@LaBrujaPiruja I was referring to the phrase "She's no better than she ought to be", not Fred's case in particular.

Just in case.
for you guys maybe it’s the first time you hear about Genoveva (aka Genoboba, ‘boba’ means daft in Spanish) but I’m familiar with her pursuit of love

There’s a gossip forum where most celebrities have a nickname; Genoboba is Genoveva’s

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas.

I echo the lamentations about the tiara-event drought. Isn't the diplomatic reception coming up at the end of the month? <clutches straws>

MotherofPearl · 08/11/2023 00:22

There’s a gossip forum

Maybe so, but this thread is about fashion and jewellery, mainly, rather than gossip. Let's stick to that.

Talking of gems, there's a free lecture about them in London next week:

LadyEloise1 · 08/11/2023 09:06

Ah Fred !!!Shock
What a time to be visiting- poor Leti and Felipe.
Both Mary and Leti looked well.
Fred's suit - did he not look in a mirror before leaving the palace house ?
Perhaps it's genetic - what was Daisy thinking !!!!

Would love to go to this, but am not in London. Maybe @gluenotsoup and I could gather a NW contingent.

Maybe Daisy saw Fergie's bordello chic dress from last week and thought "hold my Carlsburg..."

She looked magnificent in the green lace and emeralds at the state dinner though, and she's not giving up her furs.

gluenotsoup · 08/11/2023 11:21

Ooh. Yes, we’ll give it a go @MotherofPearl ! Though it might be just us and @Maireas . Thanks for the new thread, lovely!
I love Mary’s sparkly skirt and off the shoulder top, very much my type of thing. Not loving Fred’s suit, it didn’t even nearly fit. Both Fred and Charles need to improve lately, and Charles is usually very dapper. He’s headed into too big and threadbare lately.
I like Williams green velvet-love-god look. 😆
Daisy - looks fine! It does remind me of a vampire princess costume though, she needed the black cut steel tiara with it.

justasking111 · 08/11/2023 12:15

I'd say Charles had lost some weight so perhaps some nip and tuck tailoring required. required. He's had a summer walking in the glens he loves so much.

A lot of royal men just aren't interested in clothes as they mature. As long as it buttons up they're happy. It's a uniform they shrug into

🤣🤣🤣 My thoughts entirely.

Kate in camo at Robertson Barracks, Dareham. Her debut as the Colonel-in-Chief of 1st the Queen’s Dragoon Guard.

She wore a black polo neck and blazer under her camo gear. I love this photo of her in a tank!

She looks so happy in that tank!

Evening all 😊

KillingMeDeftly · 08/11/2023 19:07

That's what I call her Principal Boy ensemble!

Papergirl1968 · 08/11/2023 19:15

Mary, Fred, Leti and Felipe today. Fred looks an utter mess again, especially next to the impeccably tailored Felipe.
I like Leti's dress and Mary's broach.

Brooch even...

CliffsofMohair · 08/11/2023 19:26

There’s a very funny hashtag on Royal Fashion Police today - #fredsbuttons as those on his suit. Doing sterling work. Blink twice if you need help.

KillingMeDeftly · 08/11/2023 19:31

Leti and Mary both look really good. This has been a good state visit for style!

And as ever, the Mail's captions are priceless. "Fred appeared to direct his body towards Mary", what??

themessygarden · 08/11/2023 19:36

Leti and Mary looking gorgeous, Mary being very stoic in the face of the media interest.

Fred looks thrown together, maybe she flung his clothes out the window and he had to grab what he could 😀.

Eaumyword · 08/11/2023 19:40

I do like both Leti and CPM's outfits - that pink coat is fab!
Kate looks lovely as always but I'm so over those super skinny jeans.

themessygarden · 08/11/2023 19:41

Kate looks in her element, I bet the kids will be so envious of their mum.

Here's another view of Leti and Daisy at the ball. Leti looks like a Disney princess, the ball gown, the tiara, the earrings! Just sumptuous!
Daisy in green with emeralds aplenty.

Both couples looking very sombre here at a memorial to fallen soldiers. Mary's coat is lovely, but I think Leti's is a bit big, and I'm not keen on the floral handbag. The day wear below is nice, though, and I really like Mary's outfit in particular.
