Royal Style: Hoping for Yuletide shimmer, but not too many green coats!

[Maireas]

Evening! Just setting up the next thread in case the other one fills up!

Erdem and trainers. A fabulous look.

As a disabled person, I felt vindicated, when someone would tell me I couldn’t wear trainers, with a ‘going out’ dress. If a duchess could and did, then, limited mobility MrsNewAge certainly can.

I think it looks great. It actually shows that you can have footwear suitable for formal occasions, which doesn't compromise your health and comfort.

Kate was out today watching England play Ireland in the Six nations. She made a team scarf look very polished - the coat is a lovely blue.

That's a nice blue. She looks lovely.

Kate will be deciding on her St Patrick's Day coat soon! We will set the rugby score to one side.

Let us guess..,

I thought Kate looked the best I’ve seen her in a long time (health-wise), I hope this means she is well and truly on the road to recovery now. Loved the blue coat - jewel tones always look great on her.

I agree about the jewel tones.

I loved the pink dress on the Duchess of Kent in picture 20.
The blue jacket with the symmetrical buttons was great tailoring.
A lot of what she wore wasn’t great ( even for its time ) but what a great lady she was. Her warmth shone through. May she rest in peace.
Glad you made the corrections re the photograph number @Maireas as I thought you were losing the plot 😂

😂😂

The Duchess of Kent visited my sons’ school in 1970 (many years before they were there!)

She looks very elegant in the photos, even if her outfit reminds me a bit of some sort of uniform that I can’t quite put my finger on - maybe Mary Poppins or a Norland nanny or something (?)

Yes, an outfit very much of it's time.

I have been rewatching The Crown and the fashions are fabulous. I can only watch it when my husband isn't around as he isn't keen rewatching! Young Princess Margaret was so glamorous in real life.

I wonder if the Wales are going to the Baftas? I bet they are all steeling themselves for public appearances at the moment, but the BAFTas shouldn’t be too problematic I think

William and Catherine (and Charles and Cam) appear to be business as usual. They have all been out and about (can't remember the correct royal S&B spelling) since the arrest.
I hope they are at the BAFTAs but I wouldn't expect a lot of pizzazz under the circumstances.

"oit and aboit" 😉

Sorry, yes I know they’ve been doing their duties as normal but I mean they must be having to “ brace” themselves beforehand

Ooh they are there! Kate in a rewear - a pink shaded dress that I absolutely love. I’ll try to link

its this dress but this isn’t a photo of tonight

Photo not working and I’m travelling so can’t sort it out .. sorry!

Video here. Horrid dress, but they look chilled and very happy.

Yes, I'm not keen on the dress, I don't like the colour or that strange bodice.

Ohhh I don’t like Kate’s dress.

Thanks @gingercat02 for doing a better job than I did! Im surprised people dont like the dress. I think its very princessy!

I rarely like pink but I actually quite like this one and it’s a nice change. Those Greville earrings and the cuff bracelet are stunning.
