Royal Style: Gucci and Chanel for the win, coat dresses for the bin!

[Maireas]

Royal style continues!
Thanks to Deftly for the thread title. Let's hope there's more Gucci and Chanel.....fewer coat dresses..,.

@Maireas

Oh dear. I really don't like the uniform. White shirts and denim? Tonal outfits may have been better. They look as if they're on a dvd cover for a 90s family comedy drama. Albeit a wealthy family....

Those boots had clearly never been worn before that photo was taken!

I'm a bit bored now of the endless photos of CPM. There was a picture in the week of the family at the exhibition and the children looked pretty fed up too!

The space hopper pose is just peculiar and the white shirts/jeans looks like it was sponsored by Venture - although missing the bare feet and strategically placed props.

Love Kate's casual look for shopping.

Ooh, no I’m not a fan of that denim look at all. They all look like they’re wearing school shirts and shoes with a job lot of 90’s jeans. Not good.😳

I see that CPM features in an article in today’s FT Weekend, How To Spend It ~ Portrait of a Modern Royal. She’s certainly getting wide coverage!

I like the grouping in that family portrait, the shape of the group and the way they are touching each other. Though for perfection Mary should have her hand on the shoulder of the young boy sitting on the arm of the couch, as no one is touching him.
I’m not keen on the denim & white combination, it’s very dated, like a LP cover for a family ukulele band. Muted tonal colours would have been so much better, and more realistic.

I love this photo Joan Collins has shared on Instagram. From one queen to another!

Or a group photo from an American family reunion. Different background, of course. In the US, it would be a random beach somewhere or in a field sitting on bales of hay.

HM held a reception - I love the cake!
I rather like her dress, it reminds me of Wedgwood pottery, the colour and design.

Lovely colour!

Some great pictures online of HMQ. I like the blue dress but also rather like her green outdoor coat - just wondering whether that caped style is could be my autumn/winter look.

I’m thinking Gilmore Girls

That's another nice picture, she looks so happy.
Is that a Loden coat?.

HMQ looks well but so tiny. Her dress is slightly loose on her, which gives the impression that she's shrunk! Which I suppose she has.

That’s a lovely coat and shape on HMQ, and I like W the wedgewood inspired dress too, very pretty. It looks a little big though, she looks very slight there.

Omg I love that dark green cape coat on HMQ! I'd totally wear that.
I think she looks really well and not as slight as she did after Philip died, although understandably she was grieving and it was all probably hugely overwhelming for her.
She really looks great for 95, what a trouper!

Another fan of HMQ's green cape coat. I felt happy seeing those photos of the reception. It's reassuring to see her.

That Wedgewood blue dress is very pretty but I'm surprised Angela Kelly didn't have it taken in for the Queen - perhaps she had planned to wear it and when she tried it on they thought
"Oh blo*dy hell. Ah sure, feck it I'll wear it."

In a message marking the 70th anniversary of her accession, HMQ has said that it is her “sincere wish” that Camilla will be known as Queen Consort when Charles becomes King.

(I do hope Queen Camilla doesn’t wear her favourite black boots to the coronation!)

She's a wily bird isn't she? Chooses precisely the moment to express her intent, regardless of press speculation and all the nay sayers. No doubt I'll be damned by the "forelock tugging" brigade, but I can't help love her.

And the green cape is totally fabulous.

Loving the green cape! HM seems more sprightly of late, hopefully she’ll get to enjoy the summer celebrations in good health.
I haven’t gone through the programme for the jubilee, do any of you wise ladies know if there will be a tiara ball? 👸🏻

On another note, Tatler brings us the (substantial) Mountbatten diamond tiara for February

Has anyone claimed this one?

That denim photo of the danish RF is just ridiculous 🤣
Nice to see HMQ in such top form! Her clothes are just not fitting properly at all lately though. That wedgewood dress is swimming on her.

No claimants for the Mountbatten tiara as yet, @Tinitiny!

It’s the weird touching in the Danish picture.

More Mary! This time she looks like she's plotting to take over not just the Danish royal Instagram but Queen M's throne too!

She's been knocked off the top spot today by Marie as it's now her birthday but really, will anyone notice the difference?
