Royal females . High heels.

[beccahamlet]

I am not a royalist, but I thought today was really special. One thing that struck me though was the high heels. They could barely walk in them, especially on the cobbles. Isn't it a shame that women have to torture themselves like this.

As a feminist I hate to say this but thought they looked fab. Beatrice looked great today actually. The only thing that I struggle with was whether Beatrice or Eugenie were wearing tights. Looked like they had bare legs. Would have worn black sheets like Sophie and Kate.

Agree

The fashion has completely changed since Diana Princess of Wales wore flats or low heels, and I do not think it's a change for the better

*sheers

They probably hadn’t banked on walking back to the castle though

I don't understand the "it's a shame women have to torture themselves like this" comment. Maybe they want to wear them and don't have to wear them?
I wear heels at occasions like this because it helps me feel more put together, more confident in myself and more comfortable in a dress etc. I don't see why it couldn't be the same for them and they didn't have to wear them!

Obviously my case I mean normal funerals as occasions like this not royal ones

@MrsCaptainJakeBallard me toooo. I love getting dressed up and wearing a high heel.

I always wore high heels when I was young. Now my poor feet get tortured in them
I hate being old

@blessex, just the one?

@Chunkymenrock .

They all looked like they were hobbling, other than Kate who probably has an advanced certificate in Walking In Very High Heels

I thought it a shame Beatrice and Eugenie didn't follow the queens example and wear black tights. It's what she believes is appropriate and I would have respected that and worn them, irrespective of my own tastes

@DareIask completely agree

Hasn't Beatrice got the most amazing eyes. She still looks stunning wearing a mask.

Princess Anne had low heels.

They were at their grandad’s funeral and people are judging their colour of tights?

I noticed Camilla and Anne in manageable heels. The younger women all in stilettos. Eugenie (i think) really struggled with the cobbles and the others all moved into the road to avoid them.

I did think a less extreme heel might have been more suitable.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel yep because beatrice and eugenie looked like they weren’t wearing any. Yep @DuchessOfSausage she has lovely eyes.

Yes!!! They were clearly meant to get the cars back and Charles decided to walk so they all had to! I really felt for Beatrice having to navigate the cobbles in her lovely stilettos - probably chosen on the basis that they'd be getting a ride back! It reminded me of every bloody wedding where there's a walk from church to reception and you're cursing your shoes!

It is obviously completely personal choice but I think high heels just look a bit ridiculous. I'm used to seeing them so it doesn't stand out but when you think about them they are quite weird.

Honestly Britain get a grip. What kind of vultures have we become filming and watching A FUNERAL? And then commenting on the fashion.

On the morning of your grandfather's funeral, you would ring your grandmother and ask if she was wearing tights and what colour?

@youshallnotpass9 if I as a mere commoner know that it's considered the correct etiquette I'd expect the queens grand daughters to.

And Id expect them to have the food grace to respect it.

No phone call required.

Well I wouldn't personally make comments about an individual's outfit (my comment on shoes was general not related to this funeral, I did not see the walking) but state funerals have been state funerals forever.

Maybe the queen, quite rightly, couldn't give a flying fuck what was on her grandaughters' legs.

@DareIask it was tradition to have a state funeral, but that rule got broken as well.
