Royal Style: a day starts well if it starts with Mary of Teck.

[Maireas]

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!

I like that dress on Sophie too. The longer length that she favours works well with that style. Nice wedge sandals too

Camilla in a floral dress; very spring-appropriate. Do yourselves a favour and scroll down to the last photo to see the woman in the gold bra top standing to the Queen. Quite a bold look, that’s for sure.

I really like that dress, it makes a change from the usual.

Great to acknowledge those working hard in the cancer charities 👍

Sorry I missed your post !

I am slightly obsessed with Balamory .

New reboot of new series in 2026 !

😂so many great songs!

I remember my son loved Archie

I was just thinking of that song, Archie the Inventor! My son loved him, too!

Suzie Sweet was my lots favourite !

If you zoom in on Camilla's dress it's not floral it's elephants (&possibly other animals).

Was her brother involved with an elephant charity?

You're right - it's a quirky pattern, love dresses with fun prints. I like that Cams doesn't take herself too seriously.

That's a great pattern! Yes, her brother was very active in an elephant charity, I read his book.

I think Camilla must have her own Angela Kelly making similar dresses in a variety of fabrics.

I'd love someone to make me dresses! Camilla looks very well now, after her chesty thing.

Had to come on to say that I love Camilla’s dress - such a fun print. Thanks for the information about her brother’s link to an elephant charity.

I hate those skinnies on Kate. I love her tweed jacket and the blue shirt. I agree she would look much better in wider leg jeans with a high waist,2 we or even straight leg. She can be business like and not a slave to fashion, while being more up to date - like Letitia and Mary.

I know Kate is probably not a lover of clothes and style like Max or Mary or Letitia, but she really needs an update from skinny jeans and A line midi dresses. There is another thread about a Self Portrait dress and everyone compares it (unfavourably) to something Kate would wear.

Love Mary's outfit here. https://www.newmyroyals.com/2025/04/queen-mary-attends-opening-of.html

I'd like to see Kate wearing something like a Samantha Sung dress. They are lovely cotton fit and flare in mad prints. Boden do the same thing but for a lot less dosh.

Now my phone has told me that fergie was at the cancer charity workers event. Which is as it should be, I think. 😀

Good God @MotherofPearl what was that woman thinking 😀
rambles off clutching pearls.

I think the bra-lady was supporting MoonWalk, where many participants wear bras. Don’t think she would have rocked up at the gate of BP in it, though you never know!

Couple of friends did the moon walk years ago. Trained hard booked a hotel pre the walk. Well it was during a ferocious heatwave. The heat given off by all the concrete buildings and tarmac roads was unbelievable. They completed the walk but were somewhat unwell.

It's nothing like a country marathon which they had done.

Queen Mary visited a sixth form today. Young lad asked if she fancied a beer tonight. “Not tonight, I have somewhere to be!”

I love Samantha Sung - so versatile, but Camilla wears them a fair bit which did give me pause (she looks great in them, I just haven’t thought we had much in common style wise!) and Kirstie Allsop is their other great ambassador so I suppose they don’t come naturally to Kate’s stylist if she still has one. They’re extremely flattering!

Bit late as she was 10 yesterday but lovely photo of Charlotte here.
