Wessex to Edinburgh: Dukedoms, designers and definitely bling - royal style and beauty

Waves to long term friends, happy to see newbies!

Fergie's shoes have a crown on.
Meanwhile Beatrice attended a wedding. She seems fond of headbands.

Oooh I was listening to this…
Fergs. Love. Step away from the mic babes.

Eugenie. Big fan of the headband.
(Bea. Big fan of The Vampire’s Wife)

Having read an article in the Daily Mail about all the private members clubs Fergie has been seen leaving, she also has similar hideous shoes with a horse outline on and the famous royal slogan Never complain, never explain. 🤷

So has anyone claimed the goat tiara? Anyone? Because if they haven't I would like to say

Ermm no not for me thanks

Actually, there are several Goat tiaras, because King Zog had them made for his wife and his sisters. The designs incorporate representations of the Goat Helmet of Skanderbeg, the historic national symbol of Albania.
So whatever your favourite jewel, ruby or sapphire etc, there is a suitable Goat tiara.

Don't be shy, claim your Goat tiara now! 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐

Well, @AdaColeman - thank you, as ever, for your jewellery wisdom! Goat tiaras. Who knew. I'm going to say that I think the ladies of Albania probably took them in the spirit they were intended. 🤔
I'm going to hazard a guess that one will not appear on the Spreadsheet of Splendour anytime soon....

I don't like the headband look - I would've thought it's a bit passé by now. But Eugenie's apparent cost £665!

I like Eug's outfit, but find the headband oddly annoying. It's so Tudor looking to me and indicating, I'm Royal you know, in case you forgot! Royal person, right here!😂😂
See also, any Royal emblems on shoes or doormats etc, for anyone other than the King&Queen!🙄😂

Good points, @Eaumyword . I am not a fan of the headband.

She was robbed 😂

I loveEugenie’s outfit - the headband is my least favourite part, but they were attending a wedding I think, so I’ll give her a pass.

On the subject of “thanks, but no thanks” tiaras, this one that was a gift to the wildly popular Princess Astrid of Sweden when she married the Crown Prince of Belgium, was very …of its time, is I think he best I can say about it. Here she is wearing it to the Vatican. Allegedly it was broken up by her husband’s controversial second wife Lilian after Astrid’s tragic death in a car accident - for my part, that would not be one of Lilian’s controversial actions, though!

Ooh I'll have it Serenster if I can add a sweeping set of pearls and diamonds to each side at the front!
If I can't customise it, I'm not bothered!😂

I actually rather like it. You could possibly swap the pearl for a bulb in a powercut.

😂 Brilliant! Tiara by day, head torch by night.
Super practical.

@Maireas …. Please can I have the goat tiara?? Just out of sheer badness. 😈😂

Here it is at a wedding 😬

It's yours, @gluenotsoup ✔️
The bride looks so pretty 😍

@CliffsofMohair "......Fergs. Love. Step away from the mic babes."

😂😂😂
I couldn't agree more.

I have to hand it to Fergie in a way, she's a hustler and she's doing everything she can to stay visible and earn some money these days. Maybe she senses that the royal gravy train is about to run dry?

The one interview with Fergie that sticks in my mind is the one with her and the parents of the young girl who died after an allergic reaction to a Pret sandwich. They have since set up a charity in her memory, of which Fergie was a patron, and campaigned to get allergy labelling on products. She came across as very kind and caring in that interview and you could see that she genuinely wanted to help them.

I'm not a fan of the headband-instead-of-a-hat look, to me they make the outfit look only half finished. They are too casual, but most of all they are simply boring.
At £665, my Mother would mutter "More money than sense"!

Your mother and me, @AdaColeman !

I do agree , she seems very nice but the interview yesterday was very Andrew is lovely, Andrew is great, nothing to see here. She did say Harry seems to be very happy, and she is happy that Megan makes him so happy. Which I thought was balanced given everything.

There was a time in primary school where all girls wore the padded hairbands . That’s what they remind me of. They’re so clunky. And they don’t really life the outfit enough to do the work of a hat.
