The next thread, royal style mavens! The title suggestion was from our last thread. Mary of Teck was never knowingly underdressed or less than bejewelled!

Wow. They are absolute beauts. I love them. Thought they might be very little studs but nope, they are beautiful stonkers and just my style, hmm, might plan a heist at yours...

gingercat02 · 19/04/2025 12:55

Aw thanks @Eaumyword they are pretty but I always feel they are too dressed up (and I forget they exist)
My Mum and Dad lived in Spain at the time and bought them in Mallorca, it was a complete surprise on my wedding morning.

Omg they're gorgeous. Start wearing them girl.

RomainingCalm · 19/04/2025 16:02

They are beautiful @gingercat02- yes, do wear them more!

Pallisers · 19/04/2025 18:28

Wear them!! My mil gave me a beautiful fleur de lis diamond pendant that had belonged to her mother. I wear it every chance I get.

Pictures compulsory 😁

here it is. It also has a little attachment for the back so it can be worn as a brooch too.

That's a very original piece, isn't it? Also beautiful. I hope you wear it a lot!

What a beautiful piece @Pallisers
Those diamonds look gorgeous.

justasking111 · 19/04/2025 21:35

Is there a romantic story behind the Fleur de lis pendant @Pallisers .

Pallisers · 19/04/2025 21:44

Yes there is! DH's grandmother was a remarkable woman. Everyone loved her. She and her husband were in Paris after the war and spotted a lovely plain fleur de lis brooch that she fell in love with but at the time you could only bring so much currency with you and they needed it to pay for the hotel so couldn't buy it. When they came home her husband went to a local jeweller and got them to make her one in diamonds. ❤

StartupRepair · 19/04/2025 21:47

That is so beautiful. Glad you wear it a lot.

BridgetJonesesOwl · 19/04/2025 21:50

That's so romantic @Pallisers

Easter Sunday Church pictures. Camilla looking spring like in pale blue, her usual style, nice hat. I don't think anyone else looks fantastic, in all honesty. I'm not keen on Eugenie's look and her handbag just looks like a big paper bag

I quite like the colour of Sophie's coat, but it looks a bit big. James is tall, and he's favouring the hairstyle of so many young men nowadays with the brushed forward thick fringe!

I like Eugenie's hat and coat, though the shoes and bag are a bit dull. The green dress is lovely on Beatrice but the royal ladies need to burn those ridiculous headbands! The less said about their not-so-illustrious father's attendance, the better...

Papergirl1968 · 20/04/2025 14:59

Camilla looks nice.
Beatrice is wearing one of those headbands she favours.
James always looks shy and serious.

Papergirl1968 · 20/04/2025 15:00

Cross post with @killingmedeftly about the headband!

deeahgwitch · 20/04/2025 15:09

Sophie’s coat was rather a wintry colour for Easter - I’m not keen on the colour on her.
i can see where you’re coming from re the paper bag handbag. 😀

Hasn’t James got tall.
