They tend to be tanned and have a full mop of hair. Beatrice husband hot. Eugenie husband not.

Poor Jack! He looks ok to me 😕

Has anyone else seen the C5 documentary about Diana's wedding dress? Some of the anecdotes we've heard before, but Elizabeth Emanuel was very interesting, talking about fabric, lace, the intricacies of the design, the toiles and the fittings. It's worth a watch.

I recorded it and am actually watching it now while scrolling through MN. Fascinating watch 😊

It is! I'm finding the whole process for the design from ideas to execution really interesting.

I’ve had a sort spot for Jack since he looked so unwell at his wedding. I think someone said later it was hayfever?

In October ? Are you thinking of the right person, he looked ok to me.

I think I love all of Kates Wimbledon outfits but that Catherine Walker one with the flowers was beautiful

RomainingCalm · 29/06/2025 15:19

Thank you for the link @KiIIingMeDeftly- Kate has rarely put a fashion foot wrong at Wimbledon with the exception of that hideous mint-green Balmain blazer that should have gone straight to the charity shop.

I like most of her Wimbledon dresses - I suspect we will see at least one of them again this year - my money is on the yellow one!

CurlewKate · 29/06/2025 15:20

I’m sorry, @maireas,would you rather I didn’t post on here any more?

Meghan managed to sneak in in one of those photos in her cream trousers and striped shirt, which was one of those simple but stylish combos that she did really well.

Yes, I liked that, very simple - as you say - classic silhouette. I also liked her shirt and skirt combo the following year.

I wouldn't mind either of the yellow re wears

OP posts:
WorkingRoyalNotTwerkingRoyal · 29/06/2025 15:39

I kind of hope she pulls out a completely new outfit for Wimbledon this year! Just because it'd be nice to see something new for this fun, relaxed event.

But of course I totally understand if she decides on a rewear. Luckily there are plenty of good previous outfits to choose from.

Sidebeforeself · 29/06/2025 15:52

If she does re wear one I hope she gets them shortened a little. She tends to wear dresses that are a bit too long in my opinion

Your tag didn't work so @Maireas might not see it - quoting it but I'm sure @Maireas was just curious as to who you might have been thinking of if it wasn't actually Jack.

Maireas · 29/06/2025 16:00

Thanks, @WorkingRoyalNotTwerkingRoyal . I did see the post. I just didn't understand it, so I assumed it was an error.

I googled "royal wedding hayfever" and it came up with James Corden! Apparently he was suffering from it at Harry's wedding.

Poor James, yes that was in late April, so understandable. I didn't think people got hayfever in October, but am happy to be corrected.
I thought Eugenie's wedding looked lovely, and the couple completely smitten.

I think some people get hay fever all year round unfortunately.

Do they? I stand corrected. That must be awful.

OP posts:
WorkingRoyalNotTwerkingRoyal · 29/06/2025 16:24

Yes and I'm full of sympathy! Must be so much worse when you don't even get relief for part of the year.

I've had a quick look at the Eugenie and Jack wedding pictures. I can't see any signs of him looking ill at all. They both look very healthy, relaxed and happy indeed. Apparently he had a cry when she walked down the aisle, and a "pained" look on his face when trying to put the ring on Eugenie's finger - put down to nerves about it potentially not fitting!

Maireas · 29/06/2025 16:28

Thanks, @PurplebeadedFendi . As I thought.

I’m not quite sure about the black bag and shoes with such a light summery dress, but Beatrice B looks amazing as always. I really like her shoes, though as I say, not sure I’d have paired them with that dress.

Beatrice Borromeo Attends Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2026 Show

Beatrice Borromeo wore a long white Dior dress adorned with lily of the valley prints, perfectly highlighting her baby bump with understated elegance

Yes, that's a really pretty dress, but I agree with you about the black accessories, @MotherofPearl . I didn't realise she was pregnant again.

My favourite of those Wimbledon outfits by some distance is the McQueen Obsession Talisman (silk too - gorgeous) dress; I also like the Roksanda colour block one. I really want to like the wildflower print one because the print is beautiful, but the style just doesn't work with it imo. Overall there are too many polka dots for my taste, but I think she looks good in green and wish her penchant for wearing green extended beyond the lawn tennis championships.

@WorkingRoyalNotTwerkingRoyal This might be a controversial opinion, but I reckon she’d really suit a gingham dress. She wears a lot of dark blue, which is a good colour for gingham and in her preferred dress style it wouldn't look twee or milkmaidy - just summery and relaxed, which seems appropriate for Wimbledon, as you say.
