Royal Style and Beauty: Coronation, let's be bold! Bring on the diamonds and bring on the gold!

[Maireas]

Royal style fans - we're nearly there....
Bold Tower beware!

I'm a pussycat really unless someone swears at me in which case I tell them I'm not paid enough to be sworn at and will terminate the call if they continue, although of course I swear like a trooper myself when I'm not at work!

I have the house to myself so fully immersed in all things coronation 👑

Stand outs -
PM wife - WTAF! Proves money does not buy taste.
Leti - gorgeous, and agree with pp about navy accessories
PoW - hair 😍

Just watched the Kings choir programme and Sophie was on at the end. Definitely looks better when moving, instead of a photo iykwim

Some really lovely pictures of Charlene on the Getty site.

Oh no that was news to me too 😂

i can’t find a picture of Rishi’s wife !

Here you go @CliffsofMohair.

Brace yourself.

Finnegan 🙄
It reminds me of an old Val Doonican song "there was Finnegan and Loneghan and Harrigan and Kerrigan..."

Much appreciated.

My eyes though.

Oh, here you are! 👋 I’d totally missed the new. Thread so thanks to Maireas for the prod!

Anyway - another one who loved the Coronation Tailors programme here. And am amused at Kate dressing for the instagram slideshow with her block red, white and blue over the last two days. She looks great in them though, so who am I to cavil?

As for the attendees tonight, as there was a strictly enforced limit on numbers tonight and tomorrow, King Philippe attended tonight’s reception with his daughter, but Mathilde will be at the Abbey tomorrow, and Max and Wax will be at the Abbey, but Amalia and Beatrix attended tonight. A nice way to introduce the next generation to the royal connections, I guess.

I loved Mary’s coral Andrew Gn dress, and the Moroccan representative’s green kaftan.

I’m sure there was a rhyme we used to sing about poor old Michael Finnegan Maginnegan

Mette Marit. You know I love all things Norwegian Royal but what are we wearing here. It looks like a roll of red crime scene tape attached to her outfit.

Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again !

Mrs Sunak's outfit!🤯
Ok - I like the colour and sort of where it was going if it had been a block fabric, without the lace. I do like the top bit.
She's super attractive, slim and youthful and could have worn almost anything else and looked gorgeous!

Was her dress Self-Portrait? It looked it, as it was a bit fussy.

The more I see Charlene's jumpsuit the more I think it is a rewear

It's not great is it?

I don't like Charlene's outfit either. It looks as if she got the wrong dress code memo.

Kate looks safe but fabulous. I like Let's dress with the navy accessories. And I'd love to get my mitts on the emeralds that GDMT is wearing.

Wow. No accounting for taste I guess?

Wow. No accounting for taste I guess?

It has a vibe of ‘grabbed nearest bed sheet for last minute toga costume’ .

Good to see her looking so well and so healthy though.

Thanks for the recommendation for Patrick Grant Fit for a King programme. It was really interesting ☺️

Found you all!

Did Kate and Mary have the same hairdresser?

Another vote for the Fit for a King programme. It was really fascinating.
I couldn't get over the old boy making the shiny guards helmets, standing on one leg using the other leg to work a pedal, one hand to crank a handle and the other hand to rotate the helmet.
Did I hear right? He's been doing it for 50 years???!!!! It made the laugh, the thought of him standing on one leg like that for fifty years. But seriously I'm very worried. He needs to train someone else to do it ASAP!

And seeing all those amazing archives filled me with terror - are all those box files backed up anywhere? 😱

It's an incredible place, so much knowledge and history.

I've turned into a proper little "what iffer" in my old age! What was that fairy story about the three sillies who were weeping over something that might happen?

I think Kate looks phenomenal tonight. They all look amazing although do agree about Rishi's wife's dress - it's not the best!

Where are Camilla & Sophie (but especially Camilla)?

I'm going to buck the trend here. I'm not keen on Kate's dress and love Charlene 's jumpsuit. Just as well we are all different.

I hope Camilla has put her foot down, has had a nice bath, got her pjs on and poured herself a G&T while someone makes her cheese on toast.

Just chilling perhaps 😂
