That's an outfit which definitely belongs here.
It's a bad joke on herself, an ideal costume for any actor, male or female, doing a nasty parody of the lady on a comedy show.
The saddest thing is that she can do much better with the exact style opposite of everything she is wearing here.

Well, if the DoC feels comfortable in that thing, what can we say? I'm sure it's a new approach of how a royal lady should look in the 21st century, but too artistic for me...he he

Talk about a sack of potatoes..........What was she thinking?????

[susan alicia]

the cape and lining is really weird. I think even she is laughing about her outfit.
Like her double poppies though

The cape reminded me of Derek Lam. But he designs for 25 year old girls...lol

I just couldn't resist poking my oar into this gloriously tempting thread!

My all time nightmare outfit is that frock the Princess Royal wore to Charles and Diana's wedding and hauled back out of the mothballs again over two decades later to wear to another family wedding... I believe it may have been for Lady Rose Windsor's nuptials on that second occasion!

That frock to me, the first time round conjured an image of little Peter and Zara, having been rathe naughty and having thrown there breakfast time boiled eggs and yoke dipped toasted soldiers at Mummy when she had gone to see them on her way to St Paul's on that sunny July morning in 1981! That frock was almost as memorable as seeing Diana emerging from the glass coach, looking like she had literally slept for several consecutive days in her cringe-making crumpled and horribly creased wedding dress!!!!!! The Emanuels must have wanted the floor to open when they saw what had happened to the meringue like fairy tale creation during that short carriage ride from Clarence House!!!!

Then all those years later the 'egg-spattered' frock made that second appearance and this time I was put in mind of a victim of a paint ball game where the opponents had had yellow-orange paint balls in there weapons and that from the liberality of the splodges on her frock, the Princess Royal had evidently not been very good at finding cover during the game!

In the younger generation I can not help but frequently cringe when Beatrice and Eugenie play dress up and go out to play! Eugenie's Young Victoria gown was absolutely not for her...poor thing......it made her look like a weetbix IMHO! Which should never have happened if she had had 'kindly' and truthful stylist/friend/mother/sister on hand when she first tried it on! Somehow those York girls never seem to get it 'quite' right! Admittedly on occasion they are passable and presentable and I know they are young, but goodness me! And then there were those fascinator titfer thingies they developed a pash for!

Remember that swarm of butterflies that appeared to be erupting from the side of Beatrice's lustrous Titianesque red locks combined with a red,yellow splodged top and peacock type inspired blue,blown, turquoise butterfly-ish (the dyes ran a bit on a hot wash type) print skirt - it was a horror combination IMHO!

At the same wedding, Eugenie fared little better in her white fascinator that looked like a napkin that had been rolled up into an attempt at a decorous table setting piece from a pretentious restaurant and her rah rah skirt was simply urgh!!!! The pair should have sacked their stylist(s) if they actually had one at the time for allowing them out during day light hours in such disasters!!!!


But I must try to be charitable as Bea and Eugenie are still young! But I shall say that I do not remember ever shrieking in abject horror at any real disasters cladding the likes of say Madeleine or Charlotte C. at the same age...though I am sure they may have made a few dodgy choices on occasion!

Once again I agree Scooter! 'Anyone for a spot of stalking' sprang to mind when I first saw this cape get up! Is this cape the one that is lined with the old family furs? I am not sure if it is....but it does make her look like she is a bit of a parody IMHO!!

It is most unflattering to her and the colour ('fawn' is it or perhaps 'biscuit') is rather bland and draining on DOC! I wish she would wear more bright 'chirpy' hues as they really do suit her so well!

I have the distinct feeling she wore this outfit to show solidarity with some of the Canadians. The shoulder cape works really well on any coat, Burberry do a very good riding coat, as do Drizabone, with a shorter cape. Our imaginary friend Shelock Holmes wore a full cape of course.

I like neither the colour/style or dead animal lining, the boots however are very nice indeed.
