I thought it was a dressing gown for a moment.

Her updo is gorgeous in the teal dress picture.

She defo reword the teal one. As did many royal ladies. It was a hit amongst them.

Maireas · 17/04/2023 07:35

I don't have a great memory for the re-wears, but definitely think that the teal one should get another outing. Also the gold James Bond première one.

Royal fashion police on Instagram are good at spotting rewears which I have missed. They also dropped a bit of a critical dig at our royal family that only C& C and Anne were working royals these days in the UK. Bit unfair because the Edinburgh's beaver away quietly.

This was the rewear

Oh yes I saw that, though it was W&K who were mentioned rather than E&S. The royals aren't above criticism though! If the likes of the Express are turning against them then it makes me wonder if the stories about briefing against each other are true 😬

That is gorgeous, I really love it, would look dreadful on me with my matronly bosom but I wish I could wear it.

That's very like her BAFTAs gown so maybe thrifty Kate will get out the dye and rework it...

Maireas · 17/04/2023 14:37

That dress is beautiful, @paradyning .

Oh my goodness, @KillingMeDeftly - Felipe and Wax! All shiny faced and youthful. Sweet.

Despite my deep seated prejudice against asymmetrical anything, I rather like this!

I'm going to put my 50p on this one for a future award ceremony. It wouldn't work with the sash and pinned on things.

It was Daisy's birthday yesterday so they were all playing happy families! Who knows how gritted the teeth were behind the scenes?

Camilla was the cover girl on the Sunday Times magazine yesterday.
Wearing lovely jewels and a crown and that black dress with diamanté beading.
It was a bit of a puff piece. Good PR stuff.

Good to see that Daisy appears to be recovering well from her surgery. I know what you mean about the behind-the-scenes vibes. There are a couple of photos there of SWP looking quite tense. 😬

Charlene and family at an event in MC. I love Gabriella's cool shades, and I really love Char's bold red lipstick. She looks great.

The pale blue Jenny Packham dress is one of my absolute favourites, I love everything about it. If no one minds, I'll bag it as my back up coronation gown....it's the perfect dress to wear when one needs to remove one's bra after a long day.

I read that the other two little girls are Charlene's nieces. I didn't realise that her brother lives in Monaco.

MissMarplesbag · 18/04/2023 04:51

@KillingMeDeftly Charlene*s brother could be visiting instead of living locally.

themessygarden · 18/04/2023 05:16

One of her brothers lives in Monaco with his Irish wife. He runs the Princess Charlene Foundation, they are very embedded in Monaco life. I read that he has now become a monagasque citizen.
