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

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!

The wedding dress featured additional embroidery today, apparently, but Camilla also wore it in 2007 for the opening of the National Assembly for Wales.
Not keen on the evening gown - a bit too shiny and like curtain material.

No tiara 😡😆

Maireas · 09/04/2025 21:44

What a disappointment. When will we see more tiaras in the wild?

She’s reworn it a few times then. Princess Anne would approve!

Ah. Unmatched as the Queen of the rewear.
Bought from Susan Small in 1973?
Still wearable 😊

I suspect it’s a fabric that looks a lot better in real life, rather than in front of camera flashes.

Just saw Camilla on the news and the fabric is indeed much better in video footage. Not shiny

Serenster · 09/04/2025 22:51

Pleased to hear it!

Meanwhile the Wales family has been in France this week - skiing in Courcheval and then William and George attended Aston Villa’s march against Paris St Germain tonight. Fashion related - George was sporting a Villa scarf so he must be a proper fan! And nice to see the whole family wearing helmets when skiing - I guess it helps with anonymity too. ParisMatch had a whole load of papped photos but this photo on the slopes is less intrusive.

Rania is also in Rome and I love her dress (Erdem!!) and shoes.

It's Erdem, but I like it! Very chic, what a great cut. Love the shoes and the bag.

Camilla looks nice, not v exciting but fine. Delighted to see she is continuing to go big on the jewellery.

Maireas · 10/04/2025 08:20

I saw a picture of C&C meeting the Pope. Camilla in traditional black, as befits a Protestant royal!

I’m having to fight off considerable cognitive dissonance here and admit that I really like Rania’s Erdem dress.

Not keen on Camilla’s evening gown at all, but her turquoise necklace is rather splendid. According to NMR it belonged to her mother.

smilesy · 10/04/2025 14:42

I have it on good authority that the Sovereign’s Representative at the Sandhurst commissioning parade tomorrow is the Princess of Wales. Will have to look out for pictures

Maireas · 10/04/2025 15:11

I saw her turquoise necklace on the news report - beautiful!

Yes, and the colour made her eyes pop!

Rania looks fabulous and so does Char! Her earrings are gorgeous!

Papergirl1968 · 10/04/2025 21:04

The Spencer twins at a V&A exhibition. I like Eliza’s dress, not so keen on Amelia’s trouser suit.

Maireas · 10/04/2025 21:06

Yes, I would agree, @Papergirl1968 they're a very good looking family, aren't they?

OP posts:
KiIIingMeDeftly · 10/04/2025 21:52

I prefer the trouser suit to the dress, and I like the silvery shoes too.

Papergirl1968 · 10/04/2025 23:14

The trouser suit looked shiny in another pic, which put me off. And it’s a bit creased.
They are indeed a good looking family!

It looked much better in the first pic! I dont like the shiny effect.

BridgetJonesesOwl · 11/04/2025 01:31

Camilla's turquoise necklace is very pretty.

And I'm completely shocked by Rania's dress! I can't believe it's Erdem - it's missing a pattern.

I'm an Erdem lover btw 😂

Ha! My good authority has just realised that it is actually Sophie and not Catherine that is representing the Sovereign. Sorry about that I’ll be having a word 😆
