Royal Style: summer's end, but not for style ❤️

[Maireas]

The end of summer lies ahead, but we're hoping for more bling!

Apparently he spent a few hours in the air conditioned suite.

Oh, absolutely! I have teenage sons myself also going through this growing stage. I was just struck by an indicator of potential future height.

They don't look massive to me but DH and DS have size 13 and 12 respectively so I'm used to gargantuan footwear. They can't use most shoe storage so I have heaps of them in the hall.

I see that Sam Chatto is engaged, so we'll have a royal adjacent wedding to enjoy!
I think we know what his mum will be wearing ☺️

He looks like his Mum

Aw, good for them. He looks much younger than 29, doesn't he? And a porcelain ring, how unusual.

Yes, is he an artist like Sarah? I think the couple are both in the creative arena.

A porcelain ring is unusual.
I’d love to see a close up of it.
I’d be afraid I would break it, porcelain is far less durable than metal for everyday wear.
Will the mother of the groom wear a skirt and a cardigan or blouse with pearls for the wedding as is her wont ? 😀
I like Sarah’s fashion style.
If only I got my waist back. Not helped by the Wispa I just had. It wasn’t even nice.

He looks like he should be at school still. Ohh to be blessed with youthful looks.

Samuel is a ceramic artist, apparently, which explains the ring. His brother Arthur is in the Marines! Quite different career paths.

I think it was Arthur who was a brief sensation around the time of Harry's wedding as he was a gym instructor and had posted some workout shots on Instagram?

If I’d bagged myself a Royal fella I’d be mightily unimpressed with a porcelain ring,I can tell you! Maybe its a placeholder until she gets chance to choose one.

Yes! You're right - he's the one in the Marines, not surprisingly! I think he got quite the fan base.

I would imagine it would break quite easily.

He said he proposed with the ring - I suspect a more durable ring will be coming soon.

My son is the same age and looks just as young - is carded all the time.

I'm looking forward to Sarah Chatto's wedding outfit.

Have just gone down a porcelain ring rabbit hole! They are surprisingly durable unless dropped on a hard surface. There are some fantastic ones!

Gosh he doesn't look any older than my 15 year old!

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas
Waves to everyone old & new 👋

I think Eleanor looks so much like the actress Vanessa Kirby who played the young Princess Margaret in The Crown

I've not seen many pictures of her, but she seems very elegant. It'll certainly be a stylish wedding.

Ok, now there's a 50% sale at Emilia Wickstead! We can properly get some royal fashion gear!

Lady Gabriella looking very elegant at Wimbledon with her Dad, brother and sister in law.
I like her handbag and she's obviously been at the Wimbledon shop! Sophie looks lovely in the floral dress.

Oh @Maireas Lady Gabriella looks beautiful there. The green really suits her.
I noticed she is not wearing her wedding ring.
In that Tatler article they showed a photo of her at Ascot in blue which was gorgeous on her.
She is, like her cousin Lady Helen Taylor, so elegant.

Elegant is the exact word. I hope she finds happiness going forward.

Yes, she's not wearing her wedding ring and has reverted to the name of Windsor. It's lovely to see her out at events.
