The Omani flag is green, red and white.
Just sayin.
Charles looks a bit sad in that photo.

I think he has just been caught thinking about something

Maybe cutting down on the old grub so that he can enjoy the banquet.

That's a lovely shade of red on Camilla.

I liked all of the dresses in the Swedish photo - Madeline looks fab.

Nice, I think Sophie looks better in one colour, and that suits her.

I love the brooches today. Can’t wait to see the tiaras tonight,

Spacemountain · 20/10/2026 17:38

Do we think Diana's Omani sapphire suite might make an appearance. I hope so, Catherine would look stunning wearing them.

The flowers for tonight are absolutely beautiful ❤️

They always are, and the place settlings are wonderful.

Sophie looks lovely there.

Someone needs to wear the Omani diamonds😀 They are very different!

Me! Me! Me! I'll wear them! 😀

Am wondering which brooch Sophie is wearing? Would love it to be one of the three that QEII kept from her wedding gift convertible tiara from the Nizam of Hyderabad. QEII broke up the tiara but kept the rose-shaped elements that could be used as brooches, and they were among her most-worn.

RomainsCalmish · 20/10/2026 18:10

I always like the videos of them inspecting the table and place settings etc. The flowers are stunning.

She looks great. The fitting is impeccable and that's a lovely shade of green for her.

Her tailoring is always immaculate.

eggandonion · 20/10/2026 18:40

If they have bits and pieces they don't wear they could have a lucrative hire service.
The flowers are always beautiful.

IceLollly · 20/10/2026 18:41

I need to go out for a while. What time do I get to see a tiara and a frock!

gingercat02 · 20/10/2026 18:51

I like Kate's coat and hat, but its very Kate! Im tall (taller than Kate, but sadly fatter too 😉).I like things really long, they feel quite glamorous and a bit luxurious.
Camilla suits a strong colour. Good choice.
Looking forward to the banquet, bet Mary wins the bling, her new tiara is lovely. The reworking is a great idea as a young, modern queen.

I'm the same height as Kate (but several times fatter) I grew up with things never quite fitting, sleeves a little too short, waists a little too high, trousers looking like they'd had an argument with my shoes so when I find something long it does feel good. I wonder if Kate has the same fear that things are just that bit too short so over compensates.

Hoping for more colour, jewels and style as Autumn draws near.

Absolutely! I wud love to see her lean into richer autumn colours, statement jewels, and a little more fashion drama. 🍂✨ She always looks polished, but a few bolder choices would be so refreshing.

bluegreygreen · 20/10/2026 19:10

There are more photos on the State banquet thread on the RF board, if anyone is interested.
