@Maireas I've been having a look at tiaras and wondered if the Lotus Flower was up for grabs? I find it so light and pretty. Apologies if I'm inadvertently poking through someone else's tiara drawer!

How funny it would be if Kate looked on here and thought, nope - mine, all mine and I'm not sharing my jewels GrinGrin
I've just got home from a food shop (East Midlands) and it is freezing cold with snow. Our house is dreadfully cold so I'm wondering if the royal residences are also cold or if they are super cosy in the rooms they use?

We all know who the queen's dresser is but who is Kate's??

hopeishere · 01/04/2022 16:56

Natasha Archer is her stylist I think. Married to Chris Jackson photographer.

@Eaumyword I'm in the Southwest and it's lovely and warm in the sun, but there's a biting wind! I got caught out wearing just a top!

Eaumyword · 01/04/2022 18:45

Definitely "big coat" weather!Grin
Just had an interesting google of Natasha Archer. I do very much like her style. She wore a beautiful wedding dress not dissimilar to Kate's gorgeous evening dress.

Hello, @susiebluebell! Unfortunately, according to the Spreadsheet of Splendour, that sparkler has been claimed by @Lilypad78.
Maybe a share? Or have fun perusing tiara blogs 😊

I think Nastasha has a look of Maxima!

A classic diadem for Tiara of the Month - good choice Tatler

Thanks, @Tinitiny, it's a lovely tiara (wisely claimed by @CruelladeDevilla). I didn't realise it was taken apart for the bandeau part to be used. Interesting history.

Ah no! I will continue to peruse...
Maireas · 02/04/2022 08:03

Have fun perusing, Susie!
Others on here will probably be able to make some good suggestions...

Interesting history indeed. And versatile! I’m hoping for a trip to London soon and a quick detour to KP to have a look at the sparklers :)
Maireas · 02/04/2022 08:29

That sounds like a great day out 😍

Don't forget @susiebluebell, you can go crazy for earrings, rings and necklaces too!

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 02/04/2022 10:43

I think this is mine but I have name changed a few times recently so it may be under a previous name!

I get to wear it at a friend’s wedding next weekend - I will be channeling my inner Max to wear it with the attached frock. Happy days Grin

Wow, that's a cracker, Jeremiah!
Needless to say, Max looks fab.
What's this tiara called (apart from "bloomin fabulous")?

Nnique · 02/04/2022 11:13

Oh wow those sapphires!!

KillingMeDeftly · 02/04/2022 11:19

That's not the Stuart tiara is is? Max wore that on her state visit to the U.K. but I think it might be even more elaborate than this one.

Maireas · 02/04/2022 11:22

The Stuart tiara

Which I'm guessing @TracyBeakerSoYeah will be wearing this Easter. Those diamonds.❤️

Royal order calls it 'the Dutch sapphire tiara'! Call a spade a spade
It's a belter

Maireas · 02/04/2022 11:44

Well, thanks, paradyning - naming it enabled me to search the Spreadsheet of Splendour, and find that Jeremiah has already claimed it! (Under that name!)

It's most definitely yours, and will look gorgeous with that dress.
Equally good with jimjams while eating cake on the sofa, though...
