Morning! I'm starting a new thread before I go to work as it may get filled before this evening.

It was amazing.
Camilla was in a green dress, her usual style. Had her trusty boots on. She looked to have a gold pendant necklace on a beautiful bracelet.
She was smaller than I thought. The Duchess of Gloucester was supporting and she is tiny.
The ceremony was organised to the second. We were very nervous but our curtsy's went well, we didn't fall off the step either.
It was an absolute honour and an incredible experience.

Aw I'm glad it went off well for you @Hepzibar

Maireas · 22/02/2024 17:07

Excellent, @Hepzibar 👌- understandable to be nervous! What did you wear?

This Hobbs dress suit with navy suede courts. But I was robed throughout.

Maireas · 22/02/2024 17:31

Nice! Very smart.

So pleased it went well and you enjoyed it @Hepzibar

RomainesToBeSeen · 22/02/2024 17:56

Thank you for the update @Hepzibar - it sounds like it was a lovely occasion.
Did you manage to ask Camilla whether she'd like to host us for the MN S&B Christmas drinks party?

Some tiaras to cheer us up:

I thought I knew most of them, but have never seen Queen Sophie of Greece's absolutely gigantic diamond tiara before. And the Devonshire diamond tiara is also impressive.

OMG those tiaras! They are gorgeous! Thank you @MotherofPearl

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think if it's drinks party hosting, we can absolutely count on Cams! Grin

@Hepzibar Great to hear about your day, and I love the Hobbs suit.

LadyEloise1 · 22/02/2024 18:37

Thank you for the update @Hepzibar
Glad you had a lovely day. .

MotherofPearl · 22/02/2024 18:40

A bit of a NMR trawl to bring us:

Mathilde in quite a distinctive olive (?) ensemble. I hesitate to say it, but her leather jacket is a touch too Gestapo-y for me.

Birgitte, a current fashion favourite here on RS&B I think, looking stylish in cream.

Sounds like a Marvellous Day Out @Hepzibar Your suit is lovely.

They have the Percy Tiara at Alnwick Castle it's beautiful, but sadly brought Melissa no luck in her marriage 😢

Definitely 1940s vibe there with the jacket. I don’t hate it though.

KillingMeDeftIy · 22/02/2024 20:04

Oh god no Mathilde, Herr Flick of ze gestapo is not a style to emulate!

Maireas · 22/02/2024 20:12

I'm not keen on the trousers with the permanent knife pleat.

Not keen on that olive leather ensemble!
@Hepzibar thanks for the update, it sounded fab and I like the Hobbs suit.

StartupRepair · 22/02/2024 21:06

Glad you had such a great day @Hepzibar , no doubt well deserved recognition.

Hepzibar · 22/02/2024 21:14

Thank you everyone. It was amazing, we are still pinching ourselves, it is wonderful for our college and students and the wider community.

Agonised over the outfit for weeks, so grateful for the nice comments.

Wore a Hobbs dress for the Announcement in November too

Sisterpita · 22/02/2024 21:35

@Hepzibar glad you had a lovely day.

Love this dress on Leti - the print and the colours are great.

I also like that dress on leti, and like her shoes too. Unlike CPV who is wearing the highest heels I’ve seen in a long time! And an ugly green suit. 🙁 sorry, just not getting her love for these coloured suits

I agree, @RomainesToBeSeen - I really like Levi's dress. I think she's worn it before. The colour and print are lovely.
I'm also in agreement about CPV's trouser suit
