Ohh , I love them 😍, where can I get one?
I feel it would suit me immensely! 🤣

Maireas · 03/09/2023 15:23

Ok, I think we have some new headgear. Shall we wear our crowns with our green coats?

Many thanks 🙏! 😉

I remember reading that many churches in Sweden have a bridal crown, and they then lend it to brides getting married in the church. Princess Margareta, one of Carl Custav’s sisters went for this option, despite obviously having any number of family tiaras to choose from.

(I also remember that two of his sisters wore the same wedding dress - not their mother’s but just a dress worn by one sister to her wedding, and which a later-married sister also presumably liked)

Oooooh fancy, fancy headgear. They are stunning.
Coveting number 5, is it platinum? White gold?
And did I miss an allocation of green coats?

Maireas · 03/09/2023 17:48

@BambiBambi44 - not too late! Kate has many green coats. Pick one, any one.
Crown no5 is yours! ✔

Wow, that Art Deco tiara! Fabulous earrings and necklace, too. Great article, thanks @BambiBambi44 , although I did read her name as Princess Nazi at first....

The filigree in those crowns is incredible what skill.

Queen Nasli what a sad life , she should have known there'd be no escape for her or her daughter. There still isn't if what I read about a recent one hiding out in London with guards trying to get a divorce is true.

So, so sad.

I shall have a look, I do not have a green coat, and green does go with jewels nicely :)

Thank you for the crown @Maireas. I need to acquire some nice earrings too methinks 😆

Maireas · 03/09/2023 18:43

Yes, that's a sad story

Do you mean Haya of Jordan? She got her divorce and custody of her children but I can't imagine she'll feel safe until her ex-husband dies.

That's my thought. She's bought a place in Wales an ex hotel to convert. Imagine your father being the king of Jordan, enjoying a very westernised upbringing and finding out that your husband had his own daughters disappeared.

LadyEloise1 · 04/09/2023 08:46

@KillingMeDeftly no, @justasking111 didn't mean Haya of Jordan, though that is a very sad case too.
I went down a rabbit hole yesterday when I read the link @BambiBambi44 had posted about Queen Nazli of Egypt. That is the sad case referred to.

Finally caught up after being out of Royal watching for a bit.

I have to say that I loved Max's Rotterdam outfit! But she needs to step away from the green dresses, they do nothing for her.

Bride wearing mothers dress and frankly, rocking it, was a highlight!

Did you see that Meghan was at Beyonce concert with harry, dora and her acting buddy whose name I always forget. They appear to have gone with co-ordinating silver outfits. Grin

gingercat02 · 04/09/2023 10:41

I think Queen B requested silver outfits

CliffsofMohair · 04/09/2023 10:52

Harry having super fun there 😃

ArcaneWireless · 04/09/2023 11:38

The lass should have gone for a good old girls night and left him at home.

He doesn’t look happy in someone else’s jacket and a sharny face like that would have not made for the best of atmospheres.

She looks like she’s having a grand time though. She does suit a vest top. Oh for defined arms like that!

MsMarch · 04/09/2023 11:57

I think the top has very little back from one blurry picture I saw! And yes, she really does suit that style!

Agree, Harry doesn't look super happy but assuming this was just a moment in time. Or maybe he doesn't like Beyonce? Hard to tell! :)

KillingMeDeftly · 04/09/2023 11:58

I don't think we can judge based on one still photo! There was some video footage where he was dancing around and looked to be enjoying himself. I have a skirt like the one Meghan is wearing and was wondering what to wear with it. Think I'll look out for a sleeveless white top now!
