Sophie looks good but not sure why she's added that long white scarf as it doesn't appear to be part of the dress.

eggandonion · 31/05/2023 12:44

Where is sophie? Would she need a quick cover up shawl?

MmePoppySeedDefage · 31/05/2023 13:35

Not royal but these jewels are magnificent:

Goodness. That's some collection, what beautiful pieces. Not without controversy, though.

Royal wedding tomorrow for the Crown Prince of Jordan! I have high hopes after seeing the stunning outfits worn at the bride’s henna ceremony. 😀

Also a restricted flight has been noted taking off from RAF Marham this morning bound for Amman in Jordan. Might the Prince and Princess of Wales be attending…?

Kate's gold Bond dress would fit in well at the wedding. It's glitzy and would satisfy the more modest dress code.

Someone I know who works in BBC outside broadcasting has just said that he's there, so I would imagine that there is some heavyweight UK RF presence to justify that...

Yes, it looks to be high profile guests are expected so I think it's likely to be the Waleses. News reports are that Dr. Jill is coming from the US.

Charlene looking low key. Some might say dull but I quite like it.

@Papergirl1968 . You're very tactful 😊

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 01/06/2023 06:23

If Kate is there, do we think she might have to wear some bling? I mean, she'd stand out if she wore a hat when every other woman invited is all "tiara'd-up"😲

Well, the late Quuen would never have worn it with her habit of choosing bright colours so she could be easily spotted, but it's the sort of thing I might have worn to work had I not had to wear uniform! A bit...ok..boring!

justasking111 · 01/06/2023 07:10

Kate is there staying at the hotel. Everyone on the Instagram page hoping for tiaras. Felt I should wave to the mumsnetter types 😂😂

There's definitely one tiara reception after the wedding.

Serenster · 01/06/2023 08:46

Glad to see the Wales’s there! I know they are friends with the Crown Prince, but you never know. So, picking a re-wear, and something fairly modest - her green sequinned evening gown from Pakistan?

MotherofPearl · 01/06/2023 08:49

Just catching up on the last couple of days. I know we looked at Charlene's Grand Prix rainbow dress, but I'm not sure if anyone posted Beatrice Borromeo's outfit? I absolutely love it.

I do think Beatrice’s dress is very pretty and summery - that’s a style I’d like to see on someone with a long waist, like Kate, as I think it really shortens the torso (which is my main reason for not loving it on Beatrice).

Eaumyword · 01/06/2023 13:30

Ooh I LOVE that dress on BB. Looks a gorgeous colour too, kind of creamy pinky pastel.

Whatever Kate wears, I hope she's raised the jewellery box cupboard! The Middle Eastern royals don't mess about when it comes to bling - the bigger the better!

I do wonder what the family dynamic is like with the Jordanian royals? In all the footage of the events leading up to the wedding Rania is very front and centre! But Rajwa seems to be no pushover.

Also interested to see how many of the king's siblings turn up to the wedding, and if Queen Noor is there. Last I heard, the former crown prince (her son) was under house arrest!

There are some videos on twitter of some European royals arriving - I've seen Wax & Max and CPV. Long dresses, but no tiaras.

It looked like when CPV curtsied to Abdullah, he made a motion with his hand along the lines of "don't be daft, get up!"!

Wetdogloveshubert · 01/06/2023 15:09

Some grainy images from insta of today's wedding arrivals. Looks like (relatively) low-key jewels, but some more fun dresses than normal from Beatrice and Catherine.

Oops, sorry for doubling up @miri1985 !

There's not much Princess Anne style curtseying, is there?

justasking111 · 01/06/2023 15:14

Wasn't Diana gifted some awesome ME bling

miri1985 · 01/06/2023 15:19

Hair bows really seem to be a trend. I can't say I'm a fan, it seems very twee.
