Royal Style: Make Do and Mend, or Go Big and Spend?.

[Maireas]

New thread!
Thanks for the title, Deftly!

Camilla looking great - love the shade of blue. Love Kate's hat, not loving the coat at all but at least it's a rewear. Looking forward to getting a closer look at Bea's outfit, love the colour - looks like Wolfie is with them 🥰 Louis looks to be in shorts 👀

Looks like some lovely photos of the Church walk online but only on tabloid click bait so far. I'll have to wait for more on mainstream press. Kate looks gorgeous and Louis very cute in his shorts.

Not my favourite green coat of Kate's - I don't like the boob flaps, for want of a better term! I think Beatrice looks the best. No Wessexes though, and where's Princess Anne? Tim was there as were Zara and Peter and their families.

Love Camilla's outfit!

Kate must have at least 5 nicer green coats than this

The Wessexes are in the photo on this thread, at the back, with Prince Andrew.

Oh yes, I see them now. Maybe Anne is unwell.

Oh the BBC one is a video! Bea and Eugenie seem to be avoiding their father.
Love the Wales children

That's a heck of a broach that Camilla has.

Camilla wins the day for me in her petrol blue ensemble, though I'm a bit disappointed with her hat. In fact Kate's is the only stand out hat, she's almost county with her striking feathers! All the other hats are a bit nondescript and boring.

Viscount Severn seems to be having a teenage strop with Edward, so they must be having a typical family Christmas Day in the Wessex household!

I think Kate is sending us a secret message with her rewear of a green coat!

A very merry Christmas to all Royal Fashionistas on these threads, long may our diamonds glitter and our pearls gleam!

Aww I could eat him

Ah apparently Anne has a cold and that's why she wasn't there. It must be a particularly bad one as she's the "must soldier on" type!

I think Kate looks stunning there and the hat is indeed very county!
Bea looks fab and so does Cams.
The Wales children look adorable.

The earrings are so, so wrong with the whole outfit.
Love Cams' handbag and the beautiful colour.
Eug not doing anything to discount any announcement soon

I think Kate looks lovely. I do think going to watch this as a member of the public is very odd! You would have to be a royal super fan!!!

Do you think Andrew just does what he wants? I'd read he wouldn't be there.

I don't care for the "count(r)y" look so Beatrice wins it for me. The queen looks good too.

Zara won for me. Loved her tweed coat and burgundy accessories. Stylish.

Just dashing on to wish all of the RS&B crew a happy Christmas! I hope you're feeling better now @TangledWebofMincemeatDeception.

I'm off to look at the Sandringham photos.

Came across this on Instagram - QE assessing jewelry looks like early 60's maybe? INSTAGRAM

Raising a 🍷 to all RS&B alumna . It’s been a fun 3 years with my gang if royal enthusiasts. I’ve learned, I’ve laughed, I’ve marvelled at the sheer number of green coats one woman can own…

Bea wins it for me today, love the green. She could lend to Kate when done with it 😂

I'm sure it's lovely if you see it in-person IYSWIM, but from a distance it looks like she's wearing a name badge.

Loved Bea's coat, she has really upped her style game. I read somewhere that she is very petite, so her clothes must be expertly tailored to fit her height and frame, a coat like that could really swamp her, same with the coat she wore to Kate's carol service, unless they are made bespoke for her.

I actually really liked Kates coat and loved the hat, I thought it looked really appropriate for a christmas morning service.

Camilla seems to always looks great, love the blue colour. Sophie Wessex has also pulled a few really nice outfits together, I love the cream wrap coat she wore.

Did anyone else think Kate had run out of time to do her hair, no curls and it looked a bit choppy and uneven. Love the video of Louis running to catch up with Charlotte.

I thought the Princess of Wales looked stunning. I didn’t care for the style of the coat but the colour was great on her and the hat looked fantastic.

Yes, I liked Kate's coat and hat, which I thought looked chic. Also - no spike heels! Hurrah.
I thought everyone else looked good, I liked the Queen's outfit and thought Bea looked good, loved her outfit.
