Can't say I'm keen on either of those ensembles - Sophie's dress is too 80s and Beatrice looks like the dentist on the USS Enterprise.

LadyEloise1 · 15/06/2022 18:01

Yes @MotherofPearl, the lipstick looks nice on her but it was a much paler colour today.
My Mum is the same - lipstick, a tiny bit of foundation and no eye make up at all.

Did anyone spot the bracelets Camilla is wearing. Not sure if there's a meaning behind them. Interesting though

susiebluebell · 15/06/2022 19:52

Not a fan of the odd cut of Bea's dress, though I like the cream colour and the hat is great too.

What's with the fabric of Edo's tailcoat? Looks like very soft cotton that has gone a bit crumply. I'd have expected a stiffer fabric.

I have enjoyed seeing the oceans of top hats and tails actually; it's rare that men look really fancy!

We have been spoilt these last few weeks - so much royal fashion to look at.

Here is Sarah Chatto looking lovely at Ascot today, in... a cropped-cardigan-and-skirt combo!

The Norwegians are apparently holding a gala dinner on Friday for Ingrid's 18th, with lots of European royals present. Hopefully there will be lots of gowns and tiaras on show.

MotherofPearl · 15/06/2022 20:22

Oooo, the gala sounds like something to look forward to. Fingers crossed for tiaras!

I love Sarah Chatto's outfit as usual. I don't often see the resemblance with Princess Margaret but I can see it there.

MotherofPearl · 15/06/2022 20:24

I know what you mean @LadyEloise1. All my elderly female relatives are the same - generally no foundation just loose face powder, plus lipstick.

Maireas · 15/06/2022 20:27

I was just about to post the same thing, @MotherofPearl! I've never noted the resemblance before, but in that picture, Sarah does look like Margaret.
Those are her mother's earrings as well, worn to all events, also part of her look!

I do like Sarah Chatto's understated style. I think she has a real Windsor look, like HMQ and obviously Margaret.

Totally agree

SeaRabbit · 15/06/2022 22:31

But when she was younger she looked so like her father! I love the colours she's wearing.

LadyEloise1 · 15/06/2022 23:16

Sarah Chatto has really nailed a signature style.
She looks so like Princess Margaret in that photo

CliffsofMohair · 15/06/2022 23:35

I think Princess Charlotte resembles Sarah Chatto

Justkeeppedaling · 16/06/2022 08:27

CliffsofMohair · 15/06/2022 23:35

I think Princess Charlotte resembles Sarah Chatto

They both look like TQ and PM.

justasking111 · 16/06/2022 08:42

I'm reading a series of novels about the royals during world war two. Am googling images of the royals mentioned. Princess Mary is interesting, in some pictures I see princess Anne in others Princess Margaret. There were some very handsome princes, dukes as well. I hadn't realised two died in plane crashes

gingercat02 · 16/06/2022 09:09

Sarah Chatto does love a cardi! I think she has HMW/PM eyes and her Fathers jaw

Justkeeppedaling · 16/06/2022 11:33

Anne has hardly any grey hair and she's in her 70s. Lucky woman!

StartupRepair · 16/06/2022 11:51

@justasking111 what are those novels called? My mother and I would love them.

KillingMeDeftly · 16/06/2022 12:13

Justkeeppedaling · 16/06/2022 11:33

Anne has hardly any grey hair and she's in her 70s. Lucky woman!

Surely she must dye it?

Yes, the Duke of Kent (current duke's father) died in a plane crash during the war. I'm not sure who the other royal was. Prince William of Gloucester also died in a plane crash but that was much later, in the 1970s.

MotherofPearl · 16/06/2022 12:27

RE Princess Anne's hair - I don't think she necessarily dyes it (and it would seem out of character). My DM is 74 and has almost no greys and doesn't dye her hair. Sadly I didn't inherit the no-grey gene and have to work hard to keep on top of my roots.

Blondbombsite · 16/06/2022 13:37

Kate’s branched out a bit today in a pink suit. I like it a lot and think her makeup looks lovely too (not always the case). Does anyone else think she’s had some dental work recently?

Royal Style - here's to 70 more years of frocks and rocks!
KillingMeDeftly · 16/06/2022 13:40

Oh she looks really nice - very fresh and summery.

Maybe some teeth whitening?

dolphinsarentcommon · 16/06/2022 13:41

@Blondbombsite I thought exactly the same re the dental work, and the make up.

I liked the pink jacket when I saw her sitting behind a desk.. I don't like the full suit though, it's just too.... pink
