Royal Style - Farewell, Elizabeth - lady of style

[Maireas]

A sad start to a new thread, but I hope we can celebrate the legacy of Elizabeth Regina, what a woman, and what style!

Thanks! Can we discuss the funeral outfits today?

Thanks for the new thread!

Pleased do! I've just got in from work and haven't seen anything so far!

Hello everyone.

Beautiful procession today.

I am on holiday so missed the procession. Still, I can't complain!

A few photos from today. Quite difficult to find anything to say about the outfits - as well as being moved by the solemnity of the occasion, black is also a bit tricky to see in photos!

Everyone looking pretty great though, in my opinion. The women's outfits might have been co-ordinated a bit?

Everyone looks very dignified. Lots of nice hats / hatbands. Kate maybe went an bit heavy on the blusher.

Everyone looking very smart and appropriate today. I liked Kate's brooch. Some more info on it here.

Thanks, I was just wondering about the brooch.

Thank you @Maireas for the new thread.
Camilla's brooch was a gift from her father apparently. It's very long in length for a brooch - unusual, but not to my taste.
Kate's brooch is BIG.
I wasn't keen on Sophie's dress - there was too much going on. I prefer a simpler, pared back style.

Kate looks really tired (unsurprisingly!) so maybe that’s why she’d slapped the blusher on a bit hard, if she was feeling a bit washed out.

Thanks for the new thread& the title is fittingly perfect @Maireas

I'm sure it looks nice close up, but on some pictures it did look a bit like she was taking a stick insect out for the day.

No Zara, Beatrice or Eugenie in that lineup?

Hello all!
I think everyone looked very appropriate today.
I particularly liked Camilla's lovely hat and Kate always looks fabulous and elegant wearing a veil. I love her brooch.

Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie were to the side of the hall, with the rest of the Royal Family.

Meghan's hat is lovely. She is very beautiful isn't she!

Along with Louise and James. And many others.

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas. I think I was dreaming black outfits last night unless one of you can confirm Camilla had a very boxy black cape on and another lady, not sure who had a black shift with a visible silver zip at the back.

Yes, I noticed Camilla's dress yesterday with the cape detail, I thought it looked very chic.
I hope she's got comfy shoes on today.

Yes, thank you very much for the thread @Maireas. A fitting title for a lovely lady. A monarch, but also just an ordinary woman like you or I whose family meant the world to her and all of whom are suffering now.

@Maireas i think she did have good shoes on - they looked suitably chunky to afford some support and be comfortable enough to wear for some time (although I didn’t look all that closely).

I also thought the Queen Consort’s brooch looked like a stick insect! It’s definitely a striking piece.
