Somebody has already used the perfect word: timeless. This is an incredibly regal ensemble and the use of an over-dress has created an almost bridal look. Her feathers are well teamed with the outfit and I think it's very much the signature image of a monarch in her late 80s. Dare I say, this could almost be Victoria.

Her Majesty is fabulous as usual--I hope to be like her in that respect, especially in my 80s!

Unfortunately, this is not unique to the Princess Royal.

My family calls these the "wide load" bows. Flattering to very few brides but ubiquitous in most bridal shops even now.

It's an elegant piece that just breathes class and it couldn't be better suited to it's owner. I don't think there's any similarity between the Queen and the Duchess's outfits other than that they both chose layers and feathers. I think it's one of Camilla's best and I especially thought her headwear complimented her coloring.

Looking the best I have seen in a while--ditto! I can't wait for my hair to go white/platinum.

The outfit itself is fabulous, the colours suit her and they match her colouring but as usual, she isn't content with stopping when it looks fab and adds something stupid. This butterfly orgy on her head simply makes her stand out and it's Autumn's day. She has to the woman we all stare at and it's hard enough when the Granny in law is the Queen. I don't think Bea went out deliberately to upstage but thats how it comes across. Bad choice.

I love you! Beatrix Fan, you always make my day~

I'm assuming the lady in the maroon is Autumn's Grandmother and I have to say that she really stood out as well-dressed. The hat is especially beautiful and that slope to one side gives her that classic doe-eye look that's just stunning. I love the outfit, I love the cream on the hat - I love the look. Well done unknown grandmother type lady.

Nothing wrong with dressing to suit the wearer, nice and classic.
I also want to thank everyone for posting all the photo links as I would have missed out on all these fabulous photos!
