I’m not a fan of purple, it’s always the Quality Street big one in my head 😁. I agree the shape of the skirt is too wide for Max and it ends up a bit boxy, the length would probably be ok with a different cut.
Here is the list of the world Royals we can expect to see at today’s memorial in addition to the usuals. I really hope to see HM able to attend.

Hello all, can I join? I've followed the last couple of threads and they are just so enjoyable!

I'm off today and settled in front of the TV to watch Prince Philip's memorial Smile

Looking forward to some more royal looks today!

hopeishere · 29/03/2022 11:16

Bea and Eugenie both looking lovely. As does Zara.

Mariposa67 · 29/03/2022 11:23

Louise looks very pretty. Especially her hair. It looks like she is starting to find her own style.

Eaumyword · 29/03/2022 11:31

Hi @susiebluebell - welcome to our lovely place!
Can't wait to see some royal style today, off for a google.

KillingMeDeftly · 29/03/2022 11:34

Kate appears to be in black or dark grey with a large hat. George and Charlotte are there too.

HMQ, Anne and Camilla are all in green.

KillingMeDeftly · 29/03/2022 11:34

No wait, Kate is wearing black with white polka dots. Alessandra Rich again?

KillingMeDeftly · 29/03/2022 11:37

And India Hicks is in a grey dress slit to upper thigh!

LadyEloise1 · 29/03/2022 11:38

Oh my ! Doesn't Max look stylish.

Mariposa67 · 29/03/2022 11:44

The Queen looks so tiny. I got quite a shock when I saw her and a lump in my throat. But very elegant

hopeishere · 29/03/2022 11:52

Kate looks lovely! Penny Mountbatten is a very elegant woman.

Serenster · 29/03/2022 12:01

Aww, the Queen is wearing a brooch that Philip gave her as a present. Sad

OMGTTC · 29/03/2022 12:07

@Mariposa67 me too Sad I’m glad she’s been able to make it to the service though.

Serenster · 29/03/2022 12:08

Just catching up with the attendees - Leti looking very elegant in forest green (clearly the unofficial dress code, given how many people have worn it) and a hat! She almost never wears hats. Maxima also looks elegant and has some amazing grey pearl jewellery. Sophie Winkleman also looks lovely.

Kate’s outfit is definitely another 80s throwback, but I like it, overall.

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 29/03/2022 12:13

So much green! Is it his favourite colour or significant in some way? The floral arrangements aren’t very nice.

Runningupthecurtains · 29/03/2022 12:14

Serenster I was just debating if I dare say I think Leti looks lovely as she in a coat dress! she looks really stylish in it (I think) but I know they are a bit of a no no in these parts. Max is looking fabulous Max, stylish, appropriate but still very her.

Whitney168 · 29/03/2022 12:21

Camilla wins the outfits for me today - she really does have her style sorted, nearly always a tweak on her usual coat-dress theme, but great colours and love the detailing on the front of that.

What an accomplished speaker Doyin was on the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.

Northernlurker · 29/03/2022 12:26

Yes that's the Grima ruby brooch. How lovely.

RomainingCalm · 29/03/2022 12:55

Haven't seen many of the pictures yet but some very elegant and lovely outfits.

I really like Kate's dress and hat - it's got a touch of the Eliza Doolittle about it but much nicer than the coat dresses. Nice to see George and Charlotte.

I'm now off to trawl for pictures.

KillingMeDeftly · 29/03/2022 13:00

Camilla's left the boots at home! Edward hasn't done the same for his double-breasted suit but I think we'll have to give up on that one unless Sophie throws them on a bonfire when he's not looking!

Welcome to the team!
paradyning · 29/03/2022 13:29

There is just so much to look at!!
Love the little great grand daughters' outfits.
Love Leti and Max.
Admire Kate's style change!
Sophie's head dress is looking a bit Anne of Cleeves from some angles!!

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 29/03/2022 13:36

Watching on catch up. HMQ is looking frail Sad which I know isn’t a huge surprise given her age.

Thought it was interesting but correct that PA accompanied her as it meant he didn’t walk through the cathedral. He had to be there and seemed an appropriate solution?

Lovely to see all of the family and the visiting royals.

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 29/03/2022 13:37

On their way in, did anyone notice B & A bib their heads to Princess Anne? Is that because she’s a more senior royal?
