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

Waves to long term friends, happy to see newbies!

I agreed with all the headband comments. That’s a ridiculous amount of money for one, get thee to New Look,

£665?! (Faints)

I love Eugenie's coat, I agree the padded headband does nothing for the outfit.

I like to imagine that the single big pointy pearl tiara allows the wearer mentally to be giving all the nearby pompous bores the (jewelled) finger.

@SqueakyDinosaur 😂 love it!

The jewelled finger would be a great username

It would. Or the title of a mystery book...

Leti in a red Zara outfit. Nice minimalist look and I do like the colour, although I am not keen on the tunic. The proportions somehow don't look right to me.

Quite like the red colour and neckline, but I know what you mean about the proportions @Maireas

I agree that the proportions are a bit off - I would have preferred to see her wear this for an evening event with a big jewelled necklace, as Max has done a couple of times with red kaftan-adjacent dresses. For daywear it’s a bit too minimalist.

(I love the lady on the left’s crisp white outfit with the lime green belt, though)

Yes, I like that outfit too, @Serenster

I thought the white / lime green belt was an ABBA member at first glance on my little screen.

Hmmm that outfit is more Mathilde's bag

There is a touch of ABBA to it, isn't there?

In a good way, I think! 😀

Meanwhile, eagle-eyed twitter people have spotted that the overcoat that the King wore to yesterday’s Palm Sunday church service was originally his father’s. The photo of Philip wearing it was taken in the 1950s!

Leti and the other lady look like they've wandered in from a Star Trek episode!

That's interesting, @Serenster . Good quality clothing seems to last forever. I'm glad that he's wearing it. Philip was always such a dapper chap.

I think Leti's hair is getting a bit too long. She'd look really good with a pixie, a bit like Charlene's.

A few years ago she had a chin length bob with a side parting, which I thought looked chic. She sometimes had loose waves. I think that length would look nice in a chignon.

It would look better in some kind of bun, or just shorter. People should have whatever hairstyle they want, obvs, but they should also look in the mirror. Leti's hairstyle is aging on her.

Leti's bob from days of yore.

I like it and wish my hair was straight enough to hang in a lovely smooth bob. Mine's annoyingly in-between - neither straight nor properly wavy or curly.

Love it, @pussycatinfluffyslippers !

I like both those pictures, @MotherofPearl . I have a bob of about that length, my hair is 1a, and you have no idea how envious I am of those with wavy or curly hair (like my children). I remember my Mum putting curlers in for my First Holy Communion, and I was as pleased as punch! Sadly it all dropped out even before the after party 😟

I really like the shorter style on Leti, they suit her much more than the longer length. Mine is naturally quite wavy since having children, but not in a good way. If I try to leave it wavy/curly I just look a mess. It grows, anyone remember the Friends episode where Monica was in the Caribbean and her hair just kept getting bigger? Like that.
