Oh, I thought that series was in the 1960s?
Perhaps I'm thinking of something else. Not wartime.
I like the colour and style.

It started very late 50s I think and is currently in the early 70s but all very much post war.

I agree, Kate nailing it today.
Off to find pics of Camilla.

Yes I am sure you are right but theres something about this look that always gives me the CTM vibes!

Yes, I agree. Camilla is in royal blue, it looks like either a repeat or very similar to another outfit!

Yes, that's what I thought, thanks.

I hadn't realised quite how long Catherine's hair was .
I agree ,it must give a lot of versatility.

She’s gone all mermaid with her hair. I think a shorter cut would look better. She goes look lovely today in her burgundy. Think Melanie’s hat is too large

Here are the details of what Catherine and Camilla are wearing

They are all in their Sunday best! I'm sure the Trumps are impressed with the coaches and guards and castle despite the grey sky.
If I was Melania I would want a tiara.

KiIIingMeDeftly · 17/09/2025 13:41

Kate always looks good in burgundy. Its a new outfit but I'm sure I've seen her in very similar coat dresses before.

Melania's hat looks ridiculous but if I had the husband she does, I wouldn't want him coming too close either!

Choux · 17/09/2025 13:42

I was just thinking that Melanie’s purple hat was a bit odd when her suit and shoes are black and she has no bag. So the hat is the only purple thing. Then I noticed that Trump has a matching purple tie instead of his usual republican red one. So is he wearing purple for the king to show he is not representing his party today?

edit - it’s actually navy with red spots but looks purple from a distance. So he got his republican red in there!

Choux · 17/09/2025 13:48

Today’s outfit seems to be a tweaked version of what she wore for VE Day in May. Add buttons and remove a few pleats.

Pics from the Telegraph, including a close up of the President's tie which does indeed tone with the First Lady's hat!

I love Melania’s hat 😆 it’s very ‘her’! I can’t wait to see footage of her and Kate hanging out with the Squirrel Scouts in Frogmore tomorrow 😄

SweetBaklava · 17/09/2025 14:15

Re. Kate’s hair… I don’t love the length or the blonde extensions/topper or whatever she’s had done. I much prefer it about a 8-12 inches shorter, which still would be very long. Her hair always looks fabulous of course, but my personal preference is a bit shorter and darker.

RomainingCalm · 17/09/2025 14:24

SweetBaklava · 17/09/2025 12:52

I think the ladies all look fabulous 🥰 Fair play to Camilla for turning up… sinusitis is horrendous!!

I agree. If I was Camilla I'd have been employing the MN 'Dressing Gown of Doom' and having a nice cup of tea and a couple of ginger biscuits back at Highgrove!

Kate looks good in the burgundy. I love Melania's 'Don't Come Too Close To Me' hat and her suit is very elegant.

Tonight I'm secretly hoping for the 2nd white gown that Cassiope posted - it's beautiful.

Choux · 17/09/2025 14:30

Camilla’s expression: Yes I tried to get out of being here!

deeahgwitch · 17/09/2025 14:34

Is Melania’s hat a regal purple ? It’s an unusual choice with the suit.And yes it does match DT’s tie, you are correct @Choux
Melania looks very elegant.
Kate didn’t quite wear red 😀 She s the Burgundy a nod to Republican Red ?
Or is it Red and Blue diluted together ?

Sidebeforeself · 17/09/2025 14:51

Someone on another thread has said Melania looks like a beekeeper in that hat and its really tickled me…

It really is.

RomainingCalm · 17/09/2025 15:24

Just seen these photos - Camilla and Kate have both removed their hats but maybe nobody told Melanie the etiquette - it does look a bit ridiculous indoors.

And I’d love to know what William was thinking with that expression…

Her nails. Really long. Not a fan.

Really not far wrong... I helped harvest honey once and remember wearing something similar to this. I like the colour of Melania's hat - I'd call it a figgy purple - but if the whole hiding under her hat thing (which I'm fairly sure she's done before) is supposed to make her unobtrusive and ensure the focus remains on her husband, it doesn't really work!

It doesn't and looks silly indoors. This is her second rodeo. Take the hat off Melania
