Lovely photo of Max Wax and their girls, though I think it would have been even better without the dog.
I like the way the dresses aren't too similar, yet still have a casual, unified look, without being over coordinated which is a trap Kate & Camilla often fall into.

I expect she will wear ceremonial uniform.

It seems KC has been reading and has listened to our admonitions - it’s been announced that there is to be plenty of pomp and circumstance at the Coronation. Surely it’s an appropriate occasion to wear some ‘new’ tiaras!

If there’s a sudden global shortage of green coat fabric, we’ll all know why 😂

I think some photos of Thread Mascot Charles are just what we need to really get into the festive spirit here on RS&B. I'm looking forward to the arrival of the new Lux baby in 2023 too.

Husband out of the blue this evening asked me if I had noticed Charles wardrobe had changed for the better since he became king. He's much smarter.

I hadn't 🤭

KillingMeDeftly · 22/12/2022 19:43

Much smarter? Charles was pretty smart already! He's always been a dapper dresser.

Thank you, @MotherofPearl - we're always grateful for pictures of our mascot! He is so cute.

Exactly. He's always been a dapper chap!

I think perhaps it's because we are seeing a lot more of Charles in the news now, and almost always he is dressed quite formally. So if you were not much of a Royal watcher, you might think that Charles had changed his style.

Lovely pic of Mascot Charles 💕
Also a fab pic of Max and family. I like the dog addition - it looks wriggly!

Hope you don't mind if I post occasionally - I really enjoy royal style.

I think Kate is slightly allergic to horses, isn't she? So she won't be on horseback at the Trooping of the colour but she might be there anyway.

Welcome!! Have you chosen a tiara yet?

KillingMeDeftly · 22/12/2022 21:07

I don't think I've ever seen a pic of Kate riding. Not sure she's the horsey type.

Maireas · 22/12/2022 21:14

You're right, Kate is allergic to horses.
The report said that neither Kate nor Camilla would wear a uniform nor take part in the parade..

KillingMeDeftly · 22/12/2022 21:22

Let's face it, it's really only Anne and Zara who inherited the late Queen's love of horses.

SenecaFallsRedux · 22/12/2022 22:48

I think Camilla is an accomplished horsewoman, but I don't expect to see her in a uniform up on a horse anytime soon.

justasking111 · 22/12/2022 22:58

Wouldn't it be lovely to see Anne and Zara riding together.

@justasking111 love those pictures! 🐎

Eaumyword · 22/12/2022 23:05

Camilla is definitely brilliant around horses.
Any Osteoporosis/Arthritis diagnosis means that riding (falling off) would be a bad idea.
I'm a fan of Cams and Kate, but glad if they don't don a uniform - it seems a little silly to me, I know they're symbolically heading things up, but feel they can do it just as well without a uniform if they haven't 'earned it' by serving in the forces.
That is not including Kate's many coats of green, which will come into their own I'm sure!😂

Eaumyword · 22/12/2022 23:06

Absolutely love those horsey photo's!💕

MarshaMelrose · 23/12/2022 01:13

Aw, the Queen loved her horses. I've loved the occasional behind the scene documentaries she duid that showed her with animals: horses, pets, farm animals. She was really knowledgeable and interested.
Oh, I miss her. In her bright colours and her big brooches, and her tartan skirts and her crowns and her headscarves. 😪
I luved the Queen, I really did.

themessygarden · 23/12/2022 05:00

Love Kates top, would love to see her full length outfit. She is glowing.

What I don't understand is why the models in these places look so miserable. Surely they'd sell more clothes if they looked happy in what they're wearing?
