A lady that tall does not need those heels!

Love the colour, and it looks great from the front.

Not sure about the back of the jacket.

I'd like to see it when she's not crouching as it bunches at the back even more

Sidebeforeself · 13/05/2026 13:43

She’s worn that blouse a few times ( or has v similar ones). I really like it but I’d be too heavy chested I think.Still - anyone know where its from?

Pallisers · 13/05/2026 13:53

Another big hit from Sophie with that navy dress.

I'm not a fan of Catherine's blue trouser suit. It is ok I suppose.

The handbag is nice but I often wonder why they carry handbags in meet and greet situations like that - surely there is someone who can hold it for them or slip a couple of tissues into their own bag. I remember years ago listening to a scottish woman talking about QEII's "coronation" in Scotland and her shock at seeing her process down the aisle of St Gile's cathedral for the presentation of the sceptre etc. with a handbag over her arm.

Oh I don’t know, it’s nice to see her towering over all the men 😆😆

I on the other hand love the back of the jacket - adding a bit of interest to a trouser suit. It’s very like the gorgeous Chloe blazer she has in blush pink, which I covet greatly.

Also - very diplomatic, dressing in Savoy blue!

I like the colour and the back detail, it adds some interest and shape. I'm not sure about the trousers.
The blouse looks quite simple and unfussy.

Kate looks great. I love the detail on the back ofbthe jacket.
Us tall woman are allowed to love a heel too. I'm often taller than my almost 6 foot DH.

Yes indeed for the handbag controversy, so much so that when a painting was done of the event, the artist left out the handbag.

Sophie's ooutfit was fabulous, perfect colour and fit.

Catherine's is a thumbs down from the, the colour is OK but trousers too flarey and I don't like the sharp crease at the front. They look like 70s crimplene slacks.

Kings Speech today. Cams looks great, bearing in mind the occasion.
Plenty of sparkles on display

Not so sure about Catherine’s suit, the fabric looks thick, maybe a different colour top underneath🤷‍♀️

Maireas · 13/05/2026 14:54

Oh dear, verging on to slacks territory... redeeming fact; they're not in brown.

Glad to see Camilla wearing the State Diadem. That is a beauty and needs to be worn.
