I will forgive another green coat on PoW because it is gorgeous. The dress is Victoria Beckham. I think she looks fantastic today - big thumbs up from me!!!

Pic attached of QC out and about in another bright coloured dress looking awesome! And of course her trusty boots 😄

The colour of QC's dress is gorgeous.

Adore those suede boots but not with a clashing green coat. Need to see the VB dress!

Spudlet · 31/01/2023 16:51

Ok, another new green coat is INSANE but it’s a good colour and I love the dress and boots. But seriously. Could she not have worn one of the sixty bazillion other green coats….?

I feel mean though because it’s clearly a good cause she’s promoting, so 🤷‍♀️

TangledWebOfDeception · 31/01/2023 16:53

It doesn’t clash...green and brown go well together.

I see that Charlie & Camilla are advertising a job vacancy for an assistant to the Diary Manager. It sounds a really interesting role, and is based at Buckingham Palace.
I'm sure our experience on this thread would make the job a breeze for any one of us.

So dust off those CVs, practise your curtsy from ballet classes, wear a large brooch to the interview, and the job is yours!

Another green coat?🥱

And be willing to be paid very little too!

If no one minds, I'm going for this frock for the coronation with the lovers knot tiara which is a little more suitable for day wear than the Spencer tiara but also less controversial for the occasion methinks.

'Be more Max' from an earlier post should one, be the thread motto and two, the title for the next thread!

TangledWebOfDeception · 31/01/2023 17:52

Oh that’s gorgeous.

I’m starting to feel I might be a smidge overdressed in my actual crown, coronation regalia and one of Daisy’s rather OTT but granted very regal gowns...

Might have to look around for something else. Maybe something a bit more young/current!

TangledWebOfDeception · 31/01/2023 18:02

Oh I know! @Maireas please could I have Diana’s Victor Edelstein gown.

Probably a controversial choice for the occasion but tbf I’ll just be at home on the sofa —with my silver lions— so I think I can get away with it.

Here it is again, the beauty!

Love these gowns 💕

LadyVictoriaSponge · 31/01/2023 18:56

I’m a bit late to the party re the red suit but I absolutely love it, she looks so stylish and modern and I love the earrings! But the thing I love most is how confident she looks strutting into the venue! to me Kate often looks ‘apologetic’ in her stance, hands clasped a bit awkwardly, sometimes slightly stooped, it’s hard to explain but I know what I mean! It’s great to see her walking tall with confidence and conviction! She looks great and she knows it, bravo.

Maireas · 31/01/2023 19:03

Gorgeous dresses.
Is there such a thing as being over dressed, @TangledWebOfDeception ?
I think not.

LadyEloise1 · 31/01/2023 19:06

Victor Edelstein was a maestro.
Catherine Walker was brilliant too.

Gooseysgirl · 31/01/2023 19:14

I still haven't picked a tiara... need to go on a tiara hunt!

TangledWebOfDeception · 31/01/2023 19:16

Oh definitely @Gooseysgirl!

(before I bagsy them all Grin Blush )

Spudlet · 31/01/2023 19:23

I think I’d like to pinch one of Meghan’s cape dresses for the coronation (hah! You thought a Diana gown was controversial, @TangledWebOfDeception 😆) - the blue one with the cape. I’m not actually pregnant but I’m sure it can be taken in a bit (probably not that much…). Not sure it’s going to go with my emerald tiara though. Going to need to go shopping for a new one…

If you're not pregnant, that would be a good buffet dress!

There’ll be popcorn at dawn!!

Damn that was my choice but you beat me to it! I'll make do with the red version then...

KillingMeDeftly · 31/01/2023 19:30

Or Kate's pink Vampire's Wife dress from the Caribbean tour, though that's more party than coronation.

Maireas · 31/01/2023 19:33

This is one of my favourites - it's unusual for Meghan, being a bit floaty and not monochrome, but it's so pretty and elegant.
Me want.

Oh yes that is gorgeous too! You must have it @Maireas.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 31/01/2023 19:39

That dress is in my top ten for Meghan, just lovely.
