a winter weight fabric I think it would have looked a lot better.

paradyning · 28/11/2021 10:33

Some history on Daisy's parure. How is miss this blogger

My friend Sophie's age a tall willowy small boobed friend has a leather jacket she wears with jeans, she looks great with her boyish figure, whereas in my big chested case not so much

Eaumyword · 28/11/2021 14:12

I still love them and am happy with my haul! I chuckled reading the blog where it says it "nestles well into her signature updo"! Grin
I so agree on the small of boob looking good in leather jackets - I am larger of nork and only average height and kind of look dumpy in them not that it stops me from wearing them

KillingMeDeftly · 28/11/2021 14:15

As long as you don't look like Suzi Quattro's nan @Eaumyword! Ah but that was a good thread...
