Leti again, this time in a summery Hugo Boss dress. I like this because it's floral, but abstract and looks really fresh and elegant. I'm not keen on the white handbag, but that's a minor quibble. Overall a fresh look.

Gah, Hello! has done that annoying thing where you either have to subscribe or accept a load of random cookies. That seems to be a creeping phenomenon these days.

Lurker and occasional poster checking in and waiting for Trooping to begin, thanks for the new thread, @Maireas Tiaras at the ready! 👑🫡

That's strange! I just went on the article, read it and provided the link. I've neither subscribed, nor accepted a lot of random cookies. So I've no idea what's happened, sorry for that!

@FGSWhatNow - tiaras at the ready indeed!
We definitely need more tiara moments. 😊

I like Kate's hat today but her coat/dress looks too cabin crew on the Starship Enterprise.

The hat is so elegant and flattering. She's worn some beautiful hats lately, I'm so glad she's not perpetuating the thick hairband trend. Perhaps the outfit would have been better without the white contrast.
Camilla looks nice in the white (or cream?) and Sophie in forest green, again with a proper hat.

Kate and Charlotte today, too much of an 80s vibe but not in a good sense.
Fail for me.

Hi @Maireas and thanks for the new thread!

I am watching Trooping interspersed with superbikes as husband is watching the racing 😆

I quite like Catherine’s outfit. The colours acknowledge her role as CinC of the Irish guards, but without being too literal. The stars of the show for me are the horses though. So shiny 😍

I love the colour of Catherines outfit, will wait to see it in full length before deciding if I really don't like it. I do like the contrasting tone of Charlottes dress. Catherine's make up is flawless and I love those drop earrings.

Hi @smilesy ! There was an item on at the start of the programme when they were talking about the horse who is the star of the show!

Kate's drop earrings are beautiful. I've noticed that Charlotte is also wearing a brooch. Some of our eagle eyed friends on here may be able to identify it.

I like Kate's outfit today. She looks really well. It will be interesting to see Charlotte 's dress when they are on the Balcony later. She is getting too old for' little girl' dresses so it will be interesting to see the style of it. I wonder if Louis is in shorts like last year or in long trousers as he wore to the VE day celebrations.

Charlotte's dress is fine, pale green, knee length, with white Mary Janes. That tween age is a tricky one to dress.

The brooch is Charlotte's lovely little horseshoe brooch that used to belong to the Queen Mother. She's worn it for a few years now I think .

Thinking about it Charlotte may have worn it for the first time at QEII's funeral, or maybe Prince Philip's?

The dress is lovely and very appropriate for Charlotte's age. In a shade that perfectly complements Catherine's outfit.

Thank you! I knew someone would have the details. That's a nice touch.

Yes it certainly appropriate at Trooping the Colour with all the fantastic horses.

I love the colour of the PoWs dress. I agree she has worn some lovely hats recently.

Looking at Charlotte she is so poised and always has been. I long ago worked out that some people just have that in built ability to look immaculate whereas I always look less than pristine.

Charlotte wore the horseshoe brooch for the Queens funeral. Charlotte did not attend Prince Philip's funeral because it was during lockdown and only 30 royals attended so no children made the guest list.

Princess Anne's uniform is fantastic.

This is Kate's dress and it's too 80s for me. The pointy shoulders give it a Star Trek vibe too.

Anne always looks in her element at this sort of occasion. In uniform, on horseback, looking grand.

Well, I'm glad she's not wearing it with the fur hat!

Now that would've been a departure @Maireas! Her hat today is lovely and the perfect colour for summer.

Oh yes of course, totally forgot about that!
