Evening Royal Style fans!
I hope we can have some fabulous winter fashion and tiara events!

Thanks everyone! Yes, I must get my tiara out of storage - it will go nicely with my earrings while I’m building flat pack furniture 😂

Poor Amalia, that’s such a shame for her.

It's sad that all of the younger royals can't have a short time to just be a student and enjoy that little bit of independence.

They do.
William went to uni, as did Beatrice and Eugenie I think. Louise has been working in a garden centre and is off to uni soon.

Harry joined the army and served in Afghanistan.
Andrew was in the navy.
Even the late queen lived a "normal" life in Malta when she was a newly wed.

The Luxembourgs are on a stamp!

Stephanie looks lovely on it, but I feel that it would be much improved by featuring our thread mascot as well!

I have ordered something from The House of Bruar, I am going to pretend I am minor royalty when I wear it.

KillingMeDeftly · 17/10/2022 21:02

I want a cashmere hat and all roads seem to be leading to HoB...

DisforDarkChocolate · 17/10/2022 21:05

Go for it @KillingMeDeftly

Eaumyword · 17/10/2022 21:50

Just had a google and they look lovely!
If it's the cashmere beanies, they are gorgeous.
Of course, if you want to look "very county", you'd have to go for the felt trilby in brown or green, but I imagine you're happy to settle for warm, pretty and on trend 😉😂

MotherofPearl · 17/10/2022 21:50

I bought a little charcoal grey merino sweater from HoB this very day!

DisforDarkChocolate · 17/10/2022 21:56

I have gone for a boiled wool coat in the sale, I am a sucker for green cIothing. I must admit the knitwear looked lovely.

KillingMeDeftly · 17/10/2022 22:11

Definitely not intending to go "county" @Eaumyword. My preferred style is more Meghan than Princess Anne!

There are so many styles of cashmere hat that I don't know which one to go for!!

Camilla looked elegant in black lace when she presented the Booker Prize last night, though sadly (for me) she had left her pearls at home.

KillingMeDeftly · 18/10/2022 20:24

Letizia and Felipe are on a state visit to Germany and she looks fabulous in this red Stella McCartney gown. No tiara but her earrings are immense!

Leti looks very elegant, as per.
Great earrings 👍

Gorgeous gown, gorgeous colour.

The Court Jeweller features the beautiful Meiji tiara belonging to Empress Michiko. She looks very elegant in the white dress, I think.

Lovely pictures of Michiko. The women from the Japanese imperial family often look as though they are from an earlier time rather than the 21st century, but always very elegant.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/10/2022 07:57

There are some wonderful photos of Michiko all gowned and tiaraed up in her youth but the women of the Imperial family seem to dress more conservatively now.

They've mastered the art of anti-ageing though. Masako and Crown Princess Kiko are pushing 60 but still look in their forties!

susiebluebell · 19/10/2022 08:00

Those photos of Empress Michiko have just opened up a new royal style rabbithole for me. I'm ashamed to say I was vaguely aware that Japan still had an imperial family, but nothing beyond that. Fascinating that they wear western formal dress sometimes! I wonder when that started? The motorcade is a very British touch too.

She looks absolutely perfect in that tiara and white cape dress. I really can't fault it. drool 😁

susiebluebell · 19/10/2022 08:01

Oooh, just realised I could nab that Meiji Tiara, unless anyone else already has?! (And wants to share, ahem!)

KillingMeDeftly · 19/10/2022 09:03

A young Michiko as Crown Princess visiting the Eisenhowers in another great tiara.

gluenotsoup · 19/10/2022 09:59

I love the Meiji tiara, beautiful. Leti looks very elegant there, she really didn’t need tiara with those earrings! I like her hair there too, she’s still going natural.

MotherofPearl · 19/10/2022 10:32

Lovely glimpses of the Japanese royal tiaras.

Leti looks amazing in the Stella McCartney gown. Here are a few more images of their visit to Germany. I like the navy Hugo Boss skirt and blouse combo. As for those heels out on what look like cobbles! Shock

Max is in Tanzania. I like her earrings.

@susiebluebell - Meiji tiara ✔️

Wearing a brooch today so thought if you all. I think I might have posted a picture of this one before - it's one of my favourites. I'm hoping my tweedy blazer is 'very county'!

Leti looking incredible in her red leather Hugo Boss!
