Has someone claimed her wedding tiara? I'll nab it if not, although if memory serves someone has it already. I loved absolutely everything about her wedding outfit.

Called into a charity shop this morning, came away with a little silver bow brooch. Slippery slope 🙈

That's so pretty! I have a few brooches - I'll try and take some photos when next I'm wearing one.

Eugene looking lovely that day.

I thought her evening dress simply breathtaking

That Swedish dinner! The Scandinavian royals are often praised for being low key. They are really not!
Love that little silver brooch.

LadyEloise1 · 13/10/2022 09:35

@StartupRepair
I agree with your comments above. Including the one on the pretty brooch. 

@NiqueNique and @banivani are our two Scandanavian Royals correspondents - I love their insights on these threads. .

Surely they can just take the Koh-i-noor diamond off the Queen Mother’s crown? They often get remodelled.

Kate’s out and about today in a vintage Chanel blazer. She could have dived into her mother-in-law’s old wardrobe for this one! (I don’t think she did!).

Looking at Wax’s cape thinking a) it’s a lovely colour and b) is there any occasion where I might be able to make something like that work?! Wink Grin

Yes totally get away with this at Xmas 🤶😃 just swan up to office Xmas do/ lunch !
I refuse to just wear an Xmas jumper Christmas Day and am usually found in red or green posh vintage velvet dress, plus best jewellery, I don’t go anywhere else now to wear them.

According to the DM, Camilla won't be wearing the Queen Mother's crown in May due to the controversy over the diamond....in the name of diplomatic relations, I suggest they take it off and give it to us instead.

Also, they've suggested she might wear Queen Victoria's coronet, but I'm a bit concerned they might mean the one I nobbled a couple of weeks ago on our previous thread, and I might have plans to wear it on the 6th. One, it's food shop day so I might need it for the Tesco run and two, it's a friend's 40th so you know, evening party dress attire required.

😂😂 absolutely, one never knows who one is going to bump into at Tesco !

That’s so pretty, can I ask what you’re going to wear it on please ? Sorry I’m just nosey, It’s just that no one seems to wear proper wool coats very much now. That looks delicate enough to wear on a cardi/jumper though.
@NiqueNique mmm the equerry very dashing , and what a large sporran ! I already have one Scotsman at home so wouldn’t want to be greedy, sadly he doesn’t get to wear his kilt very often.

gluenotsoup · 13/10/2022 17:04

I loved both of Eugenies dresses for her wedding, and especially the tiara and earrings.
Kate looks nice today, but the trousers were a teensy bit too long or the heels were lower than usual, and they dragged a bit. Not that I can be particularly picky, as I am currently rocking a pair of slightly too short leggings with hideous the-only-clean-pair-I-could-find socks… 😂.
I did spot these today on the Cox and Cox website and thought of you all prepping for Christmas 🙂

Love the little bow brooch. I have a flower spray that I have only worn on my wedding day on my bag, but would love to be able to wear it with something lovely 😊

LadyEloise1 · 13/10/2022 17:17

I wear a brooch on my Uniqlo quilted coat.
I love brooches and have quite a few. Debenhams used to be a great place for buying a pretty brooch.

Serenster · 13/10/2022 17:28

I was working in the office today and wore a brooch on my blazer. It’s whimsical rather than jewellery though - resin rather than sparkley!

Maireas · 13/10/2022 17:34

Yes, I wear jackets to work and wear one on my lapel. I've quite a collection from my late mother and aunts, not really valuable, but pretty and some quirky ones. My mum wore a brooch every day. I'm carrying on the tradition.

Kate looking good today in Chanel from 1995 according to the Mail

I don't like the flappy trousers. I'm not sure that gorgeous blue suits her.

CliffsofMohair · 13/10/2022 18:19

gluenotsoup · 12/10/2022 21:55

It’s a shame the blue dress didn’t photograph well. It looks nice otherwise.
Now… hot Johnny must have a very important role in every occasion KC is photographed, I insist. (Is there any room left in the airing cupboard…?😍)

Shall he be henceforth be simply known as ‘hot Johnny’ 😁

frugalkitty · 12/10/2022 23:12

Gorgeous photo from Eugenie's IG as today is their anniversary (I think, it's late!)

Controversial opinion alert but I didn’t like the Greville tiara with the dress. I thought with the neckline of the dress it looked a bit Wonder Woman

KillingMeDeftly · 13/10/2022 18:24

I like Kate's blazer but the trousers look a bit cheap, though I'm sure they're not! I wonder what happened to all Diana's Chanel suits and jackets?

I have some lovely long sheer scarves I'm going to try pinning it on those

Eaumyword · 13/10/2022 18:47

Ooh Kate looks amazing in vintage Chanel. I love that look on her.
I loved Eug's evening dress colour, simply beautiful with her skin tone. But I found the pneumatic bosoms and neckline a little weird personally.
I sometimes wear a small flower corsage at the lapel of a jacket for work. I have quite a collection, including a Chanel camellia!

mikado1 · 13/10/2022 18:50

I don't like the trousers either, they look like the boys' school uniform trousers locally!! The jacket is beautiful. Not mad on the ringlets. Eugenie looks beautiful on wedding day x2 but agree the boobs are a little funny under the camera flash!

KillingMeDeftly · 13/10/2022 18:57

I liked Eugenie's wedding dress but thought it a bit mature for her. She was only in her 20s so could've opted for something a slightly more fun.

Maireas · 13/10/2022 18:58

I really like Kate's jacket, but concur about the trousers, they just didn't go. I didn't like Eugenie's evening wedding dress, it was a strange fit at the bodice, but she looked lovely on the day.

Spudlet · 13/10/2022 19:33

Love that colour jacket on Kate and the fit is perfect - but the trousers are a bit off I agree. A bit too flappy. (She says, rocking a pair of her mum’s old marks and spencer jeans…)

The Scandi royals are so sparkly… take notes, Charles-who-is-not-the-thread-mascot. The people demand bling!
