I like the shape of Alizee’s outfit, however I think that she personally looks a bit swamped by the jacket. In a photo I have seen, she looks like she has no hands. I’m also not overly keen on the colourway of the checks. It looks a bit meh which is a shame on such a striking silhouette. I think the trousers look great on her

I haven't seen it...let me have a look! I like outfits that look like curtains (GO Erdem club!! 😁) so if it's anywhere in that region I'll probably like it...

Just noticed the rogue 'its' in my previous comment regarding Catherine's skirt! 😡😡 Cannot let that go!! Stupid autocorrect.

Have found my dream tiara - a Belle Epoque sapphire and diamond one. Not strictly a royal one, perhaps, but worn by the granddaughter of a princess at the recent Bal in Paris.

Assuming it's not on your spreadsheet @Maireas, please may I claim it?

That is an absolute beauty, @bluegreygreen !
Definitely against your name on the Spreadsheet of Splendour!

It’s funny, I saw Alizee’s outfit and thought how chic she looked. However, if Zara had been wearing the exact same thing I am fairly sure I would have described it as ghastly!

I thought Kate was glowing yesterday at Westminster Abbey - if anyone would like to chip a couple of thousand in to get me a pair of those amazing star earrings I’d be very grateful! Less said about the sparkling tartan skirt although the red tartan skirt and black top/boots outfit that she wore several years ago is still one of my favourites.

Love Anne in her fluffy cardigan. Her dress is a vast improvement on the one earlier in the week. One of the Facebook comments suggested that she calls Charles ‘Old Bean’ which made me smile as I can just imagine it!

Re the earrings - they seem to be around $
£4,000 cheaper if you buy them in the US from the website - which might be an error but it’s an odd price difference.

Just in case £7,000 was more affordable than £11,000!!

That's strange, @wordler !
I've seen that they're from Robinson Pelham, and were a gift from her parents.

Weren’t those the acorn earrings she wore on her wedding day? Mind you, they may have gifted her both pairs.

Yes, they gifted her the acorn ones for her wedding. The star ones are more recent.

I think it’s their go to Jewellers I think they got Carol some jewelry from there for Catherine’s wedding and possibly Pippa’s wedding ‘tiara’ too.

Pallisers · 06/12/2025 21:58

Her earrings are gorgeous.

I loved Catherine's white outfit the best.

Choux · 07/12/2025 14:23

Lady Sarah Chatto and Lady Helen Taylor at the concert. Sarah is wearing her mother’s brooch. I love her whole outfit.

I don't know who that is with them but I like her leopard heels! Sarah really looks like her mother now.

Sidebeforeself · 07/12/2025 15:10

I think Sarah looks like Anne . Helen looks really good.

Maireas · 07/12/2025 15:28

Helen is always stylish. One of her sons is behind her. I think the 2 young women next to her are (possibly) Lady Amelia and Lady Marina, her brother George's daughters?
Both are engaged btw, so we'll have 2 Kent weddings to look forward to.
Sarah definitely has a look of both Margaret and the late Queen.

KiIIingMeDeftly · 07/12/2025 15:29

Young Sarah never looked like young Margaret but older Sarah is very like older Margaret!

Neither of them are Amelia, who looks very like her grandmother now. But one may be Marina.

I can't remember which Gloucester daughter married the Kiwi but she was there with both her kids too.

I don't think I've ever seen Sarah Chatto in anything I didn't love.

deeahgwitch · 07/12/2025 16:22

The 2 girls with Lady Helen - one is probably Eloise and the other Estella ??
Oh my ! I can see Margaret in Sarah for the first time.

She's with Cassius, one of her daughters and Lady Marina I believe

MannersAreAll · 07/12/2025 16:33

Both of the Duke of Gloucester's daughters were there - Lady Rose was with her son Rufus.

There was a really good royal turn out for this one. Prince Michael of Kent was there in a wheelchair, but Princess Michael wasn't - hopefully she's recovered from being unwell after the Duchess of Kent's funeral.

Eaumyword · 07/12/2025 16:43

Oh wow, yes to pp saying Sarah Chatto so looks like Margaret now!
Love Helen's green leather skirt and her velvet blazer.
If I could dress Kate, I would put her in a dark claret or darkest green velvet trouser suit. I think she'd look fab in that.
