Royal Style: Take the Tiaras out of The Vault! Sparkles aren't just for Christmas!

Next thread, style mavens!

The pearls are stunning! They must have been QEII’s I guess?

Of late we've seen a lot of unflattering trousers, M-M has certainly joined the gang.

Kate looks elegant and appropriate. I have pearl envy

Mette-Marit is channelling Rupert the Bear 😆

Kate's trousers are a bit Victoria Beckham, aren't they?

I've found a vintage five row necklace on Etsy. Unfortunately no-one has a birthday coming up so I can't justify them

My DIL adores pearls

Buy them anyway and put them aside?

Well, I have a birthday this year…happy for you to buy them for me!

I'm liking everyone's style 😊

Turns out Kate’s 5-strand pearl necklace was a vintage 80s replica piece, purchased from a Jewish- owned London business who tweeted their delight at the necklace being worn. It will I guess make up for the criticism she has got for using a Chanel bag …

Me neither.

that's lovely. and it was a lovely necklace. I usually find her style to be quite boring - with some notable exceptions - and this was one. Lovely look and lovely necklace and earrings.

@justasking111 Oh wow! Thankyou!Bday sorted

OH I was hoping she'd sat down and redesigned one of queen Mary's copious strings of pearls 😁

We're here to serve 😄

I saw a dupe maple 🍁 and NZ fern brooch too 🙈

But I've a car and carpeting to pay for this month

You won't ever have to!

All this pearl talk has caused me to dust off the double-strand set I inherited from my grandmother to wear to work today!

Pearls need to be worn as your body oils improve their lustre - or so my granny used to say!

I liked Kate’s silhouette yesterday - the Chanel bag was a bit of a clanger but it’s lovely. I hope she’s not put off using it in future for other events.

Without wishing to sound ignorant, what are the issues around the Chanel bag? I think I've missed a memo...
