Royal Style: A Double Breasted Safari Suit? We need to discuss...

[Maireas]

Hello style mavens, let's continue the chat...

I love a bit of tartan at Christmas, in fact right through the winter.

I've just recalled that I have a fur collar a Christmas present from years ago. Every winter I forget to wear it. I shall try to wear it this winter, I think it's in the spare room.

It’s being reported that Kate personally invited Bea and Eug (but obviously their parents were not invited) but they both had prior engagements. But Eug posted a nice message referring to everyone at the concert as their family. I guess they are now stuck in the middle between parents and extended family and it was just too soon after the title stripping for them to feel comfortable attending something their parents are banned from.

Yes, absolutely. But no excuse for a double breasted jacket. 😂

I've often wondered what they do after the event. Do they go back to someone's place for mulled wine and mince pies.

Kate looks lovely.
The DM said Charlotte was dressed in black velvet. It looked navy to me.
She didn’t have a coat on. I hope it wasn’t too chilly for her. Her Mum and Dad had coats and her brothers had jackets.

Do the Gloucesters live in the city ? Where would be the handiest for afters?

It looked navy to me too, and with matching tights. I'm sure she was fine - it was only a short walk from the car to the building. Not like she'll need to hang around in the cold for an Uber!

Yes, it definitely looked navy to me.

But I would say the venue was chilly @KiIIingMeDeftly

Is it? I thought it was heated?

Louis’ suit looked a bit small- the jacket was short on him…..

I'm sure Kate made sure they were all wearing their thermals underneath!

Kids. Just when you plan an outfit, they go and have a growth spurt!

I think they live at Kensington Palace. Kate and William also have the huge and now rarely used Apartment 1A at Kensington so could easily host a reception there for the Middletons and the royals.

A lady was there in a dress with bare arms, so hopefully it was warm inside.

Prince Michael looked very alone there I hope he met up with family.

Katie Melua looking like a Disney princess.

Zara's shoes I've envied before.

The royals have a lunch coming up soon I think when the clan get together.

They do but you never get to see their outfits. Just pics from inside their cars IIRC

I know we’ve seen Catherine in millions loads of green coats, but this one was bang on. The fur collar elevated the look and particularly liked the hint of tartan skirt underneath.

10/10 from me 😊

Charlottes dress definitely looks like navy, and I think George has a green tie on.

I love that type of family coordination. Used to do it when my dc were little (and before they had opinions 😂)

Whilst Catherine’s coat and hair were not new, I thought she looked very glowy and radiant tonight.

As soon as I saw this photo of Carole (who also looks lovely) I thought she looked very county - and sure enough, apparently it’s a House of Bruar coat

All Kate’s Carol Concert looks. This year is a repeat of last year but in a different colour coat with a different neckline detail. I love the white outfit as it refreshingly different for her.

I like the green coat best even though she has a massive collection.
George has grown very tall. Not surprisingly given his genes. The king must be very proud of them. (I know Im projecting!)

Yes, the white is my favourite too. Its the most unusual and a more modern silhouette than the coat/dress.

Agree, I’d forgotten about the white outfit.

Still think she looks good this year though.

I agree. The white outfit was fab.
