Each year in June, members of the Order of the Garter gather in Windsor to celebrate the crown’s most noble order, which has existed since 1348. On June 16, King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended the Order of the Garter service at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh, who are not yet members of the Order, were also in attendance.
The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain, established by King Edward III nearly 700 years ago. Most members of the royal family usually attend the annual service, and many senior working royals are Knights and Ladies of the Order.
This time around I think Sophie's stands out as being the star of the show. The fabric of her dress is so gorgeous in that soft pink shade. The design is exquisite with the flowing tie around the waist, the draped feminine bodice and 3/4 length sleeves. The lovely hat tops it off with style. I also like Catherine's skirt as it's a bit daring but still modest and the multi strand necklace which is an unusual style for her.
ReplyDeleteAnd again: beautiful Catherine! In the portrait-photo she looks a bit tired, but it could be the light.
ReplyDeleteFull marks for both Catherine and Sophie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cream two piece re-wear, beautiful pink dress with the A-line bodice once more, beautiful colours, and beautiful hats (especially Catherine's).
And let's rejoice a little because Sophie got the length of her dress just perfect today.

La duchesse Sophie est délicieuse dans cette robe rose pâle avec le chapeau assorti !
ReplyDeleteWow I’m blown away by Duchess Sophie’s look. Perfect styling. The color cut and length is ideal for her shape. The hat is light and complimentary of the dress. I hope Sophie stick to this type of styling ,really does flatter her.
ReplyDeletePrincess Catherine in Self Portrait isn’t my favourite look from her. I think it’s the lacy bottom that spoils it. The jacket and hat are pretty.as are her chosen accessories.
Lowri.
Catherine and Sophie both look great today! Just wondering what qualifies a royal for this order. It seems like Sophie should have qualified long ago with all the engagements and roles she has done in the past and continues to do.

The ladies look lovely, although Sophie's dress style at the top half is not flattering to her figure.
ReplyDeleteSophie is pretty in pink. I see Catherine’s signature look, very tailored.
ReplyDeleteSuch á colourfull Tradition!
ReplyDeleteThe enthousiastic spouses look wonderfull!
Love especially Sophies dress and the colour and form of her hat.
Everyone looks really great! But, I don't know. The lacey bottom of Catherine's skirt just doesn't work for me. Other than that, she looks perfectly lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe PoW looks stunning and perfect. I believe Pss Beatrice has the same outfit only in black.

Rewearing clothes is great, but Catherine wore this just a few weeks ago! sge could have got something from years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hat, Catherine?
ReplyDeleteKate and Sophie both look lovely in what I think are repeat outfits.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to Royal Ascot where there are always lots of
beautiful dresses on display.
Cate.
