Oh Tracy you are norty! Grin The dark haired girl in the bikini is the Australian model who ran up to Charlie and started kissing him, thus grabbing herself world wide headlines! Has Charlie borrowed Camilla’s floral shorts there? Wink

Philip was dashingly handsome, no wonder Lilibet fell hook line & sinker for him!

It’s kinda a shame those genes didn’t translate into the next generation

Not enough outfits are inspired by Pierre de Pierrot in my opinion

I've long thought the same about the genetic lottery, CliffsofMohair, especially looking again at the engagement picture I posted earlier.
They were a very attractive couple.

Junot was such a dodgy playboy.

LadyEloise1 · 09/04/2022 13:44

I think Caroline's parents were heartbroken when she went ahead and married Junot.

AdaColeman · 09/04/2022 14:44

What you can't see there CliffsofMohair is that there is a whole troupe of them dressed like that, and the worried look on that chap's face is because there are custard pies in the offing! Grin Grin

SenecaFallsRedux · 09/04/2022 15:37

I think the dress is beautiful, especially the square neckline, but agree about the darts.

Some of those guests have really embraced the 1980s fashion resurgence, which is not a good look, in my humble opinion, but fun to gaze at.

KillingMeDeftly · 09/04/2022 15:52

There's nothing like a Euro "royal" wedding for bringing out the zany dressers. At least they're not dull!

@LadyEloise1

I think Caroline's parents were heartbroken when she went ahead and married Junot.
I remember my mum using it as a cautionary tale about listening to your parents and saying Grace and Rainier were dead against the marriage but Caroline didn't listen to them. No idea how my mum was so certain though!
susiebluebell · 09/04/2022 17:35

I actually really like the bright colours and variety of cuts - interesting and refreshing compared to some of the British royal weddings. Didn't see a single coat dress + court shoes combo. The sunshine might be doing something too!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 09/04/2022 18:14

They like a wide-brimmed hat too.

Maireas · 09/04/2022 19:06

Quite right, Susie. If I had my way coat dresses and high heeled court shoes would be banned.
I rather like the different styles.

Princess Anne jetted off to Australia to Open the Royal Easter Show. Lovely spring (is it autumn there?) colour but is that a coat-dress?

SenecaFallsRedux · 09/04/2022 21:29

I think Anne's wearing an actual coat rather than a coat dress. She wore that same coat with darker green dress under it, and the hat, to Ascot several years ago.

Maireas · 09/04/2022 21:38

It's an actual coat. Australia for three days!

KillingMeDeftly · 09/04/2022 22:13

I think Anne is off to Papua New Guinea next. Rather her than me Confused

iknowimcoming · 09/04/2022 23:00

Briefly de-lurking to say can I have that junot wedding tiara if it's not taken already please and (apologies if it's been mentioned before but) have you seen the interview Camilla did about the silver swans ballet classes? It popped up in my Facebook feed yesterday and made me laugh as she seems quite (brutally) honest and very down to earth, she also talks about how fit Charles is, I'll try to find a link

StartupRepair · 10/04/2022 00:30

It's autumn here in Australia. Anne looks good. Love the brooch.

Maireas · 10/04/2022 08:33

@iknowimcoming - Isabelle Junot wedding tiara ✔️
Make sure that you wear it on the Easter weekend!

I like Anne's outfit colour - suitably spring like! Smile

LadyEloise1 · 10/04/2022 09:20

I think Anne's outfit is fine but I don't think the colour suits her. It drains her imo.
I love her attitude - "Just get on with it "

frugalkitty · 10/04/2022 09:57

Not remotely royal but looking at the pics of the Beckham boy's wedding, and some of the outfits the guests are in are awful! Much like the Junot wedding, very much an example of money not buying taste. The glimpses of the brides dress look promising though, she wore Valentino

Nnique · 10/04/2022 10:05

Tenuous link - I always think Victoria Beckham must absolutely cringe herself inside out anytime she looks at her and David’s wedding photos...

KillingMeDeftly · 10/04/2022 11:00

How is he old enough to get married, I remember when he was BORN!!

Victoria is very chic now but my word she must die when she sees old photos. Then again she does come across in interviews as having a sense of humour so maybe not!
