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!

Yes wearing those type of gloves is so elegant.

I've just come across a little thread about tiaras on the The Royals board & it's a nice thread but lots of questions about the tiaras & other jewellery so I've invited the posters to come & join us here - to meet the experts. (Well I didn't put the experts bit as didn't want to sound like I was showing off but we are experts!)

Good call, Tracy! So much knowledge on here, someone's sure to help!

@SenecaFallsRedux i love those gloves too. I had elbow length ones for my wedding. I used to wear those type of gloves out with an evening dress to work “dinner dances” etc in 90s but I don’t think people dress up that much any more.
@Gazelda yes I did the same with a necklace too when I was about 9 luckily it was only paste. So I didn’t give anything to my daughter until she was a bit older. My mother also gave me her crochet lace wedding gloves when I was about 16 and I dyed them black and ruined them, I still regret this to this day 😔

Leti had gloves too I think, though I'm not sure what length. I saw a picture (I think it was her) and she was holding them.

I think there is considerable etiquette around glove length and when they should be worn.

I checked that thread out, Tracey, and posted that I hope Charles, known to be a jewellery afficionado, will encourage the ladies to start wearing more from the vaults. I would love to see Camilla wear Victoria’s oriental circlet, and Kate the Queen’s sapphire tiara.

I know how Charles loves to see his female relatives enjoy the bling, so I hope it all gets worn and enjoyed! (as per our last thread title....)

The Vladimir tiara with the emerald drops would look absolutely beautiful on Kate.

I expect the above tiara is spoken for, @Maireas?

I just saw a photo of Carole Middleton. She looks different. I can't put my finger on what it is.

I'm consulting The Spreadsheet of Tiaras and Other Bling as we speak....

I’m still so envious that someone (don’t remember who...) managed to nab themselves a sceptre!!

It appears that the Vladimir is unclaimed!

Is it the photo from the Abbey yesterday @LadyEloise1? I saw the one of her entering with her DH and thought she looked different but put it down to her hair being swishy and softer somehow.

Ohhhh please may I have it, in that case!

Can I suggest the next title includes something like HMQ and her diamonds are forever?

Love it 👍

Could you imagine that on top of Kate’s dark tresses? It would look stunning.

Failing that the hairy member of the house deserves a blingy collar so… 😁

That’s fabulous. And more importantly, I think HMQ would have approved, since she worked with the man himself!

@NiqueNique : Emerald Drop Vladimir Tiara ✔️

Ah thank you 💐 I shall wear it every day until Tuesday, in honour of Elizabeth II. 👑

😊😊

I would love to see some if the less Wien jewels make an appearance! I didn’t know Charles likes to see them being worn, so hopefully he’ll throw the vault doors open and they can see the light of day.
There’s only really Kate, Camilla and Sophie to wear them though. Maybe Beatrice could step up, and Eug, they both looked fab in their wedding bling. And Bea always has good shoes

Less worn… stupid phone😳

I'd love to see them worn. There must be so many we haven't even seen. The Queen Mothers Strathmore (?)tiara is one that comes to mind.

Maybe they could even start a new brooch trend

We must be due lots of State visits to the new King. Frocks and rocks as far as the eye can see.......
And the Coronation 👑👑👑👑👑👑

I fervently hope that Sophie’s role as one of the stalwarts of the family unit is rewarded with a few more tiaras made available for her use.
