I love Anne’s look except for the blue gloves. I know they match the hat, but I think back or grey gloves would have been better. I didn’t like the wide lapels at first but they’ve quickly grown on me.

Just heard on the radio that Kate will be presenting the men’s trophy at Wimbledon tomorrow. And presumably William will be in Germany for the Euros final.

This was from the Proclamation anniversary in June, so forgive me if it's been posted before. I do like Infanta Sofia's jumpsuit, it's interesting and different. Leonor's red trouser suit has recently been reworn, I'm not sure about the cut. Leti looks elegant although I don't really like shiny fabrics. Gorgeous earrings.

Queen Letizia Dazzles in Maksu Separates at 10th Anniversary Celebration of King Felipe’s Proclamation

King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia gathered to attend several events in Madrid commemorating the 10th anniversary of King Felipe’s proclamation on 19 June 2024.

Not quite royalty but guests at the wedding of the son of India’s richest man included Boris and Carrie Johnson. Shame they forgot to pack an iron…

Wow 😮 - stunning!

I can't believe that Boris Johnson actually went out looking like that! 😯

He looks an absolute embarrassment

Why on earth would you go out like that, never mind to a wedding?!

Does he not have a tailor? He might not be in shape but he could still dress well.

justasking111 · 13/07/2024 17:13

Boris always looks like he slept in the clothes. Carrie and the bride look beautiful.

Ooh Carrie looks fabulous. Boris...not so much!😱

DuchessOfPort · 13/07/2024 17:19

I am so amused by Boris’s look. The man ain’t vain. I wonder if Carrie said anything or just shrugged and thought well at least I look brilliant!

I have a BIL like that. Never irons his clothes, clothes don’t fit. Looks a sight at formal occasions.

Sincere apologies because I know it's not the thread to write it on but I think the amount of money spent on that wedding is disgusting when so many in that country live in such poverty lacking the basics like clean water and sanitary facilities. Sad
And I don't think much of the attendees either.

I thought that myself. How many people could have been helped with what is an obscene amount of money spent on a wedding.

Well, don't apologise. I know we don't normally go down this route, but it is obscene. I'm definitely in full agreement 👍

I bet the bride and groom have never met the Johnsons or the Kardashians or half of the other guests. It's prominent guests for hire and says so much about the people willing to go to a rich couple's wedding when they don't know them.

Sometimes, things are so bad, it has to be said. 👍

I completely agree. I think less of anyone who attended.
