Parking myself here..

I like Kate's blue jumper very much, though generally speaking I'm not keen on black trousers with a coloured jumper. I agree that her hair colour looks great though I probably prefer the waves to the straighter look.

Bearsbearsbears40 · 09/03/2022 21:54

Hello all, just found the new thread. I was also looking out for some more yellow on Kate today too! (I see they had badges on). The jumper is nice 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Ooh, MN doesn’t seem to do flag emojis…

I think she looks beautiful. Great hair, nice outfit and I'm betting her literal dressing is as far as she can go in terms of support without overstepping the political royal boundary.

I was wondering if we’d see some diplomatic dressing at the BAFTAs on Sunday (wear a white dress, borrow an aquamarine necklace from the Queen, add a bright yellow clutch king of thing) but she got in a few days early. A good idea to visit the cultural centre.

Gemaholic. That's me.

The flags display on the mobile app but not the desktop site. I can see them!

Blue dress and badge yesterday. Think Leticia blouse opened the floodgates to be honest

gluenotsoup · 10/03/2022 16:26

Why can I only read this is germaholics?? No matter how many times I see it 🤦🏻‍♀️. Covid has ruined me.

MotherofPearl · 10/03/2022 20:00

Sophie has been on a visit today in connection with her work as patron of the Scar Free Foundation, which seems a very worthy cause. I'm not hugely keen on pink personally, but I can see that it suits her colouring.

The Swedish Royals have attended a prayer service for peace in Ukraine. I find it quite a moving sight.

Catherine looked quite strained yesterday, she will know more than us what's going on re Ukraine as a mum that's hard

Maireas · 10/03/2022 20:23

Sophie's been busy lately, it's good to see her out and about. I'm not keen on the pink coat either, but it does suit her colouring.

It's like the coat has caught in her jumper underneath and made the fit all wrong. So annoying when that happens.

Eaumyword · 10/03/2022 21:46

Not keen on Sophie's look there and I usually love pink.
Great cause and I like how animated and interested she looks when meeting people.

MotherofPearl · 10/03/2022 21:49

The coat is Prada, so I feel it should look a lot better. I think maybe it would have looked better over a 60s style dress? I agree that the top/jumper underneath makes it look bunchy.

gluenotsoup · 11/03/2022 08:54

I also like the colouring on Sophie, but not the fit. It looks like it’s slipped back on her shoulders. It might have looked better with a different top underneath, with a different neckline and a shorter sleeve to show off the bracelet length sleeves. And, of course, an eye catching bracelet with it .

RatherBeRiding · 11/03/2022 09:30

The Swedish royals all look very sombre - good to see such levels of support for Ukraine.

KillingMeDeftly · 11/03/2022 16:04

It's the BAFTAs this weekend but the Cambridges aren't attending. How could Kate deprive us of a gown moment??

MotherofPearl · 11/03/2022 16:46

How inconsiderate of them @KillingMeDeftly! Honestly. I have wondered whether the Caribbean tour will definitely go ahead. Perhaps, in light of the war, they may feel it's not appropriate? Sorry, I realise this is a very frivolous concern in light of the horrific situation in Ukraine.

In my NMR round up we have Leti at a memorial event. Not keen on those shiny black heels at all. Sophie has been at various events in Liverpool. I don't think the jacket matches her dress. But she's so warm and engaged. From the photo it looks like one woman she spoke to had her in tears.

Leti looks very shiny all over. Not a fan of that one.

Sophie doesn’t look her best either, sort of matronly? But seems to be enjoying herself wherever she goes and I love that about her.

Maireas · 11/03/2022 17:23

Sophie's been looking great, in as much as she looks so positive, smiley and engaged. Not so sure about the outfits.
Leti's silk shirt is a repeat, but the skirt is another vintage one from Queen Sofia's wardrobe. Those shiny Prada heels are very much her signature look, aren't they?

AdaColeman · 11/03/2022 17:23

The Cambridges will not be attending the BAFTAs? I'd say they were culpable of gross dereliction of duty. As a punishment, for the next three months, at any public engagement, Kate should be forced to wear one of HM's corgi patterned head scarves knotted under her chin.

gluenotsoup · 11/03/2022 17:26

I’m not all that keen on either of those looks, tbh. Leti looks too hard and shiny and Sophie’s jacket and skirt length and shape don’t give a flattering outline. I do however LOVE that Sophie was actually meeting a lady she befriended in a helpline through Covid, and she spoke to her every fortnight. They met on her 90th birthday. I think I have something in my eye .. 🤗
