Royal Style: Spring Forward! Bling Forward, too..

[Maireas]

Welcome to style mavens old and new to continue our chats.
Hopefully more bling if there's another banquet on the horizon?

“Zara looks very cluttered…”
A great description @ExcellentDaydream

William and Kate paid a visit to Borough Market.

Some involvement with brewing in the Bermondsey Beer Mile! Kate in a grey checked jacket, blue shirt, slimline trousers and suede boots.

Love the boots 😍

Yes, I like them, too. A bit of a departure.

Me too, gorgeous boots.

I feel like kate's outfit is exactly what we wore in the last 80s early 90s - straight trousers, low boots, shirt and hacking jacket/blazer/

The best bit of Cheltenham Races fashion from my perspective is Camilla's hat with the mad pheasant tail feathers! I get the impression that she dresses to please herself and has reached the age and stage of no longer giving a fig. I may not always like the clothes, but she wears them with glorious insouciance.

Kate's shoes are Jimmy Choo price just shy of 1k I hope she starts a trend and someone copies them 😁

Sophie's at the UN, re Women's Rights.
A burgundy outfit, which I like, different textures and not fussy. Gucci shoes.

Is Edward better now. I've not read anything about it.

Fred and Mary at Uluru. Very 'outback' look.

Was he ill ?

I wondered this. He certainly looks quite frail.

No, he had to pull out of an event because of a heavy cold, but that's all (I think).

Ah well he'll pop up again. Some evil cold viruses about lately

Maybe Fred should've borrowed one of Charles's old safari suits for that photo!

Just for you, Deftly - KC's signature style: yes, the trusty safari suit is there, in all it's glory!

I wonder at what geographical location he switches from the blazers and suits, and goes safari?

The moment he crossed the equator? I notice he and Diana even wore matching safari suits at one point!

She was drawn in.

The first pic is the image that springs to mind when I read about him being quite a looker when he was younger (even 007worthy). Definitely improved with age.

No, sorry, I'm sure Charles is a perfectly nice bloke but he was never a looker. No one would think that if he wasn't royalty!

The sheen of royalty... it does add cachet!
