    Queen Máxima's Daytime Fashion Part 16: September 2019 - May 2020

    I am not going to argue with you but most of what I have read on glove etiquette is from the 19th century where it was considered bad form for a lady to not wear her gloves. She would only remove them if they were soiled. My personal objection to the on/off practice is it looks silly but that is...

    They want to make sure he doesn't start pruning something when he probably should avoid anything too strenuous.

    I am glad to see she is wearing both gloves instead of her usual "one on, one off".

    Beatrice and Edoardo: Wedding Suggestions and Musings Thread

    I wouldn't wish this on anyone but I am sure there will be stories of people who postponed their wedding only to have one partner get the virus and die. The surviving partner spends the rest of their life wishing they had gone ahead with the ceremony even with the restrictions. They could have...

    The Duchess of Cambridge's Daytime Fashion Part 28: January 2020 - October 2020

    Good to see her in appropriate trousers for a change. She should have more outfits like this as she looks very professional.

    King Jigme, Queen Jetsun Pema and the Royal Family of Bhutan 1: Ending 2021

    Nice to get some good news for a change. Somehow I was expecting this to be a little later in the spring - no idea why though.

    There is always the Royal Chapel of All Saints across the road from Royal Lodge. Have a small wedding there and then something bigger later.

    Duchess of Cambridge Jewels 3: January 2016 -

    When I first saw the faux blue and pearl earrings, I thought they looked interesting. However, it wasn't a great picture and they were hidden in her hair which for once was an advantage. Once they were identified I thought they were ugly. As I said on her fashion thread, that dress deserved...

    General News about the Sussex Family, Part One: May 2019 - March 2020

    Something has been bothering me about not only Harry's actions but his continuing talk about his mental health and other comments about how fragile he seems. If and I hope this never happens but if this marriage were to go south, all of his comments could be grounds for Meghan to go for full...

    Nice to see something totally different for her. Also we got a look at the brooch instead of having to guess.

    Queen Máxima's Daytime Fashion Part 16: September 2019 - May 2020

    While I like the fabric, this latest Natan doesn't do it for me. I really dislike these faux cape things. The leather belt is too heavy for the fabric and I think a narrower belt would suit her better. While this one isn't the worst one she has ever worn, the wider belts tend to give Max a...

    The Duchess of Cambridge's Eveningwear Part 10: November 2019 - October 2021

    I like the blue dress. When she wore it before, I was afraid it was one we would never see again. Apparently she is wearing some interesting earrings with it. Not the same ones she wore in India. Unfortunately, they are lost in her hair which tends to be the fate of the interesting ones.

    I really hope it is a pretzel and not another snake piece. Her snake jewels are rather creepy to me.

    The Duchess of Cornwall's Fashion & Style Part 13: November 2019 - May 2021

    It wasn't the gloves I questioned. It was the fact that they were leather. Leather gloves for me are to be worn when outside with a coat in cold weather. If you are going to be inside you would wear fabric gloves. QEII wore what looked like cotton gloves to the investiture.

    Fashion and Style of Royal Men, Part 6: October 2019 - September 2021

    I had some of those when I was in elementary school. We called them rubbers back then (early 1960s). My mom, grandmother and aunts had some that had a hole at the heel so they could be worn over high heels. Galoshes were rubber rain or snow boots. Maybe it was an American thing.

    The Countess of Wessex's Fashion and Style, Part 10: April 2019 - November 2020

    I didn't care for Sophie's dress when I first saw it but I couldn't see the navy inset in the skirt. Seeing the full look, I like it. It looks better today than the Ascot look. I think it is the hat that makes the difference.

    The Duchess of Cornwall's Fashion & Style Part 13: November 2019 - May 2021

    I liked the navy outfit. I love her clutch bag. Unfortunately, it is out of my price range. The black velvet is pretty but I question the black leather gloves. Seems odd for an indoor engagement. At least she wasn't wearing that awful Alhambra set today.

    Best dressed of the day by far. I like the little touch of orange on her hat.

    The green is a lovely color. I don't mind the hat even with the netting. The fit on the dress was really bad. I didn't think the cape thing was executed well. In a couple of pictures outside, it almost looked like it was strangling her due to the wind. I think the nude heels were a mistake. A...

    The Duchess of Cambridge's Daytime Fashion Part 28: January 2020 - October 2020

    I like the color of the red coat but it is same old same old when it comes to style. Quite frankly, I don't think that style does a whole lot for her. Any more, I am not sure what style she should try. As for the hat, at least it wasn't one of those hideous headbands but that doesn't mean I like...

    Adrienne is a cutie. She looks a bit like Leonore but it looks like she inherited Daddy's hair.

    I do not like that dress. It just looks like she ripped her sleeves.

    I love her coat and turtleneck sweater. The blue is lovely. I don't even mind the sprayed on jeans. She is on her time and can wear what she wants. I do think they are inappropriate for official engagements though.

    The Duchess of Sussex's Eveningwear Part 2: September 2019 - November 2023

    Meghan looked very nice in the red gown. I just don't like the cape thing. It just looks weird. Several others have worn something similar and it just doesn't work for me. I am not sure the red was the best color choice just because there was already so much red from the uniforms. A better...

    The Duchess of Sussex's Daytime Fashion Part 5: November 2019 - April 2022

    The all white outfit makes me think July and hot not March and freezing. The sleeves on the blouse would look great on 4 year old Charlotte but not on her 38 year old aunt. I don't really care for the skirt either. The camel coat she was wearing when she left the Goring was very nice. I like a...
