That caught me by surprise! We had a flurry!
New thread.

The lace is pretty but I personally feel jars with the tunic/shift upper style of the dress.
Love an excited happy bride - looks as if they are all having such a good time despite the weather!

KiIIingMeDeftly · 06/06/2026 15:03

I think I'd like it a lot more without the lace filling in the neckline.

Maireas · 06/06/2026 15:04

It looks like a pinafore with a lace top underneath, which I'm not keen on. At first I thought the lace part may have been a shrug, but it doesn't look like it

Catherine’s outfit is not a colour I would have thought of but I think she looks lovely. I think the collar is particularly flattering on her. Love the colour of Zara’s dress but the shoes look more suited to Strictly than a wedding 😆. Camilla and Charles look classy and beautifully coordinated. I wonder if they will change to go to Epsom as their outfits seem perfectly suited for there too. I like Beatrice’s floral dress but Eugenie looks more like she is going to a funeral than a wedding. Anne is just Anne, but with the navy gloves and green umbrella, she is slightly straying in to batty lady territory 😆

Lord Snowdon was there with his girlfriend, who was wearing a similar shade to Kate. Lady Sarah was also in attendance but I've not seen a good picture of her. But I'm guessing hat, full skirt and slightly cropped cashmere cardigan!

Edited

I didn't realise Snowdon had a new girlfriend, perhaps the next wedding?
Yes, Lady Sarah has found her style and is sticking to it!

I love Sarah Chatto. She was the best royal bride by a country mile. She totally would have been in her cardi today, without a scrap of makeup.

Sounds like it.

on loan from the jeweller who made her engagement ring

KiIIingMeDeftly · 06/06/2026 15:31

Was Mark Phillips there? I've not seen any photos of him.

Maireas · 06/06/2026 15:34

Snowdon's girlfriend looks tres chic. Sarah Chatto in black and white, which is an odd choice for a summer wedding. I like Sophie's blue outfit, but not the handbag, which looks a bit strange.

Slightly disappointed in Sarah's outfit tbh!

Me too. She has her "look" and usually it works well. Not today though.

I really like Camilla and Kate .i think the bride looks beautiful in that her hair and make up look great and her evident joy . I dont like the top half of the dress with the high lace neckline etc - I find it a strange choice for an early summer wedding - if it had been sunny and warm today she would have been really hot in it.

Perhaps the bridesmaids would have looked better with a heeled shoe ?

Maireas · 06/06/2026 15:40

Mark Phillips was there, apparently.
I'm disappointed in Margarita AJ's outfit, very creased and a strange combination of colours. The top almost looked like a waterproof jacket? Odd headress, too.

No cardi for Sarah! She still
looked chic though. Linley’s girlfriend was one of the stylish guests.

Suddenly, all this generation of royals are looking old. I mean, I know they’re not young, but it struck me.

She looks like she had forgotten it was the wedding, remembered on her way to work and found a sun hat lurking in the boot of the car.😉

LaJacondeFumantLaPipe · 06/06/2026 15:41

I don't normally comment on theae threads but I saw some pictures on the BBC of the Princess of Wales at the wedding of Peter Phillips and had to come and find you!

I love what the Princess of Wales is wearing. I agree that it probably isn't a colour I would have chosen but I think she looks beautiful.

MrsFaustus · 06/06/2026 15:46

I think the bride’s dress is beautiful but would have been better and more elegant without a veil.Too virginal and distracts from the neckline. Bridesmaids, veils, a bit inappropriate for divorcee in her 40s. Im probably old fashioned though.

KiIIingMeDeftly · 06/06/2026 15:54

Snowen's girlfriend is very elegant but his daughter looks like she's donned a waterproof over her dress!

Pallisers · 06/06/2026 15:54

I found you!!!! Thank you @Maireas

I'm not a huge fan of the wedding dress but she looks happy and nice and that is all that matters. I love her bridesmaids dresses though - lovely fall of the skirt. Snowden's girlfriend was very very chic - although I think I'd prefer if the sash was not in a contrasting colour.

I can't say anything nice about that red dress on Kate - I don't even like the ruby/diamond pendant and earrings with it. But I really like the dress she is wearing to the wedding.

deeahgwitch · 06/06/2026 15:57

So this is where you are.
Just found this new thread. Phew !
I have just seen the wedding photos.
Not keen on the bride’s dress. Too buttoned up iykwim.
Kate looks so elegant if a little too thin.
and Imho her hair needs 2 inches off.
Love Zara’s outfit, the blue is just beautiful, is that an Anya Hindmarch bag ?
Love Sophie’s outfit too.
Camilla’s is a gorgeous colour.
The bridesmaids are lovely as are Mia Tindal and Lena.
Not too keen on Princess Anne’s outfit. It’s grand and could be a whole lot worse.
