Royal Style: silk, stomachers, sapphires and plenty of sass

New thread!

Fave Xmas looks on Kate are the red, the light grey and the dark green.
Max's dog is so cute! He's smiling 💕

Has this bad boy been claimed yet? (Napoleonic cut steel tiara)if not , may I claim please 🙏

Hello, @CliffsofMohair , just consulting the Spreadsheet of Splendour.

I think this kind of pretty (twee) cardigan needs to be worn with something edgy, like leather trousers, or cigarette trousers. Or a mini kilt and Doc Martens.

Yes, have we seen this cardigan before? It's a bit fussy, but I like the red.

Kate sported a festive red £1,350 cardigan with a white collar from her favourite brand Miu Miu - a favourite of the Princess's during this time, as she has worn it in other Together at Christmas specials.

I'm not really a fan of it.

Many thanks @Maireas . Much obliged

Yes! I do wish Kate had worn some leather trousers à la Leti with that cardigan Grouchy. The red trousers are a bit too CBeebies for me I'm afraid.

The thing is that it is an outfit for an event about other people - it's not a fashion runway and she is good about not making it all about her and distracting from the event itself.

Good point

It's all yours, @CliffsofMohair !
Happy wearing 😃

I think Christmas and a party is the time when I can forgive Catherine a crazy cardi

It is a bit twee but in true literal Kate style, she got the festive memo!
I love the red colour but agree that would have looked amazing with something edgier like leather trousers! Suppose you can't sit down in them comfortably like Ross in that Friends episode 🙈😂
Kate looks absolutely glorious lately and on point with hair and makeup. I really think she is beautiful.

Have we all put our tiaras through the dishwasher on the special setting in time for Christmas Day?

Bother! I don't think Kate's returned mine since she last borrowed it. May have to go with my emergency substitute tiara. 😊

Yes, it pays to have a back up, @ChicoryDip . 👍

Merry Christmas, everyone ⛄ 🌲 !
I hope it's a happy time to spend with loved ones and have peace and joy. 🌟

Merry Christmas @Maireas and gang.
Just preparing a beige buffet for family and will then change out of dog hairy jumper and into a dress (plus tiara obvs.)
D(bloody)dog rolled in grim fox poop earlier so had to be tomato ketchup-d and emergency showered. She was fuming as she said she'd never smelled so sexy and delicious and Christmassy. We didn't agree 🙄
She's now dealing with a bad hair day frizzy fuzzy rear end to make matters worse..

@Eaumyword 😂😂

Merry Christmas Eve fellow tiara lovers. We celebrate today so I'll don the Spencer tiara for tonight's dinner and maybe save the lovers knot for the Boxing Day buffet (I think I timeshare that one with another poster).

We got engaged 24 years ago this evening so to mark the occasion I have squidged put my engagement ring on. Not quite up to royal standards but very sparkly all the same.

Thank you for another year of heist planning and vault raiding, here's to many more. Merry Christmas ladies, I'm away to start on the veg xx

Happy Christmas @Maireas and all the RS&B gang! Thanks for another year of happy royal fashion chit-chat, and here's to another. It's no exaggeration to say these threads keep me sane (ish).

I'm just off to give the Fife a polish ahead of the big day tomorrow.

A very Merry Christmas to all of you lovely tiara-wearing MNetters!

This remains one of my very favourite corners of Mumsnet and I'm looking forward to the pictures from Sandringham tomorrow.

And a huge thank you to @Maireas, both for maintaining the spreadsheet of splendour and keeping these threads going. 👑

(Now just hoping that RoyalDPD can get the Strathmore Rose back to me in time for dinner tomorrow.)

Here's Johnny, for his fans.
Charles is in grey and beige. The cost may be a 40 year old classic but it just doesn't go.
Can't get a good look at Cam but Anne looks nice.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays (as we say here in the States) to all the lovely Royal Style Mumsnetters!
