Sarah AJ’s wedding dress was quite lovely. She shone.

Not royal I know but I loved Ffion Hague’s frock. I loved it then and still love it.

ArcaneWireless · 10/09/2023 10:25

Ah well! May Lady Eloise1 sparkle in it 😊

bugger!

Maireas · 10/09/2023 10:27

Ffion looked lovely. Yes, Arc enjoy your quest for more bling 😊!

Sarah AJ's is still the best 90s royal wedding dress for me. Metre Marit of Norway's, several years later, was similar.

Metre Marit’s dress is my fave of all time dress.
(obvs if I was getting married again though I’d ask Delphine 👑 to throw something together for me)

KillingMeDeftly · 10/09/2023 10:34

I'm sure she could lend you a pair of shoes @CliffsofMohair!

ArcaneWireless · 10/09/2023 10:39

I absolutely love MMarit’s dress. And her bouquet was unusually striking. Perfection.

But absolutely not my gown of choice because I’d need to grow a foot and shrink significantly in width to do it justice.

She looked stunning.

Sorry, I think that belongs to @LadyEloise1 ! Continue your search...

Do I ?
I'd forgotten and thought I was the only one with no tiara.
That's great news. I shall check up on it now check out what it looks like 
Apologies @ArcaneWireless
You can borrow it when you need it.

ArcaneWireless · 10/09/2023 11:33

You are going to be twirling yourself silly LadyEloise 😊

Enjoy it - it is gorgeous! And thank you for the offer 😉

Mine are all up for days out with other heads too 👸🏽

I wonder how the conversation went in the Dutch Royal household, when the submission came through asking who was going to have honour for the new boat/ship. According to newmyroyals it’s a new trailing suction hopper dredger "Vox Alexia" in Rotterdam. If it was the British Royal family it would go straight to Princess Anne’s box!

Beatrice in a very pretty skirt and blouse combo. Footwear incongruent with rest of outfit mind.

It's the ubiquitous floaty dress and trainers look that's either beloved or derided by MNetters! Not sure I like the sandals on the model either.

EmpanadasForLunch · 10/09/2023 13:17

I know @CliffsofMohair’s comment “he’s just King”’was days ago but I’ve had pages to catch up on and that made me giggle

KillingMeDeftly · 10/09/2023 14:08

Kate looked good at the rugby last night - I like her hairstyle, it's a bit different to what she usually goes for. And no doubt the suit came in useful at the afterparty when she staged her tribute to Saturday Night Fever!

Absolutely right. 😀

Have always thought Princess Anne was brilliant but I'm even more in love with her after watching the rugby podcast with William and Kate. Definitely a good 30mins spent if you haven't seen it.

Maireas · 10/09/2023 16:00

Anne rocks.
I agree, @KillingMeDeftly - Kate does look good there. I did laugh at Saturday Night Fever, though! I can never wear white, I always manage to make a mess!

I’m working at an event soon where it is highly likely an HRH will be attending. No white/black tie reception or dinner so no tiaras (though did try suggest one with my eye on Maireas’s tiara spreadsheet!) but will update any sightings after the event.

Gothambutnotahamster · 10/09/2023 17:14

Very jealous @viewsoftheshard - enjoy!

Charlene and Alvery together again, at the Monoco Picnic, which is apparently their equivalent of a garden party.

Alvery? Albert!

KillingMeDeftly · 10/09/2023 17:30

The twins look thrilled to be there...

SqueakyDinosaur · 10/09/2023 17:31

I'm getting definite Addams Family vibes there...

Maireas · 10/09/2023 17:34

Well, Albert and Charlene look good, and the twins....well, nicely dressed, neat and tidy, and threatening revolt 🙄

I'm not a fan of Charlene's outfit at all, and a black maxi skirt seems an odd choice for a picnic or garden party.

And CPV takes Prince Oscar to a children's sports event.

It's a weird ensemble.
