I love the purple dress she wore for KC’s coronation.

There's also a reception and church service at later dates.

Leti and Felipe visiting a school and Anne and Sir Timothy visiting Sri Lanka.

It's been all over the news here in the States that Anne and Tim carried their own bags off the plane. I watched video, and the thing that impressed me is that she zipped down those steps holding three bags, with no hand rail, like someone 40 years younger.

Princess Anne is strangely ageless - she never seems to change!

Gosh, you can really see Leonor in Leti's face in the last photo.

TheKnittedCharacter · 10/01/2024 22:05

Anne has played the long game by looking 60 odd for most of her adult life.

Here's Leti oit and aboit.
Good cause, exploited/trafficked women.
I really like her outfit, great jacket, wide leg cropped trews and shiny ballerina pumps. I know she's having to wear flatter shoes, but these are really chic and flattering..

I like wide legged trousers but not cropped wide legged trousers. Otherwise a good look, I agree.

Maireas · 11/01/2024 07:27

I think cropped trousers tend to look better with flats. She's previously worn them with her customary stilettos, and I don't think they go, really.

I like Leti's outfit but not keen on the cropped trouser length. I like her shoes though - good stylish sensible shoes for painful feet - I'm always on the hunt for those!

It's been confirmed that Fred was informed of Daisy's decision just three days before she announced it!

I wonder if she told Mary some time ago. Just a tiny hunch...

There is a fabulous wedding ongoing in Brunei...lots of info in a Daily Mail article. And hopefully elsewhere for those who avoid that website.

Maireas · 13/01/2024 08:03

It's a ten day wedding! Looks amazing.
Brunei is an incredible place.

Not royalty as such, but I love Jacinda Aherm's wedding dress!

Maireas · 13/01/2024 12:14

She looks gorgeous!

She does look lovely but I really dislike cowl necklines.

SqueakyDinosaur · 13/01/2024 17:39

Really, @LadyEloise1? Ffion Hague's dress is one of my all-time favourites, and that's a sort of cowl neck. What do you especially dislike about them?

MotherofPearl · 13/01/2024 18:13

I love a cowl neck. I think Jacinda Arden's maybe has a bit too much fabric in the cowl, iykwim. It reminded me a little of one of my all time favourite wedding dresses, Carolyn Bassette Kennedy's.

Tiara just drying nicely on the draining board. Robes pressed. Jewels removed from safe. Danish pastries just need warming through. 👑

Lol can't possibly think why!

Zara looks nice again.
