Waves to long term friends, happy to see newbies!

Loved Zara's Cheltenham outfit today . I'd like to see a re-wear alongside Anne in her Commonwealth service coat. I think mum and daughter would compliment each other very well. It reminds me of the many times DM and I would meet up wearing similar outfits with an age appropriate tweak here and there.
If we can't locate the Royal jewels in time for a St Patrick Day heist can I suggest a practice run on the jewel displays at the V&A. This was DD "trying on" the Manchester tiara at our half term visit. I'm sure this beauty has been bagged but if not could I be custodian until she's old enough for her own entry in the SoS please @Maireas?

Just realised I hid her face and left her reflection. Don't put me in charge of disguises for the heist

Great pic @chesterelly1
Spotted this on Instagram. Shows the detail of the lace. It is exquisite. And the marquis diamonds in the tiara

Oh @gluenotsoup - lots of skeletons, a few regrets and a life well lived 😂😂

Max looks fab as ever in her red suit. Love it!

Great pic of the Manchester Tiara, @chesterelly1 , I'll consult the Spreadsheet of Splendour.
Beautiful picture of Iman - the veil and tiara are both delicate and lovely.

Manchester Tiara claimed by @latedecember1963 , according to the Spreadsheet of Splendour. It's a beauty.

It's a good job I've come back, otherwise my tiara may have been reallocated! 😁👑
I like the neckline on Mathilde's dress.

I love your comment about lots of skeletons, a few regrets and a life well lived, Eaumyword.

Whoever brought up Ffion Hague's wedding dress was spot on, it's exquisite. My favourite of the current generation's has been Eugenie's - elegant and interesting.

🤣

I have a photo like that of my mother “trying on” the Fife tiara in the reflection of the glass case at Kensington Palace. It works really well as an effect.

I don't like the lace. It is exquisitely made, but very old fashioned. It reminds me a lot of a lace mantilla.

I thought the Saudi wedding very low key. Was surprised. Of course the celebration after could have been showier

Ooh, was there a Saudi wedding as well, @justasking111 ?

Sorry I meant Iman wedding. Just finished my osteo exercises so a bit frazzled 🙈

Oh! No worries, I was just wondering if we'd missed another wedding 😊.
Hope you can relax and have a cuppa 👍

Zara in cabin crew mode today.

Iman's brother is getting married in June. That will probably be a bigger occasion with foreign royalty attending as he's Crown Prince. I thought his fiancée looked very stylish in yellow Roksanda at Iman's wedding.

That combination doesn't look quite right on Zara.

I know what you mean, @MotherofPearl - the trouser suit doesn't quite go with the hat and handbag.

It's ok though, if disaster strikes then Zara will be available to direct you to the nearest exit...

Definitely cabin crew mode! 😂 She looks very happy though, so there’s that

So true, @KillingMeDeftly .
I have to say that they always look like a very loved up couple.

I fully agree.
Style wise she rarely gets it right - she's a gorgeous looking woman with an enviable figure but just doesn't do herself justice imho.

I like Za's trouser suit but not the hat.

I love the hat but the suit is just too 'work', for the event (and the hat). Love love love Zara though. **

It looks like she got lost on her way to work in 2004.
