Hi @locketrocket!👐
I've just seen a close up of Kate and she looks exquisite. She does suit a hat. I think she looks like the most regal of the lot of them 😆
Obviously she's a beautiful woman, but there's a serenity about her which is compelling.
As someone said upthread, the closeup photo makes her outfit look more teal than icy blue and I think teal looks great on her

I couldn’t agree more. For the avoidance of doubt, are you allowed to say you don’t like someone’s dress much?

Of course! Everyone’s taste is different. It is obviously quite normal to not like what someone is wearing. Commenting on that is different to commenting on the children somehow being “forced” to wear clothes and that they must be “unhappy” and “uncomfortable” which is what some posters were saying. That is more a judgment on the Royal Family itself imo which is straying in to different territory. The same with comments about Catherine et al being “clothes horses”

We often have wildly differing opinions on outfits on this thread! Edem being the biggest divider usually!😆
Looking very county as my mother likes to say in hushed reverential tones is also a divider on here, but it's all in good fun!

Erdem!! Thank you, autocorrect!🙄😆

Anyone know if that is a specific tartan that Mary is wearing?

WorkingRoyalNotTwerkingRoyal · 15/06/2025 16:05

I doubt it, although I suppose it could be related to her father in some way. But my hunch is it's just a fashion piece.

@Maireas apologies if I have contributed to the negativity. I don't like seeing a child being singled out and inferences made about her from one dress at one event. My style comment on Charlotte's dress is that it is pared down and pretty, very classic and similar the sort of unfussy, not too girly, transitional piece my own daughter would have worn at that age - and you couldn't get my kid into anything she didn't want to wear!

No apologies needed. You always talk about style, no digs at the person.

I hope Mme Macron is checking out some French chic. But really I want to see Melania in a tiara. She seems to be smiling more recently.
Ascot and Wimbledon are up next!

Royal Run 2025 happened for Fred's birthday. Josephine ran the One Mile, the 5km and the 10km on the day.

Fitness fashion counts too doesn't it?

Would we say Mary's outfit is a bit country?
A suitable look for the visit, I think. Are they standing in front of a giant orange dinosaur, or is it some Faroese traditional creature?

I like Mary’s outfit although not sure about the black boots, but would brown have been too matchy matchy?

Possibly. The black is probably a better choice.

WorkingRoyalNotTwerkingRoyal · 15/06/2025 16:32

I don't actually know about the orange figure @Maireas; it looks like a museum or art gallery, so I guess it could be both, or neither.

@locketrocket I like the outfit better with the black boots, although brown or olive would have worked just fine. Mary is very good at the country look, intentionally breaking 'rules' or messing with an expected formula to make prescriptive outfits just that little bit more interesting.

CurlewKate · 15/06/2025 16:32

My absolutely last comment. I neither implied nor insinuated anything about Charlotte. I just didn't
like her dress.

Maireas · 15/06/2025 16:37

Blimey, the Glucksbergs are fit! Kudos to Mary, she looks great.

I love that outfit on Mary - it’s what I’d love to pull off in the Autumn/Winter with gorgeous brown boots but sadly find myself looking rather more ‘sack of spuds’.

Thanks for posting the Royal Race ‘sport fashion’ pictures - I smiled at the fact they all have their names on their fronts - would love to see ‘Charles’ ‘Cams’ ‘Wills’ ‘Kate’ and the kids in a similar event although I suspect we won’t!

Marie looks very pretty there, that's a floral dress I can get on board with, it's not too fussy and really suits her.
Someone should definitely get Kate, Mary and Marie at an event together......

@RomainingCalm , I just cannot wear brown. I am too scarred from the 1970s 😜

I know! It was a general comment about the direction some posters seems to be going. Not you specifically 😄

My school uniform in the 60s was brown, it does put you off!

I bloody love brown (1970’s cords and crimplene notwithstanding 😂)

A step too far. It was definitely a brown decade.
