Checking in, hello! 👋
Victoria is looking lovely. Agree, @choux that the dark blazer makes her dress look really pretty and more muted. Love her tonal peaches and cream jacket and skirt combo, especially with the white sneakers!

Have just about caught up on the old thread 😊

Mary - patterned suit is rather bold 😉 but don’t hate it. Really like her garden outfit, although I think Bermuda shorts are a difficult length to wear. Love her blue striped suit.

Victoria - like her in the trainers with SP dress. And the blazer with the patterned dress looks 👌🏼

Thank you for the new thread 😊

Waves to friends 👋

Checking in - liking Cam’s racewear and Mary’s style experiments and the pink diamond story! Queen Mary was just fabulously mortifying!

👋🏻 back.

There’s a photo of Victoria giving a speech. She has her trainers on and perhaps the mic was set expecting her to be in her heels because she is standing on tip toes giving the speech. She really seems to try to give everyone she meets a good experience even in a downpour.

Thank you @Maireas for the new thread.
The Mail has it Kate’s gone blonde. Well blondish.

There’s a pic of her in the car on the way to church and it looks like she has plonked a hat on her head. And I do mean plonked . I would have thought she could be excused hat wearing when they are on hols!

Here it is

That mist be the light reflecting on her hair, I can't imagine her opting for such a light shade of blonde.

We'll have to wait and see. 😂

Yes, it's probably the light.

Princess Kako of Japan in a very sweet polka dot dress, with red accessories. Polka dot dresses are quite the perennial, aren't they?
.

That is a cute outfit, if a bit too matchy with the accessories.

Imagine if Kate has gone super blonde - a "sweet nod" to Diana, anyone?? 😆

I think her hair has lightened in the sun and this is just the light making it look so blonde. I don’t think she’s had the foils in!

If William wants to modernise the RF then dropping the hats for church would be a good start. It’s so old fashioned.

Oh dear, yes that would be predictable!
Perhaps Kako could have had a black belt with the dress, maybe tan shoes or bag.

Hello everyone, I think I missed the last thread so will make an effort to keep up with this one. Thanks for the new thread Maireas x

Lovely to see you return, @frugalkitty !

Thanks for the new thread ✨️ I hope Kate's hair isn't that blonde as her colouring suits brunette. Agree about the hats but perhaps they're more what my granny would have called High Church?

👋🏼

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas! I like the reference to the pink diamond. I
must say I would be delighted to have one. Following on from the last thread, I do unfortunately think that Mary’s suit
looks very like curtains in a sort of Von Trapp way. I think it can be a problem with co-ords in general. They can either give the impression of soft furnishings or pyjamas 😆
