Royal Style - make way for the Platinum Jubilee, tiaras are a necessity

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread, will send a link

I bet Highgrove has every comfort going. Charles has never been one to skimp on luxuries!

Meanwhile I suspect Buckingham
Palace, Windsor and Balmoral are cold, never have enough hot water and the beds are lumpy!

I do agree with this totally, but Balmoral wins for me just by virtue of being in the Highlands, so do put me down for it!! 😂😂

Oohh what fun to have a Royal Palace!
Please put me down for Sanssouci, Frederick the Great’s summer palace in Potsdam. Who can resist a bit of Rococo flamboyance!

I’ll take Drottninghom, thank you very much. On a peaceful island a short boat trip from central Stockholm, not too big and with lovely grounds.

Gosh wouldn't it be great if we could have a thread meet up in one of newly acquired palaces! We would obviously also wear our tiaras.

I'm more than happy to settle for Frogmore (House not Cottage...!!)😂
Cosier but still elegant!
Yes, Charles wouldn't stint on his comforts so I bet Highgrove is the best nab of the lot.

I'd arranged to meet a friend for lunch in Manchester City centre and our agreed rendezvous point was outside Central Library. Just got here to find the main entrance fenced off, lots of security and apparently Camilla is here for an event and expected any moment! Should I stake out the scene? I don't think the friend I'm meeting will be terribly sympathetic to my interest in this!

Awaiting an update from MotherofPearl our Roving Royal Reporter!

Hello! Found you, at last.
@MotherofPearl - stake it out😂. I’m about 20 minutes away from you, as long as you don’t mind poorly dd tagging along. Camilla likes kids doesn’t she? 😊

TBH MotherOfPearl if you don't, you should probably forfeit a tiara. Or at least have it confiscated for a week.

@MotherofPearl What a question to ask. Of course you should stake it out. Could you ask C nicely whether Highgrove might be available for a tiara-wearing meet-up?

Gutted to say I missed her! We hovered around for a while but had to give up as we didn't have long for lunch. There's currently a photographic exhibition at the library about DV, so it makes sense that she was there, as that's one of her key causes. I found this image online.

Hopping aboard - can I have Windsor??

That's very exciting, @MotherofPearl ! We need to develop a secret sign so that Camilla, Kate, Sophie et al will know who it's us and give us special access.

The worst thing about missing Cams is having missed the chance to see The Boots IRL! Looks like she's wearing them.

Oh, I think you're OK to hang on to your tiara, @MotherofPearl, seeing as you did try, and then found a photo for us instead

It's a shame you couldn't ask Camilla where her boots are from, as they are are obviously very hard-wearing, yet comfortable!

Do you think she has more than one (identical) pair of boots? I've done that with really comfy shoes in the past. Such a pity you didn't get to see them...maybe next time👢

Thanks @Maireas for using my suggestion for the thread title. It is truly an honour. I just hope it lasts long enough...

I reckon so pussycat. She's had that black pair for ages and they still look in good condition, so I'm sure she must have multiple pairs.

May I have Fort Belvedere please before William and Kate bags it, apparently they have been eyeing it up.
It already has an Irish connection as Hilary Weston who has lived there for many years is Irish, born and reared ( I think ).

Kate at the Design Museum today. I'd have left the belt off given the sleeves. She has nice earrings on. I like the fabric and colour.

So many dresses have those annoying arm bows these days. I keep seeing lovely things and then discovering the ties. I hates them, my precious.

Otherwise, I love that outfit. I'd keep the belt and lose the extra arm fabric.

I really like the colour and the fabric. I don't like her hair ironed like that, though.

I wouldn't have chosen those shoes and bag.

Dark tan or 'oxblood' for me
