I had no idea the Lord Mayor of London was so posh. My friend's uncle was Lord Mayor a few years ago.

I love Bea's outfit. Eugenie's orange is very bright but looks excellent on her.

You're right @DisforDarkChocolate, I think it is blush.

Love Kate's dress. Such a pretty colour, and an interesting detail in front. Hat is pretty but standard for her.

susiebluebell · 03/06/2022 11:16

Kate in pale yellow! The cut is nothing special for her, though fits her beautifully, but the shade is lovely!

NiqueNique · 03/06/2022 11:16

Beautiful colour on Kate! Suits her and isn’t too harsh.

The Duke of Kent is looking very old (i sound like my mother in law). Im glad the Queen still has a few people from her own generation around. I wonder how the Duchess is, they were always in the royal box in Wimbledon. When I was small we had a book with pictures of their wedding, and Princess Alexandras wedding.

He really does.

Princess Michael is looking much frailer too. I love that she still loves her foofy hats.

Maireas · 03/06/2022 11:17

I really like Meghan's coat, a nice shape, not fussy and with an elegant hat.
Anne looks good in that sort of sea green.

Favourite looks: love Gabriella Windsor, Sophie Winkleman, Zara Tindall. Meghan looks good.
I agree @KillingMeDeftly about Eugenie's high neckline not being the best for her. I'm not a fan of orange as an outfit colour, but her hair&makeup are beautiful.
Kate looks beautiful and elegant as ever. I love those hats she wears with flowers to the side.

DisforDarkChocolate · 03/06/2022 11:18

Katherine is looking fantastic. I must admit I hate theses hats with the massive flower under the brim though.

KillingMeDeftly · 03/06/2022 11:18

@JustLyra I think the Duke of Kent has been duke longer than HMQ has been queen! His father died when he was very young.

GrouchyKiwi · 03/06/2022 11:18

Camilla looks very elegant. Understated hat for her. Grin

KillingMeDeftly · 03/06/2022 11:19

Kate hasn't worn yellow very much before has she? She looks good and I like the wrap detailing.

JustLyra · 03/06/2022 11:21

He has. He was 5 or 6 when he became Duke, Prince Michael was only a few weeks old. He was one of the Royal Dukes at the Coronation.

It’s funny that he’s been Duke longer, but is actually a full 10 years younger than her.

Eaumyword · 03/06/2022 11:21

Yy to the lovely wrap detail and fit on Kate. She looks beautiful in yellow.
I like Cam's outfit.
This is so exciting to see so much royal fashion after a long couple of years!

dolphinsarentcommon · 03/06/2022 11:23

Camilla looks great I think. Seems to have upped her 'regalness' (wrong word, can't think of another) as her role gets bigger

susiebluebell · 03/06/2022 11:24

Sadly I have to take the dog out now as he is going bonkers, but I feel I've seen all the important bits now! Slight twinge of sadness that all the arrivals weren't capped by the Queen arriving.

NiqueNique · 03/06/2022 11:25

She’s worn yellow a fair few times but she usually goes too pale for my liking (although I still like it it on her) - this is my favourite shade she’s worn, just right for her colouring and hair. She looked very elegant as usual and yes, I agree the wrap detailing looks good.

Meghan, too, did very well. Simple but exactly right, elegant, fitted her well from what I could see and again, a lovely colour for her colouring imo.

Everyone has done really well today I think, plenty of lovely outfits. I hope we get to see the family interacting a bit too, and some genuine warmth between the brothers especially and hopefully the sisters in law too - this isn’t a time for familial feuding. Let bygones be bygones!

AtillatheHun · 03/06/2022 11:27

Check meghan’s earrings - some serious bling there for daytime! (Her dress seems tight around the arms/ shoulder - looks uncomfortable)

NiqueNique · 03/06/2022 11:27

@susiebluebell do you know, I ‘knew’ full well her majesty wasn’t going to be there today but I still automatically expected it and was anticipating her arrival, last, and only realised after reading your comment that of course it wasn’t to be! The Queen has been a constant for 70 years, always there.

eggandonion · 03/06/2022 11:29

I suspect the Queen and Angela are having a nice cup of tea and discussing everyone.
It must be strange not being there, and i hope relaxing. I wonder would Camilla prefer to be with them.
I wonder can Harry and Meghan have more outings now. Princess Anne and Kate always seem to chat.

Maireas · 03/06/2022 11:31

HM is watching in Windsor, hopefully with a cuppa and her feet up. She's a stickler for detail, though, so folks had better get it right!
I agree that there are some gorgeous outfits today, the Kents and Gloucesters all looking good.

It was rather touching and quite emotional to see HM and Louis interacting so much on the balcony yesterday. A strong sense of the passage of time and the younger generations stretching into the future when one is very elderly. Poignant.

She’ll not have been impressed at the glitch with the Sussexes seats position and their placement in the procession.

and even though it was only on the high camera that you could see it, you know she’ll have caught it

AtillatheHun · 03/06/2022 11:36

@JustLyra what glitch?
beatrice also looks to be wearing evening earrings - lots of diamonds; not very church service appropriate

What do you mean by this? I think you're stirring.
