How lovely to see her, I'm glad she's ok. I'm not a fan of the dress, but I think it's a fit she favours. Nice to see Charlotte.

She loks fabulous. I like the colour and shape of the dress.
Anyone know what the black brooch means/is?

I think it might be a Wimbledon broach. Good to see Charlotte too.

Maireas · 14/07/2024 13:58

It's the All England Club pin.

Ah, thank you. Charlotte looks lovely too.

The top of that dress is really retro. I'm sure there's a pic of the QM in something similar, with a little row of pearls ...

Well she's here today. Now I hope they'll all be whisked away to a tropical island by William so they can all have some silly time, Kate can relax, put some meat on her bones be warm, cosseted and build up her strength. She has lovely parents and siblings to join them.

I'd be happy not to see her until the autumn or next year if necessary.

I expect she will attend Festival of Remembrance and Remembrance Sunday at Cenotaph in November. It will be interesting to see if the Christmas Service which Catherine has 'hosted' for the past few years will have her in such a prominent role. (But as we know the wider family come out to give their full support for that one).

I think the colour of Kate's dress is a bit harsh for her but otherwise she's looks lovely.
I enjoyed looking at the article about Sarah's wedding, it was such an elegant but simple look al round and I love the flowers on the bridesmaids hair.

Sarah’s sons look very much their dad did on his wedding day.

Papergirl1968 · 14/07/2024 15:02

Pippa is there too, as well as Freddie and Sophie.

Kate’s looking good - so glad she is feeling well enough to do Wimbledon - she’s a proper fan, it would be a real shame if she’d missed it.

CarolinaInTheMorning · 14/07/2024 15:22

I like Kate's look, especially her shoes. Nice to see a lower heel.

odddogout · 14/07/2024 15:24

Does anyone know where Kate's sunglasses are from?

Maireas · 14/07/2024 15:40

I'm not keen on Pippa's dress, but Sophie W looks gorgeous in yellow. Fred's been at the absinthe again 😉

She looks stunning and so happy to be there. One bought has struck me..she must have been ill and struggling for a long time before it was made public, yet she never cancelled an engagement, cut one short or looked ill did she? That must have taken some doing.

Relax and be cosseted what do you think she's been doing ??

Tatler has a retrospective of Sarah Chatto’s wedding, as it’s her 30th anniversary today. Still one of my favourite royal(ish!) wedding dresses.

I can’t see the back of the bride’s dress but the back of the bridesmaids dresses has a very nice laced type thing like a corset.

Given that, I love this photo of Pippa looking so delighted for the reception her sister received. Kate’s closest circle must have been very worried for her for some time now.

What a lovely photo.

It must be weird to see your sibling in that position. Even after all these years it must still be odd for there to be protocols to be followed when you go to the tennis, or anywhere, with your sister.
