Thanks @Maireas. What have we got to look forward to? State Visits? Advent/Carol Services?

Checking in!🥳

Those little boots were very sweet.

[Spudlet]

Tiny, cute boots are the main reason for having small children, IMO 😂

[Maireas]

Tomorrow, @chesterelly1 ! South African President. I hear that there's a banquet 🤞

[XanaduKira]

Thanks for the new thread.

@Maireas Thank you for the new thread. 💐

[ShamedBySiri]

Thanks for the new thread.

This must be the first state banquet for our new King and Queen?

I wonder if Camilla will be personally checking the table has been beautifully made etc as I believe our beloved HMQ used to do?

And I would so love to know who is now agreeing what tiaras and associated bling the royal Ladies get to wear. I'd really love to know all the details of how they are removed from (I assume) the vault deep in the bowels of Buck Pal and delivered to the individuals wearing them as they are all dressed up for photographers snatching a preview as the guests are driven in. It must involve a lot of coordinating security.

Thank you as always @Maireas. Here's hoping for some bling tomorrow evening (and good photos!).

[KillingMeDeftly]

I wonder whether we'll see rewears or new gowns tomorrow night?

New gowns might be a bit tone deaf. A seamstress could work wonders with alterations to suit. And of course lots of Preloved bling. I'd love to see queen Mary's pearls etc get an airing. Didn't Max wear those waist things stomachers? Dig them out ladies 💝

[justasking111]

Now I just love these earrings ❤️

[KillingMeDeftly]

Kate could repeat either her ice-blue (though not her best colour) or green gowns from the Caribbean tour. The pink one is probably not formal enough. Though it might be a bit chilly in the palace for sleeveless or off the shoulder dresses.

My goodness Etsy stomachers.

Anyone remember putting clip on earrings on their shoes?

Anyone remember putting clip on earrings on their shoes?

I do! Wow, that brings back memories. My grandmother left me a treasure trove of clip-on earrings. I still have them somewhere.

Not a royal wedding but Joe Biden's granddaughter got married at the White House over the weekend. Some lovely photos to look at while we are waiting for the state banquet!

[AdaColeman]

The BBC News website has an interesting article with an introduction about Naomi Biden, but then goes on to show many of the other brides who have married at The White House with some lovely old photos.
Search BBC News >> World >> USA/Canada >> "Naomi Biden: Biden's grand daughter to marry at The White House."

As the now Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate may be given South African orders as part of the State Visit (not a problem they’ve had to grapple with before!) so that may well make things more complicated. The Queen’s SA Order of Good Hope sash was green and gold which would probably rule out an ice blue dress, but the green strapless one from the Caribbean could be in the running. Anyway, we’ll wait and see - I think Charles will almost certainly be given the order but others might not…

I’d love to see Camilla in Queen Victoria’s Oriental Ruby Circlet, but the rubies might not work with SA’s colours.

Oh and I see from the internet that Charlene of Monaco was wearing a wide black belt over her long white dress when she left the palace on National Day but somehow in the car journey between there and the church it broke, so she just kept calm, removed it, and doubtless had a good laugh later over all the WTF?? Responses to her outfit. 🤣

suddenly the outfit makes more sense know you say that. Whoever described her as a star wars nun was bang on!

[Serenster]

Star Wars nun! 🤣🤣

Here is a screengap of how she looked before she got in the car.

Nobody expects the Charlene Inquisition!
