God..William is so..."Windsorized" now, you can tell. At least Harry still has the spunkiness and spark...
Autumn and Zara looked smashing, modern, classic. This the very first time I liked what Bea had on. But she, Camilla, and Sophie looked very somber in their shades of blue. Anne wore the same outfit as in 2006, I believe.
The Queen, perfect as always.

I thought Beatrice looked Perfect..Sophie looked effortlessly elegant
but zara stole the show with her hat and her new haircut
in general, they all looked brilliant..
what can i say, their stylists did an amazing job

You sound like that's a bad thing, Lady M. 
Actually I think he looks better in a beard, less formal. Just for fun, I dug up these pictures from gettyimages of Charles when he was sporting a beard.
Charles with beard 1
Charles with beard 2
Charles with beard 3
They both looked better with beards. I wonder how long William will be able to keep his. Apparently, when Charles got home from the Navy, the women in his family didn't like the beard so it came off.

Loving the Countess's heels! They look amazing with her elegant outfit. How high would they be?!

Prince William to grow a beard fairly to become
Camilla is more beautiful, more elegance, more alive, more cheerful after the wedding

Her Majesty and Duchess of Cornwall looked as expected. Countess of Wessex looked regal indeed: a classical jacket paired with a tulip skirt and pill box hat. A dark hue of the blue colour becomes her perfectly. It was refreshing to see Princess Eugine dressed smartly: a turquoise-coloured coat and unfussy unadorned hat. Ms. Zara Phillips gladdened (... sorry for a rather old-fashioned word) our eyes with an edgy fuchsia hat, which perfectly matched a simple brown ensemble. As for men, I would say that Mr. Peter Philips,Prince Harry, and Prince Andrew were great in their classical suits. In my opinion, the beard makes Prince William look drawn.

Sophie looks really beautiful but I don't much like her coat. Sophie looks very fresh though. Maybe it's her hairstyle, which is lovely. Anyway, Sophie and Autumn (love Autumn's coat) look pretty. Well, all the women look pretty. Zara, Beatrice.... Camilla looks hot... she looks so cool in her black leather boots. The whole look (of Camilla) takes some years off, I think. Makes her look kind of hip. It's interesting.
I love Will's beard. It's very Edwardian/post-Edwardian, sort of like G V/Tsar Nicky. Same for Prince Charles. I like Prince Charles with his beard. Thanks for the old pics, ysbel. It's too bad he was pressured to shave it. I read about that story before. Apparently the Queen sent him a subtle message of disapproval!  Also, in Gyles Brandreth's book and also in John Dean's book, there is a pic of Prince Philip with his naval beard!

I don't know...I think Harry still looks and acts his generation (a good thing), and William seems a little more old-fogeyish.... I just get vibes, even from pictures.
I love Camilla boots! That is the second coat of Autumn's I wish I had. The first was the one she wore to HM and HRH's Thanksgiving Service for their 60th anniversary.
Zara did steal the show. I love her bangs and her fascinator...

HM always looks so pleased to receive the flowers and it seems Pss B&E enjoy helping out; they've been doing it since they were quite young. How many ppl are allowed to present the Queen w flowers? Looked like an awfully long line.
I think P Wm looks even more handsome w the beard. It gives him a distinguished look. Harry looks more fuller in the face but still handsome. Of course P Andrew looked fab!
Sophie looked like an airline stewardess to me. Camilla looked very nice. Pss B & E I thought wore very flattering outfits. I don't get the crazy hat that Zara was wearing, though she could def. pull it off. I'm sorry but I don't find Autumn attractive at all. For some reason she reminds me of a cat. Maybe the eyes. I didn't care for what she was wearing either. HM looked very well put together.
