She looks good! I prefer those trousers to the floor-skimming ones she wears, though maybe it's time to try a different shoe style. What would you wear instead? Loafers?
I think loafers would look good, but if she thinks flats are too casual those block heel shoes she has worn once or twice are much better than the spindly stilettos

As Pursuivant General and Silver Stick of the Spreadsheet of Splendour, it behoves me to announce the following additions today:
@locketrocket - Braganza tiara ✔️
@chesterelly1 - Mary's Midnight tiara ✔️
@pussycatinfluffyslippers - French Crown Ruby Parure ✔️
@StartupRepair - EBG Ruby Parure ✔️
If there are errors or previous claimants, I apologise, as I don't always enter claims straightaway. Looks like we're all ready for the Coronation!
So, do we get a ‘casual’ tiara for just lounging around in too?
if I save the ruby parure for best (coronation and such), may I please borrow the Vladimir tiara for relaxing around in? Such a versatile piece 😍

I was just thinking that a block heel would look nice with those. She must have a few?

Like pp, I think a block heel would make a nice change. Jess Cartner-Morley wrote a piece in the Guardian the other day about the mid-heel having a moment!

She does

They make such a nice change when she wears them.
I did think as I read this what an incredibly boring and repetitive selection this is. A few nice pairs but mostly same same same.

@Maireas Sorry to be a pain, but did you see my request for the Luxembourg Aquamarine Bandeau...?

Whoops.
I am coveting a pair of Esska shoes, do you reckon Kate could wear them with her ankle skimming trews?
Those are gorgeous 🥰 I've just realised I have some shoes at the bottom of a wardrobe somewhere with a chunky heel, must dig them out! I've largely lived in trainers since the first lockdown 😆

They're v retro. They look like something my teacher was wearing c1977 
Those, and the big Deirdre Barlow glasses with long lanky hair.
And brown "slacks" with a cream polyester polo necked "jumper".

@MotherofPearl In my case, it's my Auntie Alice. She was a foot shorter than me (so 4'2") and always wore an A line skirt with v thick tights or slacks. Only ever sensible lace-up shoes...although she wore v high heels to dance in when she was in her 20s.
Reminds me also of the vast quantity of Dubonnet, Cinzano and Martini she could soak up and the amount she'd mix into "shandy" for me (hic)

I like the sound but of your Auntie Alice.
