Royal Style: Trooping and Tennis, here we come!

[Maireas]

Royal Style mavens, join us!

But the 80s are back. I remember buying foam shoulder pads, velcro and sewing them into a few garments back then.

I'm sorry I threw my 80s big earrings out a few years ago. They're absolutely in now. Catherine wore a pair exactly like mine last year. Big black and gold ones. They called them vintage 😁. Gawd I felt old.

OH look what I found on Instagram. Diana Fashion Archives account. Lots of fashion details. I'll enjoy mooching through this.

Camilla looks bloody fantastic in that hat!

I honestly can’t make my mind up whether I like Catherine’s outfit but I’m giving a big thumbs up to something new and to a re-wear. I see on the post with the Catherine Walker picture that it’s available in red and black and I’m betting she has squirrelled that away for future as we know she isn’t averse to buying every colour way.

She does but she’s going to have to find a way to keep the damn things on better. Catherine didn’t seem to have any trouble with hers, even though the brim was of a similar size

Camilla's hair maybe very fine so hard to pin down.

True. Maybe she should weigh her hat down with an enormous tiara. Win win 😆😆

🤣🤣

Very very gusty here today!

Lady Frederick Windsor (Sophie Winkelman) had it in the red and black colourway. I prefer the blue that Kate wore today.

I was watching the highlights and realised the blue of Catherine's dress was almost exactly the colour of the plume in the Irish Guard's office bearskin. I had wondered why she chose it.

The red version doesn't look as cabin crew as the blue. I think it's the white lapels that do it!

Yes, I think the red/black is really nice. Sophie Winkleman is always very chic, I think.

The red / black version is very nice.

This is the description "A deep aquamarine wool coatdress with ivory contrast lapels and cuffs". So possibly in real life the the contrast is much softer than the stark white it looks in photos.

Just catching up… I love the red and black version of the dress and I’ll bet that it’s pencilled in for the Christmas Carol concert.

I would pay a lot of money to see Kate out and about in the aforementioned hot pink catsuit, possibly accessorised with the white fur hat!

The children looked so grown up.

Just remember, what happens in Balmoral, stays in Balmoral 😉

Oh yes - interesting. Love the red&black version on Sophie Windsor.
Just seen Charlotte's dress and I think that is gorgeous and a good style for a tweeny whilst staying regal.

I’m not keen on Kate’s outfit. The colour is a harsh blue. But she wears it well.
It’s great she is looking so well with her 3 gorgeous children around her.
I’m even less keen on William’s salt and pepper bit of beard.
I don’t know why he didn’t use Regaine when he was younger. He was soo handsome.
But i can kinda understand- it’s the long term use of chemicals.
Some people find bald/balding men attractive.
I’m not one of them.

Kate looked too trussed up for me. I was in central London today and it was baking hot. Her coat seemed quite heavy and is far too long.
Does anyone remember Frooty Minties? It reminded me of those.

But she looked happy and healthy. And William looked so handsome with his beard

I can see her flipping through designer catalogues and picking out something outrageous and saying to William should I order this for next years trooping the colour/Royal Variety just to see his face.

He's starting to look like Gareth Southgate!

Will you stop reading my mind! 😉
I was just about to ask about a waistcoat!

Do they have ice packs or built in air conditioning in their outfits? It's so warm today.

I love William but hate the beard.
