Royal Style: Quality jewellery, quality clothes and maybe a bit of Quality Street

[Maireas]

New thread for royal style and beauty fans.
Keep up the interesting, witty and wry observations!

announcement to make in the run up to the coronation.

I quite liked Sophie's pink trouser suit, nice colour on her. Not keen on any of the other Cayman outfits so far.

Nice words from KC this morning regarding Ukraine... probably a little political but am assuming Rishi is cool with that!

Also saw some lovely footage of QC relaunching her Queens Reading Room as a charity. KC v much in the background at the event but thoroughly enjoying it all, clearly immensely proud of her and very happy for her to be centre stage! link to QC's reading room if anyone wants to take a look

Apparently Camilla has had Covid again. I thought she had lost a bit of weight in that photograph.
Her dress is lovely as is her brooch.

I saw that news about Daisy and her back operation. Hope she recuperates well. Looking forward to EBG's India wardrobe.

It's a hard no from me to this pink shiny monstrosity dress from Leti. It's unflattering in all ways.

Sophie's tour wardrobe is indeed a sea of midi florals and those interminable tiered dresses, but look how good she looks when she opts for something plainer and simpler - this lovely navy Roksanda dress looks great on her, and I like the contrasting shoes.

I suspect that the weight loss is down to being queen and every morsel that passes her lips now is prepared for her. She used to escape to her home for privacy, the chance to put her feet up with junk food. It's full on coronation mode now. I hope when it's all over she can escape again. She does have a family pre Charles she loves very much

That's the navy version of a yellow (and possibly red?) dress Kate has isn't it?

Looks like Charles is thinking "she's still got a demn fine rump" there!

Sophie in another block colour . Looks lovely and cool. Edward fast morphing into the elder version of himself.

Isn't the Queen's Reading Room a fantastic idea?!
Sophie always looks good in white. That dress would last 5 minutes on me, I can not keep white clean.

That was what I thought too!

Camilla does look as though the last few months have taken their toll.

I’m sure they have. And of course she’s been ill too.

However I think her glasses are exacerbating it too as her eyes look much bigger than they are which makes her face look smaller/thinner.

Camilla and Sophie both look great in that deep blue.

And in white/natural. I wonder if their colouring is similar.

Uh oh, Kate needs to count her green coats as it looks like EBG has raided her wardrobe!

I'd not heard of Princess Gloria Thurn und Taxis but she certainly had an innovative way of wearing a brooch! https://royalwatcherblog.com/2023/02/23/thurn-und-taxis-sapphire-bow-brooch/

Uh, oh! Something sinister happening!
EBG looks very nice, but somewhat Kate ish.

Oh, Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis! Quite the character! Known in the 80s as "the punk princess".
I remember watching a programme about her many years ago and she was smoking and being quite brutal about her husband, some years her senior. She also made some remarks that bordered on the racist, and endearing she was not.
Bloomin love those jewels, though.

😂😂😂

I think I may have missed something whilst I was away - why are we calling Mary EBG?

Is it Ever Birthday Girl?
or
Every Bracelet Going 😆
Eggs, Bacon & Gogi berrys 😂
Excellent Barbie You Flaming Galah (in the words of H&A's Alf Stewart) 🤣

Just having a loopy moment 🤪

Eternal Birthday Girl aka not enough days in the year to celebrate all of Mary’s 50th birthday parties 🥳

Thanks @CliffsofMohair I knew it was something to do with birthdays 😂

Although I like your suggestions, @TracyBeakerSoYeah 🐶

There's some insane tiara hair going on in those links!

Camilla is so stoic. From a young woman her attitude has been let's make the best of things and crack on. However, the last few months have taken their toll.

Flora Ogilvy at the V&A.

The Erdem(!) dress suits her in a Bridgerton kind of way but I feel like the black waistband isn't quite right.
