Princess Anne has been wearing that suit for almost 40 years - including trooping the colour 1987

That's just brilliant. I was even wondering if it was something she ordered from Susan Small in 1973.

I think Sophie looks great. Alizee clearly didnt read our earlier discussion re gingham!

Yep poor girl looks a bit "the nun who Dad has brought to baby sit us kids ran this up from a table cloth".

I do like her hat though.

I'm not keen on Zara's dress today, both in terms of the print and the sleeve volume.
She's such an attractive person though because she's always so smiley!

She and Mike always look so happy to be there! I am guessing Zara is a bit like her mum in wearing what she likes and not caring what other people think. I agree this is a rare miss for her from an outsider's POV, but she doesn't seem too bothered.

A few initial pictures from Royal Ascot.

Loving Camilla in green and the hat is fab - it's a nice change for her. Less sure about Carole and Alizee Middleton's outfits - neither float my boat. I do like Sophie in the bolder patterned dress and the colour.

Oh my Lord! The Middleton ladies both look like they’re wearing their nighties!

Carole usually looks lovely, but not that dress.
I love Camilla in that green

PurplebeadedFendi · 18/06/2025 17:29

I don't mind Alizee's dress. It's giving me Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That vibes!

Cassiope · 18/06/2025 17:33

I really like Princess Anne's suit! I think the orange works beautifully with the straw/natural/beige. It's smart, but - to me - has definite ‘day off’ vibes because of the colour scheme. Tempted to see if I can create a similar effect for myself, in fact.

Full marks to the Queen for her green outfit too. I like green and I like that strong grass green, but too many people make the mistake of putting it with white, so I'm glad the Queen had the courage of her convictions and didn't dilute it. Not her best hat though - I agree that the crown is weird.

She needs to keep up! 😊

Alizee's dress looked really odd - not only the gingham but also another random pattern of white blobs (is it embroidery? flowers? polka dots?)

I think gingham can look OK but not as a whole outfit - it's why Diana's crop trousers look OK because she wore a plain colour jumper but if she'd worn a matching gingham blouse it would have not looked as good.

I wouldn't be surprised if she had it since the 70s as that mustardy yellow was a fashion colour-

Here are some of the previous rewears - including a balcony appearance with 4 year old William from an article about Anne's rewears

I like her orange hat. I'd like to see that rewear. My sister once saw her in the BHS on High Street Kensington buying a £10 hat.

I really wish my weight had stayed the same throughout the years so I could rewear all my stuff!

deeahgwitch · 18/06/2025 18:37

I’m not keen on Sophie’s - it wears her rather than the other way around.
i’m not keen on Alizee’s - too much going on- collar, flounces, tiers, maxi, circles.
If her hair was darker she could pass for Pippa in that photo.
Zara not as good as she can sometimes look.
Carole M is ok.
Sweet divine J*sus what is Anne wearing!!! 🙄

Birgitte’s hat is lovely. Apparently it was created by one of the King’s foundation students. Sorry I can’t link anything at the moment!

I like Camilla in the green. It’s a nice summery shade. Sort of apple rather than emerald. I quite like Anne’s outfit. It suits her. It’s difficult to tell with Carol’s outfit because I’ve only seen a photo of her in that sort of hunched forward hurrying along position. William suits a top hat. In fact, I always think he looks good in a hat

ETA forgot to say I really like the pattern of Sophie’s dress but that neckline doesn’t work for me

Papergirl1968 · 18/06/2025 19:41

Green is a nice change for Camilla.
My problem with Carole’s outfit is that the hat and the dress aren’t colour co-ordinated but neither are they a contrast. They’re different by a few shades which makes me wince.
Here’s Charlene and Albert out last night at the Monte Carlo Television Festival.

She seems to be joking with Zara, who seems to thrive at these events!

Has the Duke of Edinburgh been there? We've seen a lot of Sophie but I don't think I've seen Edward.

Lunde · 18/06/2025 19:56

King Charles and Carole Middleton seemed to be having quite a jokey chat.

That's nice, @Lunde ! Such lovely pictures. It's nice to see that they're obviously good friends.

Yes, Edward was there.

Carole's hat is excellent. I assume Kate is either resting or dealing with a small domestic emergency, everyone seems very jolly.

Chesticles · 18/06/2025 21:00

Anyone got any decent pictures of lady Sarah Chatto? I only can find this one rubbish one. I normally like what she wears and she has a often wears selection of Princess Margaret’s jewellery to the races

And a Dutch round up. Not keen on Amelia’s dress, I’d forgotten she’d broken her wrist. I think her make up is lovely though.
Dont like Max’s rust coloured dress. I think it’s maybe too short or something. Also, can’t image wearing it to a factory/plant type environment. And that green horror! I loath tie dye and that dress is just awful. Sorry Max!
