Royal Style: Tea and Tiaras - no stylish woman left behind!

[Maireas]

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

Marie also looking like Catherine there, I think

I prefer Anne's red coat today to either of yesterday's outfits (I'm afraid that purple coat is irredeemable!). I like her jolly red lipstick today too.

Nice red 👍. I like the reef knot brooch, very nautical.

Lovely coat, gorgeous brooch

Princess Anne looks great in red and the brooch is nice. She could have borrowed that coat from Kate - I'm sure we've seen her in a very similar one.

I like the red coat and the knot brooch

In the photo @Serenster posted of Anne wearing purple there is a photograph behind Anne of a couple with their new born baby. It looks very like Lady Helen (Kent ) and her husband Tim Taylor.
Lady Helen is a true Royal style icon imho.

Camilla and Anne on engagements today.

Both looking good - I like Cam's coat.

I suppose Anne's coat was chosen for practicality so I'll let her off the hook.

Is that one of the spare Camillas aka one of her sisters standing behind Queen Camilla? Can't quite tell.

I'd have expected to see Sophie out and about covering events a bit more this week? And Edward? It all seems to have fallen to Anne and Cams, with a cameo from William.

I really like Camilla's coat, it's a lovely fit. Anne going for practicality, why not.

Anne's coat looks like she grabbed it from the utility room just as she was leaving the house. 😊. The video of her giving instructions to make sure they eat the cake if she's going to cut it is brilliant.

I think I saw some pictures of Sophie in Meribel at a winter sports event. I believe Edward is having a rest after some fairly arduous travelling.

We all know the reasons why but it does feel as if we're a bit light on Royal S&B at the moment.

When you glance at that photo of Anne without clicking on it, she has a resemblance to her mother.

I had a coat like Anne's once great for feeding the waterfowl and poultry in the pouring rain or walking the dog

I was in an antique shop today and they had a plate commemorating Princess Anne's first wedding (should've taken a photo- sorry!)

I'd be fairly sure that's what Anne wears hers for as well. 😄

I think she's great and love her 'no nonsense' style choices.

As the royals are a little quiet (understandably) here is a link to some jewellery that Elton John is auctioning off. Most of it is actually tamer than I expected, and the estimates maybe not too out there if you have a spare £5K. Auction starts in 4 hours. I've put the link to christies below too. Get bidding!

Crumbs, I didn't realise he was auctioning off the whole contents of (one of his) houses. He has a penchant for Athena style posters of naked men 😂

Didn't Barbara Streisand have a huge clearance once.

I'll look at Elton later

Thanks @QueryA; some beautiful brooches up for auction. I love this one.

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.

That's a fairly bland selection IMO - majority UK and well-known. What about the Stuart? Or that whopper of Leti's? Or the Danish or Swedish collections?

Ooh, thank you for all the jewellery posts, style fans! Some absolute crackers there!

It’s a dry spell for the British royals but royals elsewhere are still oit and aboit! Here’s the new Princess of Brunei looking stunning in a Jenny Packham not unlike Kate’s golden Bond dress.

That sparkly dress is beautiful. Jenny Packham does some gorgeous evening-wear.
