Royal Style: tiaras diamonds and bling, peplums and ruching not our thing

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread! Link to follow...

Thank you for the new thread @Maireas.

Whoever said that the yellow dress was like something Princess Margaret would wear - you were spot on

Thank you for the new thread Maireas.

I bet Kate's glad to be at home with her jammies on and her feet soaking in a bowl.

I'm assuming that the service for Prince Philip will be smart/sombre clothing but not full-on funeral black. I can feel a coat dress coming on...

I think we'd all welcome a good old coatdress - loathe them as we do - after The Yellow Dress (TYD).

I think you're right, @RomainingCalm.
Small blessings, @MotherOfPearl 🙄

I am fully expecting a coat dress. It will be an interesting occasion, I feel a bit guilty looking forward to the clothes at a memorial.
I love the torchlight procession, it looks incredibly atmospheric. I think there is a lot of comfort and stability to be found in the years old traditions that underpin much of people’s national identity, the significance and history is always quite humbling.

I think maybe a coat dress repeat for Tuesday, in grey or navy. I shouldn't think it's the occasion for her to have a fashion face-off with Letizia and Maxima!

I think a rewear too.

Who will have the highest heels?
Kate or Leti?

In fact, didn’t Philip favour dark Edinburgh green? One of the green coats could well make an appearance.

Who is Queen Anne-Marie? I thought I knew them all.

Daisy is a very elegant dresser.

Queen Anne Marie of Greece is Daisy's sister. Wife of Constantine, mother of Pavlos

Ah, of Greece. Thanks ever so, Maireas.

Fergie so many crimes against fashion.

Anne Marie is another stylish lady, and look at those emeralds 😍!

Technically the ex queen of Greece but they do like to hang on to their titles!

They do indeed!

(former Queen) Anne Marie is therefore the sister in law of (actual) Queen Sofia of Spain. I think everyone is a cousin of some sort, actually.

Those are some stonking great emeralds. I approve.

The Erdem was a pregnancy look so luckily unlikely to return.

Anne-Marie has some good jewels, as does her daughter in law.

There was a not inaccurate saying about always keeping your bags packed if you were aiming to be King of Greece. Luckily they mostly packed the jewels too,

She’s worn some hideous dresses over the tour. That hideous yellow dress when she left, that frumpy pink dress with those clumpy wedge shoes. She also needs to cut her hair. It’s massively ageing her. She seems to either look amazing or like my nanna. There seems to be no middle ground with her at all.

Found you have had to sleuth couldn't find the link on the old thread. Off to Google the erdem dress

There was a lovely grey Erdem coat that Kate wore to the Commonwealth Day service a few years ago - it had a black lace pattern embossed onto it - that I’ve always thought she’d rewear for a serious church service. Given it’s likely to be chilly again this week, something like that may be a contender?

just there are some things you do not need to look for on the internet. That Erdem dress is one of them.

Too late 😃😛. In her defence she was pregnant probably not that bothered. Their website is pretty depressing so much money to look like my granny back in the dark ages

Oh my word there are some shockers on display at the Lichtenstein wedding all three women in the middle photo (that aren't the bride) look like they have been challenged to wear the ugliest vintage nightie they can find!
