(I don't think Megs does Clarks 😆)

Ha ha, no I knew they wouldn't be the same ones but if they look similar...it might nudge me!! Thanks for the Chanel info tho! Have you seen a separate pic of them?

Maireas · 17/06/2023 19:38

I loved those two tone Chanel flats she wore at Invictus, and found great dupes in M&S!

@mikado1 Royal Fashion Police on Instagram is pretty good at identifying items. These are the flats https://www.chanel.com/gb/fashion/p/G02819Y0155294305/ballet-flats-lambskin-patent-calfskin/

I've always found ballet flats really uncomfortable but maybe if they were Chanel I'd change my mind!

mikado1 · 17/06/2023 19:44

Ah no straps.. not as nice as I thought lol.

I have similar dupes but mint velvet maireas, love them and v comfortable. Love Meghan's day wear, v simple.

Hot for California which might explain why she was carrying the sweater later.

It’s been years since I went on a MN road trip, this is such fun! I happen to have a lovely summer kaftan from H & M (the store, don’t get excited) so I’ve been happily wafting around.

Loved Kate’s hat, didn’t like the dress with the shiny neckline and awful buttons. Couldn’t make up my mind about Camilla’s outfit, it looked a bit cosplay to me. Either wear a uniform or don’t. But the colour was great on her and it fitted the occasion. The kiddos stole the show for me, they all looked adorable.

I thought all M's shoes were vegantastic?

Vitriolinsanity · 17/06/2023 20:26

I'm at the back of the yacht, chatting to the vair easy on the eye first mate.

This is a great photo. Kate's dress is by Andrew Gn. Is that a departure for her? I don't think I've seen her wear the brand before.

Everyone has gone to bed and woken in the 80s except William in this picture. Hideous.

After too much sun 😎🌞 and Pimm's fell asleep. Two paracetamol and I'm ready to go again. They're bringing out canapes now, I'm starving, it'll mop up the alcohol 😉

KillingMeDeftly · 17/06/2023 20:58

You aren't wrong @paradyning! I thought the colour of Kate's dress was very QEII and she certainly stood out on the balcony. But overall I preferred her white and navy ensemble from last year.

Thereoughttobeclowns · 17/06/2023 21:03

I thought Kate’s outfit was utterly awful today. Garish and staid. It would was exactly what the old queen would’ve worn. She’s such a safe and boring dresser.

Agree

paradyning · 17/06/2023 21:06

Cams' little hat today as lovely as it was makes me realise she really suits the big ones

What happened to the profiteroles with extra cream?
I think Kate is dressing for her role, rather than her individuality, at times.

Long time lurker on these threads. I’m a yachtie, so can sail the boat for everyone. Payment in jewels and Pimms, of course. Not at all keen on PoW frock today, nor on QC’s not-quite a-uniform look either. Still at least they are experimenting a little more & that’s good.

Maireas · 17/06/2023 22:29

Evening and welcome, @DontForgetTheYakMilk ! You will be most useful with your yachting skills. What jewellery do you want? We generally wear tiaras although necklaces and brooches are popular too. Perhaps a complete parure? You may consider which style side to be on re Erdem and white stilettos debate which has divided us for some time.....

I’d love a tiara - but I’m usually too late to stake a claim! I’ll bide my time & keep my overly frogged skippers hat on for the moment.

paradyning · 17/06/2023 22:43

Matching shoes too. Not sure what you would wear with Kermit green mind

Not too late! Make your choice. Alternate with skipper's hat.

I really love Kate's outfit today and think her silhouette is super elegant. Am I the only one?!

I like the length and cut of skirt section. That's about it from me I'm afraid.
