Brigitte’s get-up there is almost identical to what my grandmother wore to my uncle’s wedding in 1975!

justasking111 · 11/05/2023 13:12

Who's Brigitte?

justasking111 · 11/05/2023 13:14

Ignore me it's the pain blockers and a senior moment she's a game girl though

Well I finally found out why the Queen's Pages had different uniforms! They are linked to her military roles with the Rifles and the Grenadier Guards.

Also, if anyone fancies a new tiara Bentley and Skinner have some new ones for sale!

Premiumbondbaby · 11/05/2023 14:02

@Twazique thank you, I knew the uniforms were different but not why. Makes sense now.

Max looking very...Max!

Mmm, the shoes aren't great.
I'm never keen on leopard print, but if anyone can carry it off, Max can.

As my mother would say re Max

"Did you get dressed in the dark?"

It's just well I don't really know where to start 😕

Eaumyword · 11/05/2023 22:30

I usually love a bit of Max, but not on board with that outfit.

In my own family tree twins didn't survive until about 1980. So I suppose royal twins were equally unlucky. My mum's friend had twins born at home in 1964. The second one wasn't expected. Twins seemed to be a massive event. I feel ancient!

Multiple births are more common these days because of IVF.

SqueakyDinosaur · 11/05/2023 23:36

Max's dress needs to be either shorter or longer. I'd vote longer. Also, on principle, I disapprove of her wearing high necked garments in chiffon, because it restricts the opportunity for a. huge fuck-off diamond necklaces and b. huge fuck-off diamond brooches (too heavy for the fabric).

KillingMeDeftly · 12/05/2023 07:38

The Rossi 105 shoe again! Maybe all the royal women have all got a BOGOF or 3 for 2 deal with the brand!

LadyEloise1 · 12/05/2023 08:37

Max's dress is too high necked for her and the hat isn't great.
Hmmm red with leopard print !

KillingMeDeftly · 12/05/2023 09:36

I have to say I do love the metallic pink (which CPV wore to the pre-coronation reception) and metallic green but have no occasion where I could wear them! I think I'll leave them to royalty and other celebs with chauffeurs...

I’m not a fan of Max’s outfit there, it’s very dated looking and not very flattering. I quite like animal prints done with a lighter hand, in a belt or accessory or just one clothing item. That’s a bit much.
I do 😍 the green metallic shoes though.

KillingMeDeftly · 12/05/2023 09:59

Metallic purple too, my heart be still!!

Maireas · 12/05/2023 16:34

Be still my throbbing corns 😂
Great colour though

Same, @Maireas!

KillingMeDeftly · 12/05/2023 18:54

I love them! But I haven't worn heels so high since before lockdown.

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 12/05/2023 20:19

I could sprain both ankles sitting on the sofa wearing those. 👠

MaggieFS · 12/05/2023 20:37

I'd love to be able to wear shoes like that but my feet always hurt. What's the secret of how they manage it?

BeaLola · 12/05/2023 21:29

I think they must have feet designed in another universe to wear those let alone walk in them

Fab shoes

Spudlet · 12/05/2023 22:07

They’re so beautiful! I could not move in them, even an inch. I would die. My ankles would die. People around me would die as I toppled over upon them. Although my feet would look pretty…

Currently watching the Windsors Coronation Special… and wondering when we’ll next see any of the royals getting oit and aboit 😂😂😂
