I just realised Charlene was wearing not nude but white tights!

DisforDarkChocolate · 06/05/2023 19:11

Really didn't like Charlene's outfit today, I think it was mainly the length of the jacket not suiting her. It looked like someone had refused some robes the Pope had.

I think that Catherine's and Charlotte's head dresses were very like the ones that QE2's ladies in waiting wore at her coronation.

Just been clicking through sone lovely photos of the day and having thoughtveatliervitcwssvthr first ever that Cherie looked good saw her shoes - those sparkly heels - hmmm

Of the overseas royals she who is no longer 50 looked fab and Max looked serene and understatedly elegant . Princess Charlene I think was the worst - liked sge was wearing an ill fitting uniform .

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 06/05/2023 19:45

@Maireas me too. Grin

Goggle it - there's a few clips on youtube as well as still photos.

DH spotted it - don't ask. 🤦‍♀️

Myaiminlife · 06/05/2023 19:48

I have Googled now - when I rewatch with DH when he is back I'll keep my eyes peeled. 👀💀⛏️

Someone said Penny's sword was the Pippa's bum of the coronation and the Grim Reaper said "hold my beer..."

KillingMeDeftly · 06/05/2023 19:50

Then again it's an Abbey, there were loads of men in robes carrying staffs!

Vitriolinsanity · 06/05/2023 15:21

Agree. Princess Anne is indomitable. Nice feather work blocking out a troublesome nephew too. Well played ma'am, well played.

Some wag on another website referred to Harry being blocked by "la plume de ma tante" 🤣

Maireas · 06/05/2023 19:54

That. Is. Brilliant. 😂😂😂

Grim Reaper Grin Daily Mail link in case you're bothered. Only other one I found was The Sun so lesser of two evils.

I mean, it probably is just someone in a cape with a stick...but the slightly pointy hood 🤔🤯

Eaumyword · 06/05/2023 20:02

Ooh Sarah Chatto looks fab and Pippa looks great too.
😂 at plume de ma tante 😂

@animalcrossingfan2021

Thanks for your reply, I thought they both looked very elegant and polished. Wouldn't mind the designers rustling up something for me when my daughter gets married in the summer!

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 06/05/2023 20:06

@Maireas That's what DH said. 😂

ArcaneWireless · 06/05/2023 20:07

plume de ma tante 🤣

Should have nicked the plume as a postiche pour son tete.

I’ve only just had chance to get on here and catch up🙂🙂.
@Spudlet, that’s a perfect description of the Archbishop, the crown and the royal bonce 😂😂
I loved the head dresses for Kate and Charlotte, they looked fabulous. Camillas dress was beautiful, but I wasn’t too sure about the straps holding the cloak on, I was expecting a pair of fairy wings.
I think I missed half of the outfits in one way or another.
I was a bit disappointed to not see more tiaras and coronets and so on, but understand why, just if you can’t crack open the vaults today when can you??
I found a video of Sophie’s dress under the robes, I’ll try to attach some screenshots because I couldn’t get the link to work, but it’s gorgeous. It’s a shame it’s hidden, and I would like to see what Kate had on underneath too 😬

I saw a Tiktok earlier (of course I can find it now) showing all of detail of Sophie Wessex’s dress. Such beautiful lace, embroidery, and a cape. I’m disappointed that the gorgeous dresses were covered with robes now.

Off to the Susannah London IG account to see if the videos were nabbed from there…
