Royal Style: Elizabeth may be gone, but her diamonds are forever

Evening Royal style and beauty fans.
Into the Carolean era, with more bling we hope! Also more state banquets?

Guessing by Cam's outfit, I'm going to say yes.

Agree, definitely @NiqueNique
My mum says if a lady has that country chic thing going on (tweed, feathers and long boots, natch) that "she looks very county". No idea what that means, but it is ill advised to disagree with my mum 😂
Mum will actually buy tweedy clothes on the basis that she thinks she looks "very county" wearing them. Usually just to Waitrose or her dog club...I love my mum and all her eccentricities!
Love Camilla's outfit there (very county) 😂😂

Yes Charles and Camilla are still in Scotland.

Heh @Eaumyword i like your mum!

I love tweeds, feathers, boots and so on. Your typical Barbour et al. But haven’t got dogs/horses/country pile so it’s just the aesthetic itself for me (although we do live on the edge of rural/farming land, which I absolutely love!). Sadly I’m no longer very slim, so I wouldn’t say I look anything like Kate when I dress like that! Camilla’s a bit more achievable, bless her. 😄

I like that look too. Here in the US, it's fairly easy to achieve thanks to Ralph Lauren, but a bit impractical here in the warm coastal South.

I love autumn clothes, I really don't like the summer.

I like Camilla's tweedy with added pearls look, it reminds me of the Country Casuals style of bygone days, they would have used that very colour combination! I like the jaunty feathers in her hat too, pheasant tail feathers perhaps? There is probably no shortage of pheasant feathers up at Birkhall.
Charles & Camilla are off to Dunfermline early this week, it's where the first King Charles was born.

Charles & Camilla are off to Dunfermline early this week

This is already earworming in my head.

The king sits in Dunfermline toune
drinking the blude reid wine,
"O whar can I get skeely skipper,
To sail this ship o' mine?"

I was just about to quote the same poem!

I like autumnal clothes better in theory than in practice. Lots of layers and cashmere etc look good when I step out the door but I'm roasting by the time I get on the tube!

Oh I love autumn, and I love autumn dressing too! The typical palette is all my favourite colours, so I’m always very happy.

The House of Bruar Winter catalogue is out if anyone fancies having a look at tweeds and country duds 😇

God knows why but I used to get the House of Bruar catalogue and it was hilarious. So much tweed and tartan!

Didn't we share some of those images a while back? I think we had a bit of a giggle!

I was just looking at one of their blankets!!

Oh dear. I'm afraid I have a secret love of HoB.  Not huge swathes of it, but they do some lovely cashmere jumpers and cardigans, tweedy blazers, and I even have a lovely swishy merino dress from them.

I even some some real graduated pearls, but I generally wear them with something less obvious than country casuals, or what I shall now, thanks to @Eaumyword's mum, be calling 'very county'!

I can't confirm whether there are any Royal purchases from House of Bruar but once when we were staying in the McDonald Hotel in Aviemore the shop which is pretty much a smaller HoB wasn't open one morning and when we asked why it was to allow Princess Anne to shop before leaving in a helicopter for her next engagement. We didn't even realise she was staying in the hotel.
Charles & Camilla are visiting the City Chambers to confirm our city status made as part of the Platinum Jubilee, then to Dunfermline Abbey as it is 950 years old. My friend's daughter is a member of a choir singing for them. I have fully briefed her that we need style deets in particular are the boots out yet and what bling is on show.

Oh the boots, how I’ve missed the trusty boots!

I wonder if she’ll treat herself to another pair for A/W this year. She is Queen Consort now, after all...

I had a similar close encounter with Anne when we were staying in Newtonmore a few years back. She was there in connection with her support for equestrian programs for children with disabilities.

I think those colours really suit Cams

I'm here for #bootwatch

I'm sure that when Camilla broke her toe, her first thought was "This would never have happened if I'd been wearing my black boots".

@paradyning they really do, don’t they! She has lovely eyes.

When I broke my toe, my trusty boots were the only footwear I’d consider for ages. I was terrified that someone would tread on my foot and they were sturdy boots!

Camilla is a woman of steel to have been walking around in heels on a broken toe… mind you, she’s not just horsey, she’s a hunting woman. They tend to be pretty much nails. Probably dosed herself up with bute every morning 😂

I broke my little toe many years ago and it hurt for years!
