Royal Style: Trooping and Tennis, here we come!

[Maireas]

Royal Style mavens, join us!

Both Catherine and Sophie look very elegant. I love C's hat and pearls, I'm not so keen on the fussy lace hem. She looks so good in white. Sophie looks lovely in that pink, good hat and shoe game!

Kates worn that dress only recently hasn’t she? Bit disappointing when she has so many other lovely outfits she could re wear. This one is a bit meh I think

Cross -post ! Ive just said I think its the same outfit we saw recently too.She has so many outfits to choose from Im really surprised we are seeing this again so soon

I didn't like that Self portrait dress when she first wore it but it's growing on me. Did she wear it at one of the VE celebrations recently?

Didn't she wear it in black for the remembrance evening. As did Beatrice for the queen's lying in state.

As for the white was it a race meeting perhaps?

White is a good choice if everyone else is in strong, bright colours - military uniforms, Garter robes.

I do like to see them processing to the Chapel on a sunny day. It's such a colourful scene.

She's wearing my favourite pearl necklace 💓 IWOOT

I think, as @MrsLeonFarrell says, it was for the VE Day concert.

Yes I thought we'd seen it very recently.

With the big black bow.

She wore it in white for the VE day concert in the evening.

I think the Daily Mail need to update their Garter info - they've obviously done a cut & paste and a lot of it is referring to HM the Queen and Prince Charles' roles 😟

Yes!

Didn’t Catherine wear the skirt at the VE Day concert?

Ooh I just came on to see if anyone had posted any pics of the garter ceremony. I could only find head shots (must have looked in the wrong place). I quite like the self portrait outfit. Lace seems to be in at the moment although it can look a bit “bridal”. I think Catherine manages to avoid this. I like Sophie’s pink outfit too. She seems to have found the sweet spot with the length with this one. I have to say, the heels on both her and Catherine’s shoes are giving me the hee bee gee bees. Are they all going for even higher heels 😱😆

Some more photos.

Not keen on the Garter hat- needs a bit more crown IMHO. But the skirt is lovely.

I was intrigued as to what Kate's "unprecedented move" was, but turns out it's just repeating an outfit!

I agree, just a little bit too flat.

Yes, I was hoping it was something more radical!

But she's reworn outfits before, so it's not unprecedented. Or do they just mean she hasn't done it at the Garter ceremony before?

I really like Catherine’s outfit, the lace in her dress (skirt?) shows a bit more leg without being short iyswim. Perfect for today’s weather.

Is Sophie’s hat a nod to Pringles? 😁

Catherine looks stunning today, I love that outfit on her and don't mind the lace trim at all. Sophie looks great too, beautiful colour on her.

Charles looks like he is totally wiped out.

Charles does look wiped out. A friend of DH has been going through similar. He's in remission just now and finally looks well again and has more energy. I wish the same for Charles.

Are there any upcoming state visits ? Jenny Packman has some absolutely stunning evening dresses this season, all of which would look amazing on Catheriine, I would love to see her in one of them.

Macron and Madame are due to come, but I'm not sure when.

Yes I hope Charles recovers his health and strength. He does seem to enjoy being King, and I think he and Camilla are doing an excellent job. I'd like him to have a good many more years yet.

I’m not keen on the Self Portrait outfit, especially the lace trim. But I do love those beautiful pearls!
