Royal Style: High Summer, The Chic Continues

[Maireas]

Afternoon Style Mavens!
The threads continue - join us?

We say that about her mum’s hair too!

Kate obviously likes very long hair 😀
I look at photos of one of my dds when younger and think ”Gosh, what was I thinking, I shouldn’t have had it so long on her, it needs an inch or two off.”
But she had such lovely hair ( still does 😀) I felt it would be a shame to cut it.

I’m surprised the press aren’t reporting that Charlotte wore that as a nod to Kate…!

😂

That is funny - but Charlotte looks happy and comfortable, so it's a win in my book.

Hands off my tiara! The Fife has been mine for quite a few years now.

As a relative newcomer (though longterm lurker) - are there any tiaras left? I only realised recently that there was an actual spreadsheet!

Would put in a word for either the honeysuckle or festoon tiara in the unlikely event they haven't been snapped up ...

@bluegreygreen, I was also late to the tiara spreadsheet. So I have my own spreadsheet in my head and in that one I own them all!

Oh, they're snapped up! We do tiara sharing, though. Plus, have a rummage around - we're always discovering new ones!

She's a bona fide princess and princesses are meant to have long swishy hair!😆
It's in the Princess Handbook, page 41 😉

Not Diana!

It's just Charlene and MT flying the flag for royal women with short hair these days!

Indeed! They both look good in their own way.

Leti in a red floral Adolfo Dominguez dress, a repeat. I'm not keen on the large pattern, but she does look good in red.

Beatrice, Edo and apparently all three kids are out watching the Lionesses victory parade. Is the little blonde girl Sienna then who I think we have never seen before? Great to see her and possibly her girls getting involved in a no fuss way.

Ooh, now I love that red floral dress Leti is wearing!

It's quite floaty, which I like.

Beatrice in a Farm Rio skirt and red Mary Janes at the Lionesses victory event. En famille.

I own that very Farm Rio skirt. Not sure if it’s a good thing that Beatrice and I clearly share a style preference!

It's an interesting choice with the white sweater and red Mary Janes. How do you style yours, @Serenster ?

With a plain white shirt and navy heels, normally! I wear it to work if I have an summer evening drinks function afterwards - often they place in a garden kind of setting.

Nice. I can see it going well with a plain white shirt, because of the pattern.

I read that Queen Mary had a wasp fly up her skirt and sting her during a walkabout. She had to withdraw.

My DIL got stung twice last weekend, husband once and me once. Hurt like buggery. My whole foot and ankle ballooned for a couple of days.

Were Beatrice and family in the middle of the crowd? It seemed like a lovely atmosphere.
The skirt is lovely colours!

Yes she was stung on her thigh; apparently she withdrew for a short while and then came back out to continue greeting/meeting the crowd.
