King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation was celebrated during a special ceremony in Scotland on July 5, 2023. King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales at a national service of thanksgiving at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, as part of Royal Week. During the ceremony, the King was presented with the Honours of Scotland, the oldest Crown Jewels in the world.
I don‘t like the outfit! The hat looks cheap!
ReplyDeleteI agree (Tara)
DeleteUne chance que c'était le roi Charles 111 et la reine Camilla qui étaient honorés car, les photos sont à 90% sur la personne de Kate. C'est vrai que c'est plus vendant. Quel honte! Lorraine
ReplyDeleteJe suis d'accord. La cérémonie concernait le roi Charles et non Kate. Les articles de journaux sont faits pour le gossip. Honte. Irene
DeleteJe partage vos analyses.
DeleteThis is a fashion blog so not much to comment on the robes of the Order of Thistles. Only fashion items to comment on are Kate's hat and coat. Naturally we get to see theese pictures.

Dear Irene, the women’s magazines give the people what they are looking for, e.g., gossip and scandal.
DeleteBut you know, I often thumb through them at the newsagent's but never buy them.
Those type of magazines would never be seen in my house 😁
I love the colour of Catherines outfit and especially the contrasting fabrics of the deep V, pseudo-shawl collar. I also like her hat and her hair do. I don't care much for the outfit from the waist down. Catherine has a long, dropped waist (not necessarily a bad thing) and the length of the dress/coat overly accentuates that.

Yes, you’re right…and the deep V neck and the long line of buttons contribute to that too. (V.M.)
DeleteCatherine looks so good, it almost hurts... pure classy perfection!

Simply boring. Stefania
DeleteYes same boring style. Anna
DeleteBeautiful outfit and great color. Both William and Cathrine have grown into their Role as The PoW couple, just beautiful. css
ReplyDeleteAgree. Beautiful blue to match our St Andrew’s saltire 🏴 Updo is perfect and shoes and hat are good too. I was also sorry not to see the Princess Royal as she is such a great supporter of so many Scottish events
DeleteAnnieM
Not sure what they actually contribute but for sure dressed up with a display of heavy jewels for Kate at formal or less formal events. Her style is conservative as per her role, i can get that, but she dresses like the late Queen and she’s only early 40s!
DeleteMary
Catherine looks flawless and beautiful as always. But I don't like it personally. It's just too matchy-matchy and the updo, the hat, the necklace... while all appropriate and pretty, it ages her tremendously. While I wasn't a big fan of the coat back in 2022 either, I much preferred her styling then over this one. She wore a pillbox hat, minimalist jewellery and her hair in a half-up. So much more youthful and flattering. Also not sure if a coat is the best thing to wear with this rather hot weather. I hardly ever see other royals in these coat dresses. I sometimes feel like she's cosplaying as the Princess of Wales rather than just being herself. Sorry, Catherine. While striking, it's a no from me!

Sorry to say that it was not hot today in Edinburgh.
DeleteSorry to disagree, DSC. I am putting soothing cream on my arms and face after standing in the warm sunshine for over 6 hours! 😎
DeleteAnnieM
It was sunny and partly windy, that's why people got sunburned. Hot, for that matter, is different.
DeleteThe Duchess of Rothesay (aka The Princess of Wales) in a re-wear from Easter this year but paired with a different hat this time. I did expect the rest of the bunch to appear in the Robes of the Order of the Thistle and I was right with my prediction. Sorely missed are the Edinburghs (been to NHS 75th Anniversary Service at Westminster Abbey) and Anne Princess Royal. So, there was an only thinly spread out presence of royals on this festive occasion in Edinburgh today. A bit sad, imho. They could have send the Gloucesters or the Mapelli-Mozzis to attend NHS, so that the Edinburghs could have come to - erm - Edinburgh. Also, Anne was there at yesterday's garden party, so her absence today is a bit inexplicable to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is somewhat peculiar that the Dukes of Edinburgh are missing and the presence of Anne is not noted. Too much visibility on Kate, almost inappropriate . Irene
DeleteIs this an example of the slimmed down monarchy or just too much going on at once?
DeleteForse la scelta di essere in pochi è giusta, la Scozia vuole staccarsi e spesso Carlo viene contestato.
DeleteRossella
Although a great admirer of Kates sense of style, this time there is something missing for me.I think with the small hat the proportions of the total outfit are not right: it makes the coat too long.
ReplyDeleteFurther the colour of her clothes is too outstanding: the attention has to go to the King and Queen.
Mabel
Her look is off and almost cringe-worthy. Matchy-matchy and cheap looking hat 🧢. Very loud shiny blue. Agree with poster above who mentioned cosplay princess look.
ReplyDeleteI think her signature "uniform" has worn thin. It is very easy to predict what she will wear to these events, we only need to guess the color.
DeleteAgree, too much attention for Catherine, she should have chosen a less loud colour. This event is not about her but about Charles and Camilla !!
DeleteAlways the same old boring style a 50+ would wear!
DeleteBecca
This is a beautiful colour on The Princess, the style is a no for me. She needs more fullness around the hips to give her some shape in a dress or coat. This outfit ages her beyond her years, her stylist have to up their game, too repetitive lately. Dress her to her age she is not fifty yet, so stop dressing as a fifty year old woman.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if she was 50, this is still to old, predictable...
DeleteI’m 50+ and wouldn’t wear that outfit ! 😉
DeleteSame thought. Between the long coat-dress and the heavy pearl necklace, she certainly borrows from an 60+ woman’s wardrobe. Very much something the late Queen Elisabeth or Camilla would wear.
DeleteAnna
This gorgeous coat was certainly worth a repeat, but she must be setting a record for fastest turnaround time. I'm afraid the second headpiece is less successful than the previous, but that fab choker makes up the difference entirely.
ReplyDeleteSharp v neckline doesn't work well with choker.
ReplyDeleteCatherine looks beautiful in this repeat of a beautiful Catherine Walker blue outfit. I'm on the fence about the hat because I have liked the hats she has worn with this outfit in the past better. I also like that she chose to wear blue to reflect the Scottish flag--thoughful diplomatic dressing.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Unfortunately these very tight coat dresses are not a good choice for her body type. Monochromatic colour choices just underline her stickyness. She could look great but she hardly ever does. -Siri
ReplyDeleteThe Princess of Wales coat don't look like a summer outfit to me even if the weather was not that hot. Everybody is talking about the hat looking cheap, I don't know. What I do know is that the whole outfit looked boring : the shape, the color, the accessories everything. King and queen and crown prince in their ceremonial coats and hats. King Charles needs a haircut as soon as possible or did he decided to let his hair grow ? What I noticed about Prince William is that he often looks like he is in a bad mood. I could be wrong of course. Rose
ReplyDeleteWould that any of us could ever look so incredibly elegant. Kate is an absolute knockout, day after day, and much criticised for doing her best, following style/protocol advice and dare I say, wearing also what she enjoys. Fair play! Folks, let’s always consider that this is a public blog and any of these public figures or their children may stumble across what we write. - AnneLise
ReplyDeleteDo you mean we cannot expres our opinion ? Should we always like the outfits ?
Delete100% Agree with you Anon 14:20. Rosie.
DeleteCatherine looks beautiful, very elegant, though a lot of blue. The pearl earrings, choker and bracelet, are a lovely addition.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coat dress but I find it too long.It is also cut very narrow over the hips accentuating her long torso. I would like to see her trying a slightly wider silhouette.
ReplyDeleteLadyofthemanor
Elégante Kate dans cette robe manteau mais je trouve trop de bleu ; son chapeau aurait mérité une touche plus moderne !
ReplyDeleteI sincerely miss Edward and Sophie, they are Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh after all !!
ReplyDeleteElectric 80’s blue overload. Found this garish and the fabric looks like a cheap polyester which I am sure it’s not.
ReplyDelete~Peonies
Catherine as usual, looks simply beautiful, classic, and modern, no matter what she wears.
