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

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread! Link to follow...

Bob not bib

Green was very popular.

Rare hat for Letti.

Green for the Queen too.

Catherine

Leti's looks like an Emilia W that Kate has 2 of

His official livery was dark green I believe.

Bea and Eug look beautiful. And so does India Hicks. I love Bea's velvet Mary Janes.

@SickAndTiredAgain

His official livery was dark green I believe.

Yes, sorry I just read the family chose Edinburgh green to honour P. Philip.

It must have been difficult to know what to wear. There is a mixture of some people in black but most not. Some hats but again if they did they mostly kept them small. Though Sarah Chatto went for a flying saucer hat. Not sure I like it.

Lots of really stylish and appropriate outfits today I think.

I love Sarah Chatto's outfit, but then I do love her style and a lot of it is closest to what I wear regularly (cardigans and full skirts!).

Some more pics

I'm afraid I always chuckle when I see photos of Freddie Windsor, bringing to mind as they do comments on here about garrets and absinthe!

Max's cape looks rather splendid.

My favourite of all of them was Leti, also loved Bea and Eug. Zara a bit mundane, usual style coat with high collar. Kate... I'm still pissed of with her over the yellow frock horror... but this was a bit better. New style of hat for her, I quite liked it. I'm guessing the more junior royals Kate, Zara et al were told not to wear green - otherwise it would have looked a bit ridiculous! I haven't seen any pics where George and Charlotte didn't look mightily pissed off to be there 😆 I would have left all the kids at home, but I'm guessing HMQ wanted them there. Unfortunately for them, they are going to have to start getting used to this kind of thing... comes with the territory 😕

Charlotte gave a small smile walking into the church I think.

Max's cape looks rather splendid.

I think that's my favourite outfit. Max looks fabulous in that cape.

Freddie's hairline is going the same way as William's. They look quite alike now.

I thought Kate's hat was very striking - made her look a bit like Carmen Santiago!

@susiebluebell have you chosen yourself a tiara?

I got such strong Diana vibes from Kate today. The dress, the hat, her stature - so 80s and so Diana.

I didn’t realise there was a memo about the green. I thought they’d all just turned up in the same thing!

I absolutely love Kate's look at the service today. The cut and drape of the fabric is lovely, the shoulder detail adds just enough interest, and the hat is wonderful.

I also like Beatrix of the Netherlands, very old school European style, even down to her hat pin, lovely. Max was stylish in black and grey, though I was disappointed in her hat.

Camilla looked so much better without her boots, and I liked the detail on her coat, though I didn't like her hat, she would have been better with a softer silhouette, perhaps some curved feathers.

I've not seen many photographs yet, but it was nice that Her Maj was able to be there. I wouldn't be surprised if she goes downhill very quickly now.

I’ve just written a long post and put it in the wrong thread 🤦🏻‍♀️

I didn’t realise there was a memo about the green. I thought they’d all just turned up in the same thing!

I assume at these events there is lots of consultation before hand so they don't turn up in literally the same thing.

Glue copy it and paste it here.

It’s Edinburgh Green, the colour of his personal livery, and the colour of the Land Rover that carried the coffin. It’s a nod to that, and interestingly seems to be worn mostly by the most senior Royal women from many countries today.
😊=smug face cos I predicted it.
