Royal Style and Beauty: Trooping forward - colour glitter and style but more tiaras may take a while..

New thread!
Welcome old friends and new!

Re Kate and literal dressing - She is not alone.
Look at Mathilde.
The King and Queen of the Netherlands ( of the House of Orange Nassau ) are visiting Belgium.
Voila - an orange outfit

It's by Suzannah London. She wears the brand a lot. https://www.suzannah.com/collections/silk-tea-dresses/products/adela-tea-dress-pansy-dots

I didn't realise the Stuart tiara could be worn in so many variations.
I think I prefer the bottom left.

Bottom right wins for me. 😊🙂
Lovely pic of Sophie with her dad, dress is nice too.

@KillingMeDeftly do you think Sophie would lend me her frock? I don't have 1600 quid but I want it!
A multi purpose tiara would be useful.

Carriage list!

The only names to explain are the Farish’s! Now I may have got them the wrong way round as father and son are both called William, but I’m presuming this is Bill Snr as he was formerly the US Ambassador to the UK, but he is also owner of Lanes End Farm in Kentucky. When the late Queen had mares in the US she boarded them at Lanes End and visited on several occasions. Bill Jr now runs the farm so it could also feasibly be him in the carriage!

I think Charles and Camilla spent a good few weekends in Lismore which is the Devonshires Irish pile while things were still awkward in GB. Nice to see the very grand Princess Michael getting a day out!
And Judi Dench always seems very jolly.

Apparently they were very well known in Lismore and were regularly seen in the village, very low key.

Bottom right for me too glue. In that formation it puts me in mind of one of my own tiaras, the lovely Fife.

Is anyone else fascinated at how they must store their hats? Someone like Zara seems to have like 20+ new hats a year, she rarely seems to rewear. Does she have a hat room at her house or are they rented/borrowed?

I suspect Zara’s hats, and many of her race outfits, are borrowed. As she’s not titled, or a working royal the rules around that are very relaxed. (If she posted her pics on her own instagram she’d have to say AD etc, but she doesn’t)

Love Camilla’s hat! Very My Fair Lady!

Kate in red!

Any pics to share ladies.

I loved Zara’s outfit yesterday.

Ignore me I’m dim. I forgot it was televised!

My prediction was way off course as Kate's in red today! Bespoke McQueen.

I think Kate looks amazing today. My only slight grievance is the shoes. I think a darker red - closer to the bag's colour - would have worked better. Or maybe even a totally different colour. Love her updo!

Am amazed that she me wearing red - zip would never had predicted that!

Meanwhile, here’s a great photo of CPV in a lovely dress 😀

The shoes are Jennifer Chamandi again.

I think a contrasting bag and shoes would have been better. Also when you have the royal vaults at your disposal why go for high street earrings?

I think she just buys earrings she likes, and if they're high street then so be it!

Kate looking stunning today

My mother who was a style icon in the 1940s never tried to match a red outfit with red hats bags or shoes. I think she had a point. The colours are always slightly off.

I totally love Kate's outfit today... the hat is especially fabulous! BUT the earrings ruined it for me, they just don't work with it at all. I was also expecting a rewear... after all the new outfits of the past few days, unless William has handed

over a blank cheque book!!!!
